Absolutely hate this condescending attitude of Australians like Chappell. Your side got thrashed 3-0 by one of the weakest Sri Lankan teams in recent memory. And if you look at Australia's recent record in Asia it's just as bad. It's 9-0 if you combine all the last 3 Test series they played in Asia against India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. And after India are done with them I'm pretty sure it will atleast be 12-0.
 
Ian Chappell has really lost the plot in recent times. Poor form.
 
Ian Chappell sometimes is prone to hyperbole... He usually is a good observer of the game but also has some ingrained view points on players and keeps repeating them...
 
We toured Australia after 7 years , it almost as close to not inviting us already.
 
if that is the case, they should stop inviting WI, SL, BD and may be India too. Let them keep playing ENG/SA/NZ regularly.

WI as they havent done anything in oz for last 20 years, BD, SL and India havent won a series yet there.
 
Absolutely horrible attitude from ian chappel.aus has been white washed by every subcontinent team recently and nobody questioned their credentials as a team in asia anytime
 
And so should Australia not play even with their exposure to IPL every year!
 
Ian Chappell drivels on and on about players from the past in his commentary.

He hates anyone that doesn't agree with him.

Only one word can be set up besides Ian Chappell's comment,i.e.,nonsense.In fact these people like Chappell are in a severe delusions that Australian pitches are the true benchmark for cricket and spinning wickets are nonsporting.12-0 record in Asia proves the reason behind this delusion.Australia have become the worst travelers in Asia for quite sometimes now.They are the worst players of spin on spinning tracks.So Ian should just shut up.
 
Always had an anti Pakistan bias. He expected Australia to wipe the floor with us in the UAE and see what happened there. Plus he likes his bread buttered by the Indians. One of the reasons we do so poorly in Australia is because we don't tour their enough. During the 80's and 90's even if we didn't tour for tests we played in the tri-series that they used to have. On average we visited every 3-4 now it's every 6-7. In a career spanning close to 18 years YK only played 6 tests in Australia! Even if he played the 2010 series it would have been 9 you would expect him to play 12-15 in that time.
 
If we keep playing like this in future others will say the same and top 3-4 test nations will not invite us anymore. PCB should have some shame and take necessary steps to improve our standards which is unlikely
 
Ian Chappel talking like a class topper after getting 95 in one paper but forgetting the fact that he failed in 3 out of 8 papers and the ONLY reason he didn't fail in the 4th paper was because exam was cancelled.

He and his brothers are hated by the Indians we obviously prefer Sachin and Ganguly over the Chappells
 
Tbf, he does have a point. Maybe that'll force some necessary changes!
 
What you gonna do Ian? Call Pakistan after 16 years instead of 8? :yk
 
I disagree with him, but I don't mind the fact that this is a conversation point.
 
Instead of discussing how much he hates us, can we discuss whether his points have any merit. I mean we haven't won a test in Australia in over 17 years, so for Australian public we are minnows for them in Australia.

What should we do to change this? Perhaps take inspiration from these comments and fight back in the ODI series so that Australian public remembers this as a series of the decade. Go out all guns blazing, with a positive attitude and try to win. It seems we have a mental block against Australia, so perhaps instead of focussing on what Chappel said, we focus on the score line and try to improve it.

What Australia has done in Asia has nothing to do with how we have performed in Australia. These are two different topics and should be treated as such!

International cricket doesn't work like that

As many have pointed out this same reasoning will preclude Australia visiting any sub continental destination

You cannot unilaterally apply such sanctions against any country
 
I suspect this might be taken in a wrong way but pundits like Boycott and Chapell are very unforgiving but less biased I would say. Whilst there is definitely a degree of bias with both of them, they generally appreciate good cricket regardless of the opposition and hit hard on bad cricket regardless of who is playing it. The thing with these old cricketers like Boycott, Willis and Chappell is that they don't do this political correct BS. They call it out as they see which can rub many people in the wrong way.

I may be wrong here, but I suspect Chappelli's comment is to a certain degree because he cares about Pakistan cricket. He could've been like the rest of the channel 9 commentators guffawing and swooning over how the talented Australian team swept another side with ease during the Australian summer again. The fact that he criticises the Pakistani performance in the series is because he probably feels Pakistan is too big a team to have such a record in the last 2 decades in Australia and let's be honest, for a side with the passion and glorious history like Pakistan, their record in Australia in the last 20 years is shockingly poor (and I'm saying it without a tinge of schadenfreude).

