By the way what Pakistan got to do with all that drama? PCB did not bring this issue.
 
Bcci is acting like a bully. They shouldn't have defended dhoni.

The irony is that the same set of pak fans who are blaming icc for bias today would have mocked bcci's power if icc rejected their plea .
Secondly why are pak fans getting annoyed by this sticker, that sticker has no connection with pakistan.
 
So BCCI agrees that it was a breach of ICC code.

Pakistanis are such victims, indeed.
 
Jeez, India and Pakistan (to a lesser extent) are so much obsessed for a war between the two nations.

Itna dam hai toh khud ja kai larlo border pey.

Seriously do we guys even know what will happen to both countries?

No wonder why Asian countries have fallen behind the Europe, America and Oceania.
 
This is from a 2014 interview with Mark Nicholas:

"Winning the World Cup was very special because it meant so much to so many. One thing about our country that is constant is cricket. The smile it brought to people’s faces was the thing I shall always remember. It reminded me, reminded all of us, of our importance to the lives of the Indian people less lucky than we are.

“But personally, no. The proudest moment of my own life was the day I accepted my ranks at the Pipping Ceremony.” Your ranks? Pray explain. “From when I was a young boy, I read books on weapons and tanks and combat. I was so interested in the army. Then later, my profile as an Indian cricketer allowed me access to the real thing so I spent time with soldiers, learning about their lives and sacrifices. I had friends in the Special Forces and heard their stories of missions, the risks they take, the commitment they must have to succeed. I met the chief of the Army Staff and told him about my lifelong fascination with the military. I asked if it was possible to become involved myself. Incredible as it may seem, he took a recommendation through various channels that finished up with the president of the country. The result of all this is that I became an honorary lieutenant colonel in the Parachute Regiment.”

Even BCCI agrees with ICC decision... Yet [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] will come out and now say that BCCI stance is not important... Just like when I pointed out to him regarding ECB stance regarding Mo Ali issue

Seems like only opinion that matters to him is his own...
 
All these political gestures shouldn't be shown on a cricket field. There are other forums where you can share your political opinions. Showing them on a cricket view isn't necessary .

This is not the first and not the last time this has happened. He should get used to it because our board and fans can't walk the talk. They said they will boycott our match against Pakistan but you can see them getting all excited, buying as many tickets as they can and flooding the forum with their strategies for the biggest match of this year. :inti
 
Mamoon clearly showing his bias towards India. Seems like his moral compass is always tilted towards India.
 
Statement from the ICC

The ICC has responded to the BCCI to confirm the logo displayed by MS Dhoni in the previous match is not permitted to be worn on his wicket-keeping gloves at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019.

The regulations for ICC events do not permit any individual message or logo to be displayed on any items of clothing or equipment. In addition to this, the logo also breaches the regulations in relation to what is permitted on wicketkeeper gloves.

It is pretty clear. BCCI has agreed with ICC and ignored all the bravado coming from Indian fans and media

However, fact remains that ICC did not fine nor ban dhoni.... Like they did to moeen ali or imran tahir

Both above are statements of fact. So its good that BCCI did not walk the talk as per usual. Its also proven that ICC is hypocrite by not imposing a fine or ban on dhoni.

BCCI hardly walks the talk because all that talk is done by fans. Fans think they will put pressure on BCCI through social media, dharnas or breaking public property. But BCCI knows they need ICC money and have to do what the boss tells asks then to. :inti

Thats the thing. With all its wealth and supposed influence BCCI is perhaps weaker than other boards as it only cares for $$

This dhoni fiasco has put indian armed forces and fans in a really awkward position

There should be some internal investigation on why dhoni was allowed to wear this without approvals...

Once again, I am not arguing that whether it was (or wasn’t) a breach of an ICC code.

My point is that sporting a small symbol that is (a) not very visible and (b) is highly unrecognizable to the point that no one outside India even knows what it is means should not be a big deal.

