Could this be the real reason BCCI refuses to play against Pakistan?

[Rahul1]

^^^Like India should be scared of playing Kenya after being the only team to have lost two ODI's to them, that's right 2!

Can you say that louder? Tough to hear what a number 7th ranked team's fan has to say while sitting at number one ranking.

^^^Like India should be scared of playing Kenya after being the only team to have lost two ODI's to them, that's right 2!

Seems like you are ridiculing your own logic while creating this thread.

Exactly !! And BTW Pakistan is the only top team to have lost a home Test Series to Zimbabwe ... and even recently have lost many a Test matches to WI, Zim and SL ... some team that we are afraid to play )

You must be the last one to talk about India's record against Kenya. Your team lost a test to Zimbabwe in this decade. Recently got whitewashed by SL at home. Lost TWO test matches to WI. All happened in this decade and that too in TEST where upset happens very rarely. SL and Windies are some of the poorest test teams, especially away from their home and punching bag for top teams.

Likewise India is quite willing to Play Pakistan if they stop killing our people and work towards a pleasant relationship .... I wonder why its so hard for Pakistan to NOT stop killing ? Perhaps they are afraid of much more humiliation in Cricket if relations normalized given the horrible state of Pakistan Cricket ?

Any chance of answering why England is afraid of Zimbabwe ?

Maybe they are afraid of Zimbabwe? How long have they been avoiding playing a series?

 

[Tusker]

About 15+ years .... so yeah going by your great logic Eng the No.1 team is afraid of losing to Zimbabwe the No.10 team ... right?

 

[squarecut]

England is not playing Zimbabwe for ages. May be Zimbabwe fans are also claiming that England are afraid of losing to them. But no one is listening.

Same will happen here. BCCI will not play PCB in bilateral series. Pakistan cricket fans may cry as much as they can in this forum and elsewhere, but that will not change anything.

My friend the signs are very clear you are getting desperate and now trying to hide behind self made conspiracy theory. There is no where to hide, this thread has clearly logically and rationally and systematically broken down to you the reason why BCCI and Indian govt do not want this series to take place.

Sorry my friend but I have not seen one logical reason in this thread nor any thread on why India is afraid to lose to Pakistan so therefore they don't want to play Pakistan.

All I am seeing is some cooked up conspiracy theories which are quite honestly pathetic.

 

[jadaja]

But Pakistan is quite willing to play BD on their own turf and in BD as far as I am aware, if they would prefer BD to come to Pakistan that is hardly indicative that they are frightened of losing. Problem with India refusing to play Pakistan except when they are forced to, is that you can't really dismiss the idea that they may well be frightened of losing. When you refuse to meet an opponent on the field of battle, then it becomes difficult to dismiss the accusation of fear.

Why should BD tour Pakistan when no one else is ready to tour them and no Pakistan is not ready to play BD in BD.So in PCB/Fans eyes BD players lives matter less than their white counterparts what kind of double standard is that and it is insulting to whole nation.

Clearly you have not bothered reading any responses that have been posted, being repetitive is not in my nature so i will not type out another post sating why BBCI and Indian Govt. don't want this, i would advice you to scroll back maybe even go a page back and with an open and honest heart read what people have posted, there is no shame in admitting the BCCI and Indian Govt stance on the matter, we are not saying or suggesting that this is a reflection on the Indian public or players I am sure they would love to see the two play, however your board and Govt look at things differently.

I did try to look back on reasons and I just don't see any valid arguments on why India/BCCI should oblige PCB/Pakistan .

 

[squarecut]

India is not afraid to lose against any other team, as can be seen from the fact that they play against every other team including touring those countries as well.

Pakistanis may be obsessed with India, but that is not the case with Indians. They have moved on in life and they have better things to think about that being obsessed with Pakistan.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Nice baiting and troll thread by the OP, we all know the real reason is political... BCCI is all about making money and nothing more, India vs Pak match will create huge cash flow however Indian Government says NO!!!..

The main reason would be for the good of the game itself. If you can imagine England refusing to play Australia and cancelling the Ashes, then you should be able to understand why a sport which doesn't have that many nations of the world participating, needs every rivalry it can get.

