I have to admit that even by standards of Indo-Pak irrational hatred, what I have been reading in the Indian press makes me look for the puke bucket!

The manner in which they have gone to look for negativity from the whole Independence Cup makes you wonder what they have been watching!

Its almost as they are disappointed that something vile did not happen during the series!

I am so glad that our Indian PPers are much level headed than these people but I am saddened that the Indian press would rather see Pakistan cricket suffer than anything else.


They dont have to be our cheerleaders but a little encouragement for Asian cricket would have been nice.
 
The Asian bloc probably ended with Dalmiya, tbf some sites has been genuinely good with it and they are managed by Indians as well.
 
Indian Express and Hindustan times are one of the most 'Anti Indian' news portals in India btw along with NDTV.
Just saying.
 
@OP Maybe you should stop going out of your way to find negativity.
 
They are not anti Indian in fact they are the only media channels which shows some news without bias.
 
I have seen loads of positive articles in the Indian media about the game. In fact people were talking about the game even the next day.
 
There is no surprise in it Indian media don.t like anything positive about pak
 
Also saw some Facebook posts saying that Faf, Amla, Miller, etc should not be allowed to play IPL because they visited Pakistan 😂

There are far worse stuff said on Facebook than that. I'm not going to go into details but never take any Facebook post seriously or u will have a very warped view of things
 
I watched a clip from an indian show and they were fuming over this series , that show even had some ex cricketers. I find it baffling that for some quarters hate has gotten to point where they can't tolerate anything positive happening in Pakistan even if it dosent hurt them in anyway . Sad.

You don't really have to go out of your way to find stuff like this. Majority of the reactions by Indians at least on digital and social media has been extremely negative.

same is the case with some Pakistani media towards India. I saw Pakistani media outlets were linking spot fixing/gambling issues towards recent IPL deal. Apart from cricket, some media were taking a dig at India's new bullet train project. So, if you guys think its just Indian media that is bitter than you're mistaken.
Again it is completely natural to expect some media in India/Pakistan to be bitter against each other.

OP is being selective and ignoring the fact that bitterness is mutual.

Absolutely it is mutual and nobody has a leg to stand on their high horses.
 

Thats all factual.

There is a part which hopes for the best. That is missing. obviously.

And then there is the taking anything like 2 loser tweets directed at Faf du Plessis in response to his tweet about arriving home safe - a whole article made to try and portray Pakistanis as ingrates.

This is the low type of reporting that Indian media (sections of) have stooped to.

Schadenfreude.

I think there is overall a mix bag in India with some actually quite pleased with the series while others very negative about it. At the end of the day India has a huge population so to judge Indians over a few articles is wrong.

I'm sure Pakistani articles wouldn't shy away from doing the same if India was in pakistans situation. Never take the media seriously. All media has some level of bias.

This.

There are are good and bad apples on both sides [MENTION=93712]MenInG[/MENTION], there are enough media outlets in Pakistan that make fun of anything India does.
Such posts only create further negativity.
 
For cricket lovers sadpart is no broadcaster in India telecast Pak vs WXl matches not even tensports ; same thing happened during Rio Olympics when starsports not shown lord's test match bwt Eng & Pak
 
Whole world wants Pakistan cricket to prosper (except India).


In logon ki to niyyat hi kharab hai : These people (Indians) possess impure intentions as far as future of Pak cricket is concerned.

And no need to read their pseudo-news articles. Just watch their actions/behaviors, don't read their bogus words...

Hate and negativity keeps us engaged and interested in each other what's the problem atleast we give attention to each other 😀

No, we (PCB's random chairmen) have asked BCCI a gazillion of times to play us in UAE etc. It's them who have 'hidden' agendas. Not us.

You are making an issue out of nothing now. News sites are supposed to report factual information. They are not supposed to write "we hope that everything goes well" as if it is an opinion piece.
 
look guys lets not make something out of nothing. i mean they just want the best for us..afterall they are our firends and have no real ill will towards us. We should thank them for the immense support they've given us over the last few years.

Not quite sure this is right. Yes lots of things wrong with Pak and on certain channels you will get a lot of negative coverage like on ARY. But the largest news channel in Pakistan since the media was liberalized - Geo (Jang group) - is famously pro-Indian, running long standing campaigns like 'Aman ki asha' etc. Even though the rumour is that this is because Jang gets money from RAW. Lol.

'Factual information' such as picking up a tweet from a nobody and saying 'Angry Pakistani fans target Faf'.... and plus the tweet didn't actually target Faf - so that's that.

Anyway this new media trend of picking up random tweets or posts on social media (speaking in a general sense, not just this case) for an article reeks of poor journalism. Can't believe some of the 'material' being put out there nowadays.

Indian newspapers have always been anti-Pakistan, even the more "liberal" of those do not miss an opportunity to bash Pakistan in their editorials/opinion pieces whenever I've stumbled upon them.

They're in total contrast to Pakistani ones, where I've never noticed anti-India sentiment or purposefully sensalizing headlines to malign their Easter neighbour, Even during LOC breaches and political verbal attacks by Indian politicians, our newspapers have largely reported responsibly and maturely.

Maturity and tolerance are some of the things lacking in many of our Indian media persons, especially with respect to Pakistan. Its beyond stupid that they always portray us as total enemies and what not

I do not get why so many fans are getting worked out over what media of other country reacts. Give me a valid reason as to why would it matter to Pakistan as a nation and its people? I mean its an enemy nation so its natural to expect them to print/post rubbish in order to sell. Pro-Pakistan is just gonna bankrupt them so why would they do it?
Just ignore and move on. There is nothing Pakistan can do about it.
 
Print media in India is generally much more rational compared to what we get to see on TV.

The most biased media in the world and that is being very sedate.Covering the eventa in day to day lives to sports.
 
OP unnecessary trying to drag in Bcci and India. Both heading are correct. Richhardson congratulated Pakistan in successful hosting it world XI but he also said '......The ICC chief said the resumption of full-time international cricket in Pakistan is not going to be an “overnight miracle”.

“It has to take time. The PSL final was the first step, this is the second. We have now shown that events can be staged in one city over a short period of time in a Twenty20 format. Now, the next steps have to be taken, meaning can they be rolled out in more than one city over a longer period of time..”

In other words Indian media just quoted what Richardson said. Nothing controversial about it.

Lets try this

Using your keyboard skills search for word BCCI in post #1

Next, ask why would an Indian media source pick on the negative side of news?
 
This is not even news to me, An Indian Run Cricket Website did some polling on their website asking a simple question.

'Should Cricket Return to Pakistan?'

85% of the voters out of more than a 100,000 of them voted no :)) :)) - Lol they are the enemy (What were you expecting [MENTION=93712]MenInG[/MENTION] bhai ??)

Not making a comment on anything else, but their job is to report the facts

no but they are our friends..I mean they have always wanted whats best for us..havent they??

On a serious note, people should not be surprised. Have we learnt nothing in the last ten years? They have taken every opportunity to hurt cricket in Pakistan. Now that we are taking these first baby steps to bring it back they are still burning. I mean in the last ten years they have become a cricket powerhouse and yet their insecurities manifest when Pakistan begins to do well..Why??
 
And then there is genuine heartfelt reaction
