Pakistan’s home series against India, surely PCB won’t consider UAE as home venue?

[Rana]

Guys, seriously! What if ICC, India and Pakistan come to an agreement of hosting bilateral series between the countries, where would Pakistan want to host their matches? No way can we host them in the UAE! Their fans will sabotage each stadium, they will not give Pakistan a chance to dominate whatsoever! You can’t even produce swing friendly tracks here in the desert.

Seriously guys, we need to say goodbye to the UAE and draw them out somewhere else where we actually have ‘home advantage’. This is just ridiculous, UAE is a disastrous place for Pakistan at least in white ball cricket. And they will match us with all tools in the Tests also!

Bud, you need to calm down. I can hear you through the screen...

 

[dhonixi]

Who will bat for you if you produce swing friendly tracks?

 

[Rana]

Erm, Azhar, Shafiq and Harris Sohail in tests. They can bat!

This is like counting the chickens before they hatch.

I guess the OP decided to go the Arindham Choudary way.

 

[Bhaijaan]

As a kid i remember huge support for Pakistan in Sharjah but now i am beginning to understand this whole Hindu India vs Pakistan as ambassador of muslims in cricket thing. Ever since Bangladesh and Afghans emerged a lot of non pakistani muslims seem to have lost the desire to back Pakistan against India. This Asia Cup has been an eye opener. Pakistanis were a minority in most games its shocking and you may be right IPL was sold out here a lot of fanbase for this Indian team.

PCB should stop attempting suicide by bugging BCCI. Imagine if they get annoyed by the constant pestering and say yes.

I don't have the stomach to witness India slaughter us across all three formats. This humiliation was enough till June 16.

Don’t you think BCCI sees the revenue they can generate in the UAE? They will say yes ofc, this is a business for them. If the series suits them financially they will say yes. They may decide to host the series or share some of the funds if they could and they could easily lure Pakistan as the team to bang in the desert.

I am sure BCCI does not mind picking up easy wins against Pakistan every year, but they cannot agree to bilateral ties unless they get approval by the Government of India.

Tell me one thing, why would this government not want to give their country the humiliation of Pakistan as a gift?

Also, they have a serious following in the UAE that deserves to be honoured as well. Anyways. UAE is a no no for me!

Cos there are bigger issues my friend.

No way GOI is granting them permission.

No way.

Cricket is not a top priority for a government.

 

[Plumb]

Yes we should play Ind plus better team more often. I hope not to see another SL/Zim/WI series for next 2 years...( I know I am dreaming)

Relation between two nation isn't really good and till it don't improve i doubt it will accepted by most people or government.

The Government of India is the problem. BCCI agreeing does not matter as long as Government doesn't give the permission.

Be thankful you are not playing India in swing friendly conditions or the Pakistani batsmen will struggle to reach double figure against this Indian fast bowling attack!

hahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahhahaha

This coming from the side who couldnt score a run against Anderson and Broad besides Kohli

hahahhhhahahahahahhahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahha

 

[pillionrider]

But I thought India were scared of playing Pak in the desert

 

[MP2011]

hahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahhahaha

hahahhhhahahahahahhahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahha

But who told you that Pakistan pacers are anywhere near Broaderson?

 

[Hasan2K8]

Bud, you need to calm down. I can hear you through the screen...

Lol. This cracked me up, somewhat!

 

[Hasan2K8]

Op. So where will you play home games then?

 

[BlackShadow]

hahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahhahaha

hahahhhhahahahahahhahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahha

Thankfully, Broad and Anderson don't represent the trundle-brigade in green.

 

[Jabo]

India would always have had the advantage in the UAE

 

[Canford Cliffs]

Ofcourse an Indo-Pak series wont be in Eng unless PCB willing to spend lots. So it will be somewhere in Asia and India will start as huge favourite everytime (in all 3 formats). If Ind and Pak played regularly, that H2H record would be in India's favor now

 

[Rana]

They represent much worse in seaming conditions. I give it to you guys for outplaying us on UAE tracks, we should have been better suited here. But don’t get too confident, we all remember how your batting stalwarts have folded like a pack of cards when the ball swings just about a millimetre and bounces slightly more than an inch that it does in the sub continent

 

[Rana]

Op. So where will you play home games then?