India's rivalry against Australia in last 30 years has been much more interesting from everyone's stand point.

India's matches against Pakistan have been dull affairs especially test cricket.Other than 1999 series tell me which series was riveting, where as almost every test series against Australia have been very good except couple .

While I understand this series is good for the game in the region but other factors outweigh the game in my view.Those hurdles have to be cleared first in order to have the games in my view.PCB's outlook towards series has not gained any sympathizers either.

If BCCI are not interested despite its money making opportunities, it shows that BCCI and Indians are not interested in making money by playing cricket with Pakistan. If Pakistan are so desperate to play against India, let them address the root cause. Else forget cricket with India and learn to live within your resources instead of eyeing Indian money.

Australia doesn't have a rivalry with India except in maybe some Indian minds. For aussies it's just another test series.

It is the same with India vs Pakistan as well. Just replace Australia with India and India with Pakistan in your comment.

Oh really that is why Justin Langer said winning in India is ultimate in his first press conference as new head coach.

Pakistani India test matches not only bore where playing good cricket is last thing on players minds.India Australia rivalry is far more enthralling.

PCB/fans need to face the facts.

Winning in India is a big challenge because India provides dust bowls for their spinners so a win there is a hard ask. It's nothing to do with rivalry, all white countries find that a big challenge, much in the same way Asians find Australian or English pitches a challenge. Look at Kohli's average in England if you doubt it.

Rivalry without interesting matches is boring, India's matches both at home and away against Australia have been the most riveting matches.

Kohli has one bad series which any batsmen in world can have and you are talking as if he has never done anything outside India.He had been best batsmen from both sides on much more hard surfaces in SA.

Interesting matches don't make a rivalry, that is the point I am making. You might think it's one, but Australians don't.

what you think unfortunately does not matter, Aussies in present and past think it is rivalry that's all matters and TV ratings from both countries show that it matters.

Who told you this...Macgrath or Warne

 

[jadaja]

Men if you read this thread you will think this Indian team is west indies 80s or australia's 90s, 00s team haha delusional.
On topic hope this idiot sethi stops beggin series with india.

No Indian fan is delusional enough to think that Indian teams present or past are/were good enough to be even on same ballpark as those great teams.

All they would be saying is playing Pakistan is not a big deal at all. There are more important and interesting series.

 

[kuskash]

Pakistan doesn't need rivals who have their chaddis pulled down 180 times in a final.

I would think such a strong Pak team would have amazing records against India in WC too, didn't India pulled Pak's mini skirt everytime they met in WC?

 

[jadaja]

One swallow does not make a summer for those who keep quoting CT finals.

Just because Pakistan won CT finals it does not make it a great team or even a good team. India has been beating Pakistan in world cups for decades.

Yes. India beat Pakistan in competitive games. Pakistan thrashed the living daylights out of India on that day. It never looked like a contest for all of 80 odd overs of the match. For Indian fans to act high and mighty after such a humbling is astonishing.

No Pakistani believes the CT final makes us a great team. But we don't like shodaybaazi, specially from the fans of a team who was on the receiving end of one of the most emphatic phainties of all time in a tourney final.

That same team was beaten a week before by the same margin.When you have momentum and stars completely on your side such days happen.They dont indicate much except that you had all things fall into place for a day.

If you check even Bangladesh beat India by similar margin in 2007 world cup.That is no indication of the strength of the teams.

Well it's great that Indians still think Pakistan is important enough to join up on a Pakistani message board to tell us how important their rivalry with Australia is. At least your neighbours can help you in this regard so we should celebrate that.

Pakistan will always be a rival to India in cricket.Beating Pakistan will give India joy but that does not mean other rivalries are less. Guys like Akram and Javed are admired a lot in India. Personally Inzi is my favorite non Indian cricketer.

I really hope situation gets better in the region and they resume bilateral ties.

 

[Mamoon]

I think this is some smashing insight by the OP, who has never failed to remind us of his love for Indian cricket.

It will certainly be very humiliating for the number one ranked side to lose to a Pakistan team that is sweating and fretting to win against Ireland.

BCCI have clearly been very smart about this. Don't play against Pakistan; avoid the embarrassment.
