Pakistan squad contemplating winning this 'trophy':

Seriously? Is that kind of tabdeeli people want to have actually? Tuc Trophy?
It is better to see Dan Cake series
 
It would’ve been a more appropriate trophy if Misbah were still captain and Tahir-ul-Qadri was on a dharna.
 
Whose 'half baked' idea was to design a trophy like this? I am finding it really hard to 'digest' the look of it...
 
Still a much better trophy than the ones which Haier used to make with Afridi on the front.
 
Tuc or luck, Hafeez’ll go for a duck.
 
TUC biscuits are pretty tasty though...you get them a lot here in UK too. But yeah the trophy is hilarious
 
We take corporate sponsorship too far in Pakistan.

First we have domestic teams named after companies and now ugly trophies advertising sponsors.
 
India and Pakistan once played a 2 match ODI series for a trophy that weighed more than Inzamam himself.
 
I remember inaugural Border Gavaskar trophy back in '96 was truly truly awful.
 
Well yes it probably is. That's the most over the top promotion I've seen, it's suppose to be about cricket, not winning a biscuit competition.
 
:wahab2
This is funny. I'd rather have this trophy than all of the other generic ones.

Lol, remember that. The mighty DLF trophy, the 2 match 'tournament'. :srini

Fortunately for them, it was a draw.

That is by far the most ridiculous trophy ever. I mean who came up with the idea of doing 500 pound trophy.

I am sure Inzi bhai and Dada conspired to tie the series 1-1 to ensure none of them had to face the embarrassment of picking that trophy alone :inzi

Lmao is that for real?!?! Gotta find YT videos now.
 
Embarrasing. What if the main sponsor was a condom manufacturing company?
 
Unusual, weird, strange and pretty bad.

I understand the sponsors line of business, but surely the trophy could have been different.
 
It's right up there with the few that have been mentioned in here.

Pakistan and creativity don't know how to go hand in hand.
 
We missed a trick by not selecting Umar Akmal he would have played oit of his skin for a bite at that
 
Could be a sneaky marketing move. More people have seen and talked about this trophy than they normally would have.

+1. Genius marketing strategy. This is deliberate. Will get more eyeballs and would be talked for a long time to come. The name TUC is pretty easy to remember and pronounce. Don't think anyone would have even discussed about this, had it been another run of the mill trophy.
 
Great motivation for the sides. Winner gets a nutritious tuc cracker set, loser starves to death. Expect some passionate displays
 
Seriously it looks hideous. I hope the person responsible for the design is fired. It just looks bad. Does not matter if the company sells biscuit, it just does not look good.
 
The worry is that this may set a precedent. Forget about manforce being a sponsor in india, which would make a hilarious trophy, I am thinking if one of those Gutkha companies sponsor then the trophy would look like the Gutkha container.

Worse if Paytm decides to have Modi's face on the trophy!

Looking at the number of people talking about this trophy, that day ain't far. I did not know about TUC biscuits till yesterday. If i happen to visit UAE, and go shopping, it would be a brand i would easily recognize.
 
Why does Pakistan PCB or whoever it is always choosing the wrong sponsor? Don't forget about Brighto Paints
 
What the heck is that? Seriously, if I know I will be playing for that, I'd rather lose than holding something like that.