It has to be England and even there Pakistan will not have home advantage due to the overwhelming numbers India can produce through their fans.

Last resort is Norway, it would be a miracle if Pakistan gets outnumbered here....but how in the world is anyone going to organise a series between India and Pakistan here lol

What so what does that make your batsman who can't play a straight ball?

 

[Rana]

They were rubbish, useless and below par in this tournament. At least we admit that. They were over confident in the first match and had lost their confidence by the second match. The problem wasnt even the batting as much as the ability to build pressure with the ball, which was clearly so evident.

 

[Bangalorean]

Self goal, instead of seeing negatives from Top ranked team Ind, will be better if OP shares some constuctive ideas to bring back glory days of 90's Pak team!

Thats besides the point. India would beat England and Australia, South Africa also 5-0 at home. They know what to do and what type of pitches to prepare at home. Pakistan have gloriously failed with home advantage in the UAE. It is so evident that the worst brand of cricket that we play is in the UAE. So Pakistan must look for a venue that would actually benefit them instead of stalling their cricket. Pakistan have actually displayed a very high skill levelled performance in 3-5 Tests since 2016 in England against a solid Test side away from home.To bring back the glory days of the 90s as you say requires batsman good enough to put up a defendable score, not a huge score but certainly a defendable one. Secondly, you need to have Indian fast bowlers bowling out of their comfort zones and not allowed to build pressure all the time on these batsmen.

The joke is on you

No its not, sorry to remind you but one month ago Kohli was carrying your batsmen who were being trundled by little left arm Curran. Still I suggest humility is the best way forward and lets admit that you sucked in England and we sucked in the UAE within the space of a month.

Hopefully we have a good match in May

If you want to compare Test cricket with ODI, and that too a test in England against ODI played against Afghanistan and Bangladesh and Pakistani struggling against them, well good luck to you I guess there's not much you can console yourself with so cursing India is the easiest that comes to you CHeers

What a contradictory statement. You guys lost to Afghanistan or drew to them whatever you want to call it. You thumped Bangladesh which is expected. As I said, we dont disagree that we performed well below our standards in this tournament. I dont even see the point of you arguing with me in this thread, I know i hit a nerve when I wrote that we need swinging conditions, but thats a fact and it will haunt you forever. Pakistan definetly have batsmen in their Test ranks that are far more suited to deal with swinging conditions as compared to India bar Kohli, and he too is an ATG otherwise the rest of them are a pack of sitting ducks waiting to be caught behind on in the slips

Lol.The level of delusion is strong here.Dude, your test batsmen could not even handle Sri Lankan trundlers how do you think they will handle ours? You have only one decent Test batsman in Azhar Ali and rest all are like Babar Azam who averages less than Jadeja.
Your pathetic team will lose by innings against us no matter where the match is.

 

[Rana]

I’m sure there will be guys who will prove this right.

India in England 4-1 loss

Pakistan 6 tests in England 3-3

So who is better equipped to face a team like England in such conditions?

You guys are flying high right now after 2 matches. Proper giving it large, recent memory of being wiped the floor with by England seems to have evaded your fans. Pakistan can probably call on it’s 6th, 7th choice seamers on such tracks to run through India’s batting line up in England or South Africa.

Mohammad Abbas, Rumman Raees and Rahat Ali will hardly get a chance in ODI cricket but they’ve will expose the conditions well in Seaming tracks

Who are they?The current lot were treating Bhuvi and tired Bumrah like Malcom Marshall and Mike Holding...You guys will be wiped out in Australia (All innings defeat) if this is how you are going to play against them.First it was music and movies followed by cricket and hockey which too is a dying sport in Pakistan...

 

[Minnowbasher]

Play in England. We always win here.

Hypothesis, too many if and buts, no real evidence that Pak can beat Ind test team anywhere in the world IMO

 

[latecut]

Such a series is not going to happen, so why waste your time discussing this hypothetical situation.
