Australian cricketers ‘forced’ to load own luggage upon arrival in India

English August said:
Indeed. So no one is trying to kill them, are they? Just getting them to load their own luggage. What's the big deal? I do that all the time.

Why go out of your way to make them feel nice? They don't do that when the Indian team visits Aus.

1.It was Australian team's job to arrange assistance in this case.

2.They were offered porter services they refused.

The Indian cricket team is treated perfectly well in Australia.

I have no idea what you are on about.

And this is coming from a guy who doesn't care that a bunch of grown men had to carry their own luggage.

Indian Team makes its own logistic arrangements and luggage logistics is one of them.So no CA has no role in arranging pick up for luggage.

Yeah which is fine.

I don't get the issue with this at all.
 
Non-issue with bunch of adults carrying their own bags.

Exactly, in Pakistan there are folks that will get mad if a guest comes and refuses to eat...people will go hungry to feed their guests!

I guess getting richer also becoming small hearted as well!

Yep, Pakistan knows that legandary hospitality inspired BCCI to not pay Pak team's share of the money from 1987 WC for well over 15 years!

What a country
 
Good planning by India, in the hope that couple of Aussies get a bad back by loading those heavy bags onto a truck ...
 
That's a proper welcome in my book. (metaphorically and literally)
Nothing will be given to them in this tour. If loading their own cargo is a challenge and news worthy, wait and until they face a rampaging Jadashwin.
Australia welcome to India.
 
BCCI should apologize to the Australian team. This is not the way to treat ur guests, we Indians r known for our hospitality, aren't we? :srini
 
What's all the whining about? They provided porters but Australia refused right? So what's the big deal not everyone is pampered some people like to do their own work however small it maybe rather than living like privilege kings..
 
From now on guess we'll see foreign players staying in cheap motels with no air conditioning sharing a tum tum to travel, having meals like in road side dhabas, washing laundering their own clothes, etc. No money no luxuries. It all makes sense.

You are right. People in our part of the world get offended quite easily when they are on the receiving end. And if its their favorite celebrity is getting treated like this they will come out of their houses and burn public properties such as taxi, buses or destroy railway tracks. Kudos to Australians for not making any fuss out of this situation. Even the loading truck looks very dirty and unhygenic. This is not the india I know about. I am finding it funny that few fans are blaming it on supreme court.

Indians aren't usually like this when it comes to these issues.

It's quite embarrassing especially in such a high profile case but I don't think you should imply it's typical. Normally the standard of reception is quite good, if not excellent.

Only way to find out is for me to go myself, say for about 2-3 weeks holiday minimum to test this hospitality out as part of some Pakpassion hospitality quality assurance initiative.

I expect all travel arrangements to be paid for
 
This thread is absolute gem :snack:

Australian player did not opt for the porter service provided for by BCCI, that has been very well made clear.
No Australian media has reported this and Indian media has forgotten. But tabloids who survive on clicks love to sensationalize every misinformed incident. Pakistanis are getting giddy at the loss of prestige for Indian hospitality while Indian posters are out to defend the honor of their motherland (as if BCCI represents that).

maybe Aus players refused becoz the people hired were no good. It's BCCI's fault. I mean the players carry expensive & breakable stuff but if the BCCI hires inexperienced staff it's not the fault of the Australian players to turn it down. By saying Oz players refused help these people are shilling for the BCCI for no reason.

Or maybe they refused because they could do this own their own. These are grown men, and unlike the pampered Desi superstars, they don't mind carrying their own luggage.

It was 1996 WC. Here are couple of quick ones I could fine, You can shove it and stay shuush! Once in a while just being quite does help. If you want more sources, then go ahead and type Google in the browser


"India will hand over money owed to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) from the 1996 World Cup, an Indian cricket official said on Monday.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been holding around $4 million belonging to the Pakistan-India-Sri Lanka Committee (PILCOM) which organised the 1996 World Cup.

This was due to long-pending tax cases in India, some of which are yet to be settled, Indian board treasurer N.Srinivasan told reporters.

"Pending the resolution of the income-tax matters, their (Pakistan's) portion of the money would be released on the PCB furnishing a suitable guarantee," he said.

India and Pakistan are leading a joint south Asian bid to stage the 2011 World Cup."

You initially said the 87 WC & 15yrs didn't you & then can you not read the tax complications, from the dawn report? How about keeping your prejudices out of this thread, since clearly the Aussies aren't on your side this time around :19:

So it wasnt 1987 but 1996 as you claimed.Thats why i asked you to substantiate it.

Next time dont lie.