If ICC have a problem with this, they may as well nan Dhoni’s camouflage backpack.

I think it should not matter what nationality the individuals are from.

Political insignias should be banned altogether because there is a time and place for those expressions and it is not on the cricket field, per the ICC rules.

India wore their army caps during the standoff and Dhoni the gloves DURING the game; if it was a part of their POST-GAME celebrations, I think there would be less controversy like the Pakistani push-ups.
Click to expand...

I agree that political insignias should be banned, but this is an innocuous symbol that is not very visible and more importantly, it is not recognizable. You have to be an Indian Army geek to know that it is an Indian army symbol.

People who saw this before the ICC acted on it would have most likely thought of it as a logo of the manufacturer.

You can’t really compare it to the military caps which are easily recognizable and anyone can tell that it is a tribute to the armed forces of India.

I think banning Dhoni from wearing these gloves is nitpicking of the highest order by the ICC, and they have simply invented a controversy and stirred unwanted drama because it is highly improbable that someone would have spotted it and linked it to the Indian army.

You speak for yourself, if you believe you are correct then state your opinion about yourself and you do not speak for any other Pakistani.

When I use “we” I refer to the general psyche of this sorry nation of which I have a very good measure. I consider myself an authority on how the people of our country think, what they think and the issues that the suffer from.

When I pass my opinion, I usually do state that it is well my opinion, which is of course not enforceable because I don’t have the power. I wish I did, but I don’t.

Who said free Palestine is a religious cause? You do realise there’s Christian Palestinians. The free Palestine cause is much more of a Human rights campaign rather then a religious one, your constant idiotic remarks on this forum are really starting to get embarrassing.
Click to expand...

There are only about 5% Christians in Palestine, so it is predominantly a Muslim issue.

There is no doubt that it should be a human rights problem because Israel is guilty of serious human rights violations, but do you honestly think that if the Muslims weren’t at the receiving end, the Muslim community around the world would care as much as they do now?

If a Christian or Hindu community suffer oppression to the same degree, do you think the Muslim community would have express their empathy to the same degree?

The honest answer to both question is no, which is why our empathy for Palestine is driven by religion and not by humanity. True humanity exists and I am sure there are examples, but they are very rare.

Empathy is greatly driven by nationalism, politics and religion. They play a huge part in determining who we we care about and in what order of preference.
 
Mamoon said:
If Moeen was a humanitarian, he would have shown solidarity with other oppressed groups as well.

The fact that he didn’t give a damn about the biggest Christian massacre in Pakistan’s history that happened a few months before he wore the “Save Gaza” bracelet, clearly shows that the safety of Christians is not a priority for him.

Of course it is possible to support Palestine on humanitarian grounds, but Moeen isn’t one of them.

And how do you know that for sure? I think it'd a bad idea to assume what Moeens intention were. Maybe he prayed for the Christians that were massacred. What's the point of attacking what Moeen was trying to do?

Please point me to any post of mine in this thread where I have stated that Dhoni has not broken any rules. My point from the word go has been simple - unless a symbol is very common and thus recognizable, it should not be a problem.

Whether a symbol is recognizable or not can often be a matter of dispute, and this is ICC needs to evaluate on case by case basis.

Half of the people here didn’t even know that the Indian military had a symbol, and the other half had no idea what it looked like. As a result, in my view, it was not a big deal.

He prayed for Christians but he didn’t think their suffering was important or significant enough for him to show solidarity publicly by wearing a bracelet in their honor. He prioritized Palestine and it is obvious why.

I am not attacking Moeen, my point is that we should be honest about the fact that Muslims in general care about what happens in Palestine because of the Muslim connection and not because of humanity.

Oh I see, you agree Dhoni had broken the rules, in the same breath state if the symbol is not common/recognisable it should not be a problem, insinuating that Dhoni shouldn't have been pulled up. Make your mind up.

