Pakistan's tour of Zimbabwe postponed [Update Post#101]

[BDwarriors]

& With due respect, we owe ZCB only 3 ODIs & 2 T20s, which we can play any time after 30th September & PCB has also promised a full fledge tour next year with 3 tests.

PAK can play any time. but we know all PAK must have had play it within 30 sep were they lost SL series.

Ever since BD beat PAK 3-0, I think few things has changed in cricket world - most prominent one is that PP has become TP (Troll Passion) which is totally uncalled for. For every issues the way BD team or BCB is brought is just not good taste.

I think, I wrote several times that the race is between PAK & WI, nothing to do with BD & both PCB & WICB are taking th opportunity of the incompetence of ICC - few days back I wrote that depending on PAK-SRL series PCB or WICB 'll change their course of action. This is one topic where BD or BCB has nothing to do still I see bitter people bringing immature arguments.

Had been in PP for almost half a decade now - Already my time at PP is reducing & if these goes on this way, I see many true cricket loving serious posters actually avoiding PP just for few people. I just can't manage time now to be a moderator, but would have loved to clean some germs for a fantastic cricket forum being spoiled. Animosity has a rolling effect - poster here are getting involved in ugly arguments just for the sake of vested ego, which is totally uncalled for. I hope maturity prevails & we enjoy cricket discussion in a proper spirit here.

We ensure you that any pointless arguments, baseless accusations or post bashing won't be tolerated. We're consistently monitoring to ensure PP is a forum of discussion for everyone and that the posts don't support negativity.

Thank you for your quality posts as always

but sometime lower ranked team lose only 1 points even after 2 defeats while they get 3-4 points when they beat much higher ranked sides. for example if bangla had somehow managed to won this test than SA had lost 8 points just for 1 test defeat and IIRC Pakistan got 9-10 points during that 3-0 england whitewash

Yep, I think you don't know, how the formula for calculating point works. If you want I can tell you that.

Assalam o aliukum. I am away for 14 days due to my Final exams. Let's come towards the topic. Whatever you are pointing out is right, but one thing, if some posters are avoiding PP due to some of Stupid people, then i think they should care about those people who love to discuss with those lovers about cricket and passion. It seems, cricket lovers can leave something due to some trouble mongers, but they can not stick to their post due to some of their best fellows, and those who respect them and who want them to stay and to continue their perfect job. Whenever the kids go rebel, elders don't turn their backs. You are here to discuss cricket with those who love to do this discussion, you should focus on them. Not on those who are here to troll and all. Take care and have a nice stay.

It's not about money, it's not about the Big 3 and its not about WI either. Pakistan has a very good team at the moment and should be confident of defeating Zimbabwe (and also WI) away from home. If delaying this tour is not an act of cowardice, then I'm not sure what it is. This is very disappointing.

Not playing Pakistan in UAE all this time is an act of cowardice.

 

[Ottoman]

What has Modi got to do here?What two independent sovereign nations and their PM do in their own countries is none of Pakistan's concern.

Btw who refused to give Pak players NOC for BPL because BD team didnot tour Pakistan?

On Topic:

This may not be a honourable decision but this strategically fits with Pakistan's aim to qualify.But if WI arrange a couple of series with higher ranked teams then it may come to bite them.

So what happened to BPL, when PCB withdrew their players. When it will happen next?

 

[yadunoe]

Its not their fault every facet of their country is controlled by India, even cricket.

Pakistan needs to work hard restoring international cricket and not worry too much what minnows think about the situation.

Its quite sad really, we helped BD get test status and this is how they repay us.

since independence this has been the case

Player bashing. Team bashing. Post bashing will NOT be tolerated. Keep in mind guys. Keep it civil and stick to the topic

BOTH the Zimbabwe Cricket board and the Pakistan Cricket board have postponed it due to lack of sponsors, apparently. You never know why.

I also doubt Pakistan would simply back out of a series because they've secured the 8th spot. The Pakistan cricket I know always fights for the top and simply sitting 8th to play in Champion's Trophy isn't something they would do. Hence why I'm surprised.

Lack of sponsors: Pakistan tour of Zimbabwe postponed

LAHORE: (Dunya News, Web Desk) – Pakistan’s tour of Zimbabwe has on Friday been cancelled due to lack of sponsors. Pakistan Cricket Board and Zimbabwe Cricket decided to postpone the series with mutual consent, reported Dunya News.

According to details, Zimbabwe was having problems in getting sponsorship for the tour. Finally, the two boards mutually agreed on postponing the series.

Pakistan was expected to tour Zimbabwe in August where they were to play 3 One-Day Internationals (ODI) and 2 Twenty20.