I think the criticism is harsh but I don't think it's condescending in any way. I've seen the rest of the channel nine commies having a condescending attitude towards visiting teams but not Chapell. I've always seen himself as someone who appreciates and cares about good cricket more than being just another blind jingoist. Think his comment shouldn't be taken literally and should be more about the point he's making. My two cents..

Ian Chappell rubbing salt into Pak wounds. He does make a fair point but then Australia perhaps should also not visit Asia/UAE unless they learn how to play well in those conditions

Their most recent record in India (0-4), Sri Lanka (0-3) and UAE (0-2 vs Pak) combined is 0-9
 
His comments were discussed in this thread - http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/s...stop-inviting-Pakistan-for-summer-tours/page2

I'll repeat what I said there.

Firstly, I'm readily accepting of the fact Pakistan have been atrocious in Australia in recent years. Its a truly awful record. But aren't the double standards interesting ? When an Asian team fails outside Asia - they need to restructure their entire cricket system and cannot be rated as a good side.

If a Western team loses in Asia, which they have more often than not recently, ah what you gonna do. I guess they're the better side "in THESE conditions" and you know what the Asians are like, they must've doctored the pitches. It smacks of a superiority complex and too many Asian fans buy into it.

And anyway what kind of logic is this ? England have been beaten 5-0 in two out of their last three tours of Australia - should you stop inviting England for tours ? Ah no, because you want the $$$ for the Ashes so that's OK. Should Asian teams stop inviting Australia since they've lost 9 out of their last 9 Tests in Asia ? See where this ends up.

Chappelli should be pensioned off anyway, seems to be losing his marbles especially after that Rabada village comment.
 
Ian Chappell is quite possibly the worst commentator there is out there. All he does is complain and complain and complain. He's never happy with any field settings, never happy with the bowlers and never happy with the opposition team.
 
Instead Chappell should say Aus should not play in Asia (0-2,0-4 and 0-3) in last three series against asian opponents till they learn how to play spin. For God's sake most of the players did not play in australia in their life time while all most all the aussi regularly played in India and the first sign of spin they crumble. Pakistan could have won Brisben, should draw Melbourne but I did not saw anything of aus opening (except first SL innings). Someone should remind Chappel to concentrate in Aussi team because I am expecting another whitewash probably worse than last one
 
Australia shuldn't play in U.A.E, srilanka and India unless they Improve....
 
I believe we should worry about this which we can control, which is improve the quality of our cricket rather than worrying about anti-pak bias or Australia's horrid performances in Asia. That is not going to help us.

Ian Chappel is not talking about sanctions but perhaps a better effort from Pakistan to give the crowd a value for their money.

So Have we performed to our potential? No
Can we do better? Yes
Should we treat these comments as Derogatory? Perhaps, Ian could have chosen better words, but he is right about the quality of our cricket that we have played on Australian grounds. It needs to improve, otherwise we don't deserve people spending money to watch us play.

My 2 cents! :)
 
When Aus loses in Asia he'll say we aren't good 'in these conditions'.
 
Clearly, Ian Chappell is biased. Going by his logic, none of the Asian teams should tour Australia. I don't see India, Sri Lanka or Bangladesh beating Australia in Australia.

It isn't about winning, but being at least a little competitive.
 
Age is catching up ChappellI - he is 73 now. Otherwise, for a street fighter like Ian would have never exposed his back side like this to be ripped through left, right & centre. Aussies has lost cool 7-0 in last 7 Test in IND, last 6 after winning toss & 3 times IND batting once. They have lost to SRL 3-0 & what Misbah's team did to them in UAE, if by their own admission - "humiliating embarrassment". Asian sides are almost unbeatable at home, while recently Aussies has lost to SAF at home as well.
[MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] - can you please tweet him, part of my post? Because, after Aussies's tour of IND ends, he might close his tweeter account.

I understand your point, but it's valid only if there is a fair exchange.

After IND lost 4-0 in AUS & ENG, some of the articles & comments by their media wasn't that polished, neither Ian Botham after UAE Series - now same Pom media is not that vocal after 4-0 in IND. Long back, AUS lost 3-0 in PAK & Imran's side batted 3 times (& 3 overs once in 2nd innings) - AUS/ENG media brought everything in it - from Umpiring to crowd disturbance.

I give you a classic example - Ashwin, Kumble, Qadir & Yasir are criticized/questioned for their performance in AUS - Great Deniss K Lille averages 100+ for his 3 wickets in 3 Test in PAK, Wisden put him as 6th greatest cricketer in history - ahead of even Imran; just in bowling, who has better stats playing in similar era.

