Good stuff with Abrar. Looks like Indian owned franchises in The Hundred will pick PAK players after all.

We can fairly say that Rauf's value has diminished.

The shocker for me is still Tim Seifert not getting picked

Who knows the reason. I can only guess these franchises have their preferred combinations and he fell through the cracks.

Alot of big players like Hasaranga have gone unsold like so it's impressive that someone like Abrar was able to land this deal after a significant bidding war between Sunrisers and Trent Rockets. My guess is Dan Vettori thinks highly of him.

Lot of great foreign players gone unsold soo usman tariq and abrar really are prize commodities in t20 cricket to get picked....... there are too few overseas slots
 
Funny how sometimes IPL owned teams becomes private league unconnected to India, sometimes IPL owned teams becomes Indian property.

Depends on mood of our neighbourly brothers :murali

How do indians view this? Are they angry? Would this lead to boycott of sunrisers hyderabad?

I’m not angry, and it will be a one day topic of discussion, if that.

I see it as merit getting rewarded. Up to Abrar to grab the opportunity and make it count.

Sigh.

Given that I referenced the IPL front up, your language betrays first of all your comprehension skills. That can be improved.

It also betrays your upbringing, but it’s too late to change that.

U can talk about my upbringing all you want.

But its always funny an indian living in a slum, write in we when discussing cricket finance..
 
Ah all these years and she hasn’t changed , the rich Liberal Kavya, Stella Marian remains the most liberal of em all.. congratulations to Abrar.

There will be no backlash against her, Telugu and Tamil folks don’t care about this and Sun TV is usually only famous there

But ur post does indicate you are not happy.

So its ok for u to post on a pakistani website, but not ok for someone who made their own money and want to spend it how they want?

The meltdown has started.

Watch how indians wiĺl say that the ungal celebration was basically giving ungal to indians in their behind

They are stuffed this time I recon

If SRH release him, then the UK independent body that deals with discrimination etc will get involved with the franchise and ECB.

Yeh Karwwa ghoont inko peena parre ga!

Lol I have a dislike for Rich liberals irrespective of the city, nothing against Abrar he deserves it, but she is trolling.

She is a very confident woman, and will be trolling many Indians which as i said above should be amusing.
 
Rana said:
Kavya

She went all out for him. She kept bidding £10k every time Trent upped the bid
Click to expand...
Damnn.. so indians doing first bid.

Also i noticed the indians do rate abrar highly, especially when virat patted him on the back after that spell
 
It’s an interesting strategy; obviously he fits in with their plans.

Anyone knows what the Sunrisers’ 100 team is looking like so far?

Whats to troll? Anyone can buy the player
 
I think Indians on the social media hating on Kavya and/or Sunrisers is plain stupid. That league isn’t even in India. It’s a business decision for god’s sake - they bought a player who they thought could win them games!
I’d totally understand the outrage if this were IPL and their bread and butter has a basis of local Indian clientele, their emotions and support.

Their players don’t mind bantering with him for tea and the head celebration

I think butt hurt Indians are venting their anger at th wrong guy. He isn’t vengeful like some players such as Rauf for instance

Yeah if you knew her and her family personally or even politically.. it’s not that simple.

Again Nothing against Abrar glad he got paid well(hoping its a good price)..

No cricket lovers do check scores and specially those fantasy game guys. It's obviously not widely followed. But game timings are really good for the hundred. It's always on at the prime time.

In Pakistan nobody knew leagues apart from PSL and IPL..........

I don’t think they represent the majority - who don’t care beyond a “oh so that happened” response. It’s mostly the trolls, people looking to rage bait for clicks and media houses for views. No doubt some feel strongly about it.

Will probably blow over after a while
 
Excellent pick for Brum, can’t wait to watch Tariq, I was there for our inaugural game, bah gawd time to book tickets again

I found the Hundred live stream. Remember when people used to deride the IPL auctions as regressive and players saying they felt like cattle.

How times change...

The same people now would gladly give up an arm and a leg to see their favourite players sold and bought like 'Cattle' in an auction of a league several notches below IPL.

I wasn't refering to pakistani fans or players but the old media. Mostly players and media from SENA thought auctions were an unicivlized way to select human beings lol.

As good as he is, there are too many similar-ish players available to fill the void in his position, as a foreigner you need to bring something a bit unique or have great utility which makes for a much better purchase

Despite my low post count, I’m not new here. I’ve spent a decade on this forum, and you never made sense then, you don’t make sense now, and judging by the way you post, I’m not optimistic about the future either. So there’s really no point trying to have a serious debate with you.

By the way, don’t forget to check under your bed for Rizwan before you go to sleep.

You do know that she is a puppet, right. the puppet master is M.K. Stalin.
 
Hopefully Southern brave can show some bravery and buy Harris Rauf

MI London can … off for all I care! We know these guys will never want harmony between Pakistan and India!

They are more towards West London (Lords) I believe. MI London’s home will be the Oval? I think the South/Surrey is more pro Pakistan

how exactly do you know. curious. I grew up in the glory days of "murasoli"
 
I see that Kavya did a Stern MBA; probably finance type then. At least back in my day the finance types went to Wharton and Stern.

She’ll have the spreadsheets going for sure.