Ask BCB that.

BPL did take place the year that incident happened.Shut down due to fixing issues.

It was shut because more than 20 players were from Pakistan & when they were not allowed no one wanted to invest in BPL.

Stick to the current topic please

 

[KeyboardWarrior]

Apart from Mustafa Kamal you please explain to me how touring Pakistan in 2012/2013 would have suited and benefitted Bangladesh or BCB in anything.

Nothing, zilch, no qualification or ranking was on the line.
Infact it could be even be seen as sign of good gesuture that BCB thought about touring Pakistan when nobody would and yet Bangladesh are seen as enemies now, the irony.

Now this on the other hand is completely different, qualifications and rankings are on the line not Players lives

first of all, no one sees you as enemies here, keep in mind.
secondly, Mustafa kamal was the president of BCB, It was the BCB's fault who select the joker for important post in BCB, Who dont know how to run things.

So, we blame the whole BCB not Mustafa Kamal only.
PCB got major financial hit becoz of the BCB backstabbing and minnow thinking.

as i said, dont give us lecture on Morality.

Some good news, I guess.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Lets get back on cricket topic guys.

I don't understand why Pakistan is being called coward for cancelling a tour when BD and especially India are cancelling tours all the time, and that to after everything has been arranged.

The hypocrisy is unreal.

 

[MenInG]

Riseofthetigers - you are one more post away from a ban.

Think carefully about what you post next

 

[Saqs]

The Pak and Zim series in Pak was also about to get postponed due to lack of sponsors. They always end up pulling through at the end. Pretty sure the tour will still go ahead.

 

[MenInG]

I haven't done any more than what some other fans have done on this thread, and I haven't labelled any Pakistani fans as crybabies or hypocrites like some. Just to clarify

Thanks and goodbye

Its not a rqndom tour which got postponed. This tour was there as a backup tour to earn points to go in the CT incase Pak lose the series. so after they won the series they easily could have play the tour. but appearently they are scared to lose against Zim and lose points and get out from CT. the same insecurity had BCB too when talk about triseries was going through media.

The insecurity of losing against Zim is a open secret now.

iirc
all these sponser issue came after PAK won the series! We know had pak lost the series there were no sponcer problem about pak-zim series. pak can play 100 matches to go to rank 1.but any match before 30sep is a taboo topic it seems.

You do realise the report states the delay is from Zimbabwe side, not Pak? Right?

Other boards rearrange tours all the time. I do not understand your frustrations when Pakistan decides to.

yes yes ,the rearrange must have taken place even if pak had lost the series.

 

[BleedGreen]

Why is it such a big issue. There are series re-scheduled all the time. Now that it's probably not before Sep 30, everyone is going crazy ) It's just another series that has been re-scheduled, maybe because of sponsorship issues, maybe other issues, who cares.

It's re-scheduled. Move on

 

[BDwarriors]

yes, but we had hints from the moment Pak win the series that zim or triseries may not take place,check threads opened at that day about this. all of sudden Zim had to announce they are having sponcer problem.

Lol. That was a thread created by a PP user.

Unless you think PP users have so much sway and power that we can dictate what two national cricketing boards decide, this is the most ridiculous post I've read in a long time.

There have been sources though in the last few days indicating that the Tri series was never proposed

BTW, is there any reaction from ZCB or WICB?

I don't see this is an update

 

[Varun]

Oh great, now we have a series vs West Indies.

If they don't run away again that is.

Pakistan is not going to gain any points by beating Zim. So if we had lost to SL playing Zim would not have mattered. Now if ICC would step up and sponsor the series by stipulating that 3 team series between Zim, WI and Pak should be held the winner goes to the champions trophy it would make a very interesting series. And as it would be an ICC tournament I think they would be able to get sponsors.

 

[Sidilicious]

What if WI end up playing Zimbo to ear some points?

Would it make a difference to Pak if WI win the whole series?

 

[par]

That's a bit over the top.. cowardly yes, but there has been far worse. BCCI itself takes top honors in the "cowardly acts" list.

How many tours has BCCI pulled out because of fear of losing matches?

 

[ExplicitAI]

How is it cowardly when the tour hasn't even been agreed upon? The tour is "postponed", we didn't pull out. Lets not forget Bangladesh who pulled out from touring Pakistan twice, they don't have a right to say anything regarding this topic.

Yes well put

 

[msb314]

Bump!

Less than 2 years ago - we postponed the tour of Zimbabwe out of fear of losing an ODI to them and not qualifying for the CT.

Now look at us today - CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!