Time has changed - without Asian market, in near future these Countries won't be able to manage their cricket; these oldies have to understand that & behave themselves properly. After BD tour, I could have responded some of the earlier comments of some English posters here, but Ian Chappell is not posting at PP.

I watched a little bit of the Aus-Pak series and whenever Chappell was in the commie box with Warne, I observed that Chappell was very much irked by the fitness and fielding standards of Pak fielders as well as batsmen.

Observed many times when Chappell was criticizing Pak batsmen for not running hard enough to get the extra run. Pak batsmen were content to run only 2 runs when 3 runs were easily available.

TBH, Pak has to the worst side when it comes to fitness and stamina.
 
Only way Pak is going to improve is by touring Australia. Typical Aussie arrogance at work.

True, but that's not the last word. I can say that at least 5/6 times, I have seen AUS pacers breaking down in Asian condition. When you are commenting, as an expert you should escalate those issues, but as I said, it has to be a fair exchange.

This should be the reason why he made that comment. Even Bangladesh has certain standards when it comes to fitness and fielding. But Pak players' body language sometimes gets really poor. It puts off anyone watching the match.
 
While I agree that not getting invited to play at all is a bit extreme, folks need to realize that no team, including Pakistan, is entitled to getting all these tours if they keep failing. We all need to earn these things.

Take India's case for example. Lost 2-3 in 1978-79 (to an Aussie side depleted by Packer's circus), and drew 1-1 in 1981 and 0-0 in 1985-86. All very respectable so far. But then were thrashed 0-4 in a 5-Test series in 1991-92. So were not invited back for full 8 years till 1999-2000.

2003 onward India have been reasonably respectable (though still haven't won a series).

I also disagree with those who are somehow equating Pak's 0-12 record "earned" over 20 years to Australia's 0-9 in Asia "earned" over last 2-3 years. Former would be seen as persistent failure while Aus' current failure in Asia can be explained by saying that the new generation of players are still learning their chops in Asian conditions.

I'd just add one more example. Bangladesh earned their Test status 15 years ago, and were not invited to play in India all these years. They're finally getting their first tour this year.

Unfortunately the facts speak for themselves, the Pakistani team did not provide their money's worth to the Australian public, considering this was a really weak Australian team coming from a series defeat against South Africa, they should have provided a better account for themselves.
 
And Australia should stay away from UAE, India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Nothing against Chappell personally, I think he's a good analyst of the game. But this kind of opinion isn't practical or reasonable.
 
Chappel sahib is right on some issues. While overall I don't agree. His views on Misbah defensive tactics is spot on. Misbah is a clueless captain. Pak need a young aggressive captain who can inspire whole side
 
Regardless of who supports who ..

Someone should ask Chappell very simple questions:

Should Australia continue to tour India
Or
UAE
Or
Sri Lanka
???

Absolutely preposterous comment .. and for me the fact that this thread is so long and is being commented on is equally as ridiculous
 
Well this is just Ian Chappell continuing to throw punches even when we are completely knocked out. Low blow I would say but to be fair Pakistan have not even competed in these tests which is why I am sort of willing to accept this statement. There was no fight or hunger to do anything. It is a first I would say under Misbah.

Not winning is not an issue. Losing every single test is an issue in this period.

Having said that, who Aus is going to play then? Cricket is anyway not played by too many teams. WI played 4 tests recently in Aus ?? If Wi can play then any team can play. Aus themselves need to do better in different conditions.

Agree here. It's not the same situation. Aus has actually won many tests and even series in this 17 years period in Asia.

But comment is not well thought one. Aus has been very poor in Asian venues in the last few years so it's funny to hear that Pakistan shouldn't be invited to Aus due to losing every test.

To be fair to Pakistan, we don't play in Australia often, this was our first tour in 6-7 years. We on average tour after 5 years and a lot of times we tour with mostly new personnel. If they want us to improve, they need to invite us more often and more frequently.

And we beat a star studded Australian team in their own backyard in 2002 and our performances tend to improve later on in tours which proves the longer the players spend time in Australia, the more they aclimitize and get used to the conditions and the bowling attack.

In future the PCB needs to arrive in Australia a month or even 6 weeks in Advance, hold a training camp in Australia, play 2-3 practice games, even insist on the T-20's and ODI series to be played before the test matches so that by the time the test matches arrive, the batsmen, bowlers and fielders have all had sufficient time to adjust to the local conditions.

Disagree.