Secondly Tax Matters in the court are not in BCCI's hands.Tax claims were made and thats why money was witheld.Laws you see.

I really dont think that is the case, but if it is, then BCCI must be the most incompetent and corrupt organization in the world. Actually when I think about it again that could be the case lols.

No one is defending bcci, it is more a case of haters bashing bcci about something that isn't even their fault, frankly it is nonsense news that haters have grabbed on to so as to beat bcci with it, with most of those criticizing not even having read the thread beyond the headline.

Welcome to the club...been seeing this for last 10-12 years at least!
 
Ssame usual suspects and a few new ones, defending BCCI and then denying oh no it is the other way around...we are just pointing to the haters, LOL what?

A few in this thread and one in particular will defend BCCI even if they killed someone, such is the dedication. I am seriously beginning to believe BCCI pays these people (just like some journalists are paid by several boards to write positively about them) to go defend them in whatever capacity they can. Why not, they have so much money, yet they sent 'Kachra Pickup' trucks for the luggage of one of their guest teams :-)
 
So if a slave doesn't complain you cannot bash the master?


What sort of logic is this.

Dont post nonsense if u dont know anything about bcci. Bcci accounts are blocked by sc and they will be released only when whole bcci and its organizations fully follow lodha panel reforms. Now for evey penny they have to get approval from supreme court.

The most incompetent and most corrupt organization that treats its past and present players well, doesnt beg other boards.

If bcci is what u say then what do u make of pcb
 
Some posters are so easily TRIGGERED over people criticizing the BCCI. Sad! Very thin skin! Can you believe it ?

So it is not hatred but valid criticism when people blame bcci for australians carrying their own luggage when bcci sent porters to do that job but australians themselves said they did not need porters and this whole story has got no traction either in main indian media who love digging up dirt on bcci or aussie media who would have rightly made a big deal of it if this was actually a story, but yeah why believe or rely on bcci or CA or any other respectable media houses lets all agree bcci was at fault and is responsible for this because seers on pakpassion say so.

Yes NKP Salve was denied Passes to the final.It was then decided that night that come what may the next world cup will be in India.Dalmiya was tasked with the job of arranging finances.

He managed to get $5mn from the reliance group.When the bidding time came BCCI offered 5mn as prize money while the prize money for 1983WC was £300k.With no one to match the amount the WC came to India.

ECB is the most snobbish,racist,unscrupulous,board.The way they tried to stop Dalmiya from working as ICC chief is another story.0

I have never heard of it before.... the English are pretty good hosts, etiquette and standards must always be kept. Each team is issued tickets, these guys must have turned up last minute, thinking they could waddle in.

You sir have no idea how ECB and its tailcoat holder ACB ran cricket.They treated SC teams and players like ****.

Dalmiya when he went to take charge as ICC President at the ICC office at Lords was told by the ICC CEO (some englishman)that there is no office space for the President and he need not come here.

Only for Dalmiya to reply that till he has an office room fit for his stature the entire ICC staff will report to his suite at the Dorchester Twice a day.

Colin Cowdrey the ICC President mid to early 90s refused to put to vote a proposal to host the 96 WC in Asia when it was evident that ECB will lose the vote.He put forward the condition that only if England get the 1999 WC will the 96WC proposal be allowed to put to vote.

There are many many such events.

You are right. We should learn a thing or two from australian media and fans. If these were indian/pakistani players we would have burnt vehicles, destroyed public properties and protested in front of australian embassy.

Thanks to australian media for not making it a big issue otherwise their fans also would have remembered this issue after 30 years just like some of you are doing here by bringing gavaskar.

Correct.

The thing is Pakistani players are not involved.And they will not be involved in any series in India for a long time that Pakistani fans are worried what will happen when their players tour.

The aussies have no issues at all.The Aussie media hasnt even bothered to cover this.

You are right. We should learn a thing or two from australian media and fans. If these were indian/pakistani players we would have burnt vehicles, destroyed public properties and protested in front of australian embassy.

Thanks to australian media for not making it a big issue otherwise their fans also would have remembered this issue after 30 years just like some of you are doing here by bringing gavaskar.

Yeah there is a precedent set by ind and pak fans already by doing what u mentioned isnt it?

U seem to be a fortune teller who will predict what indian and pak fans will do in the future

No no no everything ecb did is perfect and good for the game for pak fans.

Their excuse is that it is done in the past and we have to let it go and forget history

Frankly ECB were very accommodating..... it was the stupidness of pcb chief and players that soured it.

During the summer series there was lot of good will towards Pakistan.