I think you just like arguing for the sake of it and other obvious reasons motivate you, but one thing is for certain, you are a champion at spinning yarns. If BCCI had not caved in, your second phase of contributions wouldn't have been so humbling.

Rules are rules; but you go the extra mile trying to fight BCCIs corner by claiming ICC have made a big deal over violation of rule. Who'd have though it. The reality is if this was a Pakistani player then not only would you be gunning for a punishment but would be claiming ICC are well within their rights.

This is the issue with your 7", 12", and radio edits of your arguments - they're warped.

Almost 10,000 votes according to the poll.
So even 5000 people is quite a considerable amount to have such an OTT viewpoint though it most certainly is not the common opinion.

If Dhoni thinks his some top shot go to the border & take a bullet for your country... doubt it if war broke out the bollywood/cricket celebrities will be the 1st to hide in there bunkers!!

Have you even looked at ICC clothing regulations? If not suggest you read

Backpacks are not part of on field clothing but gloves are and rules are clear.

What you will never understand or accept is the hypocrisy of ICC. Its not rocket science.

ICC has flagged this as an issue and something we agree on i.e it was a breach. In my opinion dhoni is another player who should be meted with same punishment as others.

This is where ICC has failed. They make rules but do not apply transparently. Some players and boards (Big 3) seem more equal than others.
 
BCCI has shown no bossiness about this issue at all. All they have said is and it is on record that they will comply with ICC rules. If the rule is very specific then there is no question of breaking it. If the rule is not specific they will request ICC to allow it.

What the fans and media say about it is an entirely different matter.

Just look at ur media... National pride has been hurt. As i said you have my sympathies.. I have nothing against you. Be happy as BCCI as board will continue to insult your nation. Good luck :)
 
The problem i see is with their media and public, they made it a matter of national pride.I have nothing against dhoni, icc asked him to changed the gloves, and it should have ended there, unfortunately their media wanted to create a mega tamasha.

In your extra intent to bash Indians, you forgot to check which side i am on in this farce. And a few medias don't define our country. You have your own set of buffoons there i am sure. My only intention was to point your topsy-turvy ride as far BCCICC logical fallacy is concerned.

some think that such mind games have rattled Pak camp, when the fact is that Pak players just like any another must be having a good laugh.

Rattled? LOL The Pak players are not bothered by it, dhoni can have any symbol on his gloves whether its army one or a monkey one or a nazi one, it wont interest Pakistani players.They will be concerned about facing indian spinners for first time or bowling to their fab three batters, and not about some dumb symbols on gloves.

Let's try again.

ICC did not ban or fine dhoni for this breach yet they banned both Mo Ali and Imran Tahir. How do you justify this?

When I use “we” I refer to the general psyche of this sorry nation of which I have a very good measure. I consider myself an authority on how the people of our country think, what they think and the issues that the suffer from.

When I pass my opinion, I usually do state that it is well my opinion, which is of course not enforceable because I don’t have the power. I wish I did, but I don’t.

Sure.

Now please explain, why do you get to speak for the rest of Pakistani?

You get one vote and that is for yourself.

I’m so glad that Pakistan has democracy, imagine if people suffering from narcissism, attention seeking behavior and arguing for the sake of argument had authority to control the rest of the nation.

So why do you think you get to speak for me and rest of Pakistani?

Next time try “ I, Me, or myself”

Bhai..Look at the reaction of millions on ICC ruling on gloves, now if ICC had handed a ban to Dhoni, what would have been the reaction of millions?
 
ICC would bend its Knee infront of mighty BCCI but theyb are only worried about retaliation from Pak players and it could easily become ugly
Tbh i feel all this is being done to hype the June 16 match

They won’t ban Dhoni in the middle of the World Cup. If they do, it would lead to a huge controversy. ICC has common sense.

And rules are supposed to be the same for everyone, but you know it’s not like that anywhere in this world.