TV ratings were very high by all accounts.
All matches went into 5 days (one rain affected tbf)
Two matches were hardly hammerings, first one could've been greatest chase in history second one Aussies won from a difficult position where a draw seemed inevitable.
Aussies got to see their batsmen feast on flat pitches and the flaws in their batting were again papered over by said flat pitches, also helped by bad bowling.

End of the day all this talk of competitiveness is totally irrelevant and dumb. If Australia hosting Mongolia made big money despite every test ending in a session they'd still host them time and time again. Only thing that matters to administrators is money. If Pakistan made cash they'll be back again soon, whereas if Pakistan made a loss even if they whitewashed the Aussies it'd be a while before they returned.
 
Pakistani fans should be appalled at their team losing 3-0 for the fourth time in a row instead of sniping at Chappell , who was just engaging in a bit of hyperbole.The least Pakistan should've done was work on the controllables like fitness and stamina.
It was an embarrassing tour !
 
I actually agree with him. No point going to a country every few years and being whitewashed every single time. I would prefer if out future tours to Australia were replaced by tours to England and New Zealand.

Pakistan just has a mental block against the Aussies and time is the one thing that will erase this. Take a good 8-10 year break and then come back with a new team that does not have any experience of getting thrashed down under, with at least a month of acclimatizing to the conditions.
 
And South Africa shouldn't play in Australia, unless Australia improves.

What a stupid comment, used to give thoughtful analysis now seems like headline grabbing.
 
Pathetic comments.

We'd literally beat these folks black and blue if a series in the UAE between the two sides commenced tomorrow - with Misbah as captain.
 
I don't think Chappel is anti-Pakistan but seems more frustrated by some of the woeful play by Pakistan. Obviously the words could have been chosen more wisely but Pakistan will continue to tour Australia every 4/5/6 years but may get the early summer test matches making it even more difficult to win there.
 
Lol

someone remind him of the recent SL tour, probably has a good 22 excuses for that though.
 
Don't worry , Australia will never stop inviting Pakistan, their players also need good stats, Pakistan is the best visiting team for Australia from that perspective.

One could further extend Chappell's logic and say that as Australia has lost their last two home series against SA, they should stop playing in Australia :)
 
I think this tour will have its repercussions , may be when we tour Australia again in 2024 we will be given only 2 test matches. This was the worst bowling performance by Pakistan in Australia. The very highly rated Yasir shah has been completely exposed in the unhelpful conditions. At Sydney where he was supposed to do well , sarfraz didn't help much.

Is he still relevant this guy? I agree with some of the people above that all he does is complain too much, whereas i dont disagree with some of the comments he has made, i think he ALWAYS goes OTT, not just against pakistan but against any team. I find this guy unbearable at times.
 
Pathetic comments by Ian. They really can be extremely condescending at times. There's a good chance that OZ will get smashed 4-0 in India so should we stop inviting them? When was the last time OZ even won a test match in India? Atleast we drew two tests Down Under the last time we toured. OZ will be extremely lucky if they can pull off two draws later this year.
 
Being a Pakistan supporters i hope India thrash Australia in all 4 tests and then ask Chappell Australia should not be invited to play in Asia.... Come on India my prayers are with you to give a good thrashing to the Aussies

Except for SA in recent times, no side has had a good time bowling in Australia. Not even SA in their last tour to Aus. NZ also had one good performance due to first ever D/N test.

I think you guys and Chappel are reading too much into this 3-0 loss.

Ideally Pakistan shouldn't have lost at Brisbane, it would have been a draw if they put up a good total in 1st innings, similarly SCG should have been a draw.

Your batting let you down in 2 innings, to concede it 3-0 instead of 1-0. There is no doubt though that Aus were superior side to Pak given the conditions.

The quality of guests never seem to suit the quality of the show. Nauman Niaz is boring as a host and his tendency to sometimes talk to the Pakistani pundits in Urdu while the foreign guests stare at the ceiling is also cringe-worthy to look at.

Didn't Misbah respond to Chappel by saying that we tour after every 6-7 years, by the time the tour is over the players get used to the conditions but it is too late to turn things around?

Australia on the other hand keep touring India frequently after 1-2 years, their players get exposure to the IPL. What excuses do they have for such a dismal record in India?

Yes you are right in your assesment but Dr Nauman has his Pro's aswell as Con's whereby his Con's are quite annoying but overall Pro's outweigh the Con's


Rashid Latif, Viv Richards, Brian Charles Lara & Ian Chappel will be the Experts.
 
The set is amazing plus the Guests are top notch players and analysts.

I never imagined that one day PTV would literally host Channel 9 experts as their guests !! Feels quite awesome tbh.....
