Rauf should've been picked in my humble opinion.

Rauf is a good bowler. I think he can be good in this leagues.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Why are you feeling hurt?

I’m not hurt. I think that it’s good in many ways that he got picked.

 

[Josh]

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

There will be outrage by some active people on x but generally people don't care about hundred so won't care about this news either

 

[DeadlyVenom]

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

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

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..

 

[Katwalindian]

I don't think anybody follow hundred in Asia....

 

[JaDed]

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

The meltdown has started.

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

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?

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!

Btw who bid first? These guys or trent?

 

[JaDed]

Kaavya will troll many North Indian folks as expected.. should be fun few days, Keyboard warriors of North India vs South India fighting online to keep Abrar in UK team lol..

 

[Josh]

I don't think anybody follow hundred in Asia....

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.

 

[Rana]

Btw who bid first? These guys or trent?

Kavya

She went all out for him. She kept bidding £10k every time Trent upped the bid

 

[Rana]

Xavier Bartlett unsold for £50k

Another strange one

 

[JaDed]

But ur post does indicate you are not happy.

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.

 

[Major]

Kavya

She went all out for him. She kept bidding £10k every time Trent upped the bid

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

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

It’s an interesting strategy; obviously he fits in with their plans.

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

 

[Major]

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

Whats to troll? Anyone can buy the player

 

[charlie007]

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.

 

[Rana]

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

 

[RexRex]

Why has nobody picked Farhan ?

 

[JaDed]

Whats to troll? Anyone can buy the player

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)..

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Any more abusive stuff and someone will be banned from this thread

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Why has nobody picked Farhan ?

Not shortlisted

 

[Rana]

Why has nobody picked Farhan ?

He isn’t in the auction. He registered but all franchises didn’t show interest for him to be put into the auction.

I think it’s fair.

 

[Katwalindian]

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

 

[JaDed]

? BPL ..

 

[Katwalindian]

Not shortlisted

Only 4 foreign players allowed per team....

 

[Katwalindian]

? BPL ..

I would rather watch national t20 Cup then BPL

 

[RexRex]

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...

 

[Prince of Dorne]

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

An overwhelming majority of Indians don't know that the Hundred exists.

 

[Rana]

An overwhelming majority of Indians don't know that the Hundred exists.

They knew it existed as long as they could potentially discriminate against Pakistanis

 

[shaz619]

60 pakistanis put their names only 13 shortlisted for auction

Only one Pakistani by an Indian owner

National period of mourning in India for the next 4 weeks,

There there little Joshila kitty:

 

[rpant_gabba]

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

There is bound to be some backlash, which is what they wanted.

Here is some background on the owner.

Excellent pick for Brum, can’t wait to watch Tariq, I was there for our inaugural game, bah gawd time to book tickets again

 

[Prince of Dorne]

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.

 

[shaz619]

An overwhelming majority of Indians don't know that the Hundred exists.

An overwhelming majority of Indians are crying now,

That Indian owner wants some Pakistani Shish Kebab

The usual cross border story

Pakistanis and their choti choti khushiyan

 

[RexRex]

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.

 

[shaz619]

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

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

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Is the auction over?

 

[shaz619]

https://twitter.com/x/status/2032097145948664046

This woman showing up the scummy followers in her country so respect there, she doesn’t deserve all the death threats from the sub-human extremists. It’s just a cricket match, and not even being played on their tainted soil.

 

[Prince of Dorne]

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.

Oh, we didn’t know about this until she bought a Pakistani player!

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!

 

[Rana]

Pakistanis and their choti choti khushiyan

It is that simple bro. Cricket isn’t war.

There’s a vocal Modi loving majority in London & I bet that franchise attracts all the vermin

As long as I am not making sense to people like you, I am contributing to a better world! Aameen!

 

[shaz619]

Kavya Maran, can I call her Kavvy? Not bad for an Indian to be fair, quiet tidy, is she from the North or South?

 

[RexRex]

I doubt it. Staging fake protests with unemployed street goons might count as backlash I guess.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

It still is uncivilised

Chennai, From affluent family of SUN TV network, Political dynasty of Marans.

She was brilliant as a student.. irrespective of being super rich

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

Not in media yet, any coordinated backlash will take place time, likely see withdraw of ads by certain companies in short term

Marans are Murdochs of the South .. to give an analogy lol

The ECB no longer thinks so.

how exactly do you know. curious. I grew up in the glory days of "murasoli"

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

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.

 

[JaDed]

Thats part of a pre agreed deal,Yunus is gone, apparently Tariq zia has shown initial signs of of being less combative and more cooperative

Naw doesn’t matter, Hindu has already been lynched as per BJP buoys

 

[DeadlyVenom]

The ECB no longer thinks so.

They have sold this dud league to Kumars for a ridiculous amount, so are happy counting the money.

 

[RexRex]

Not in media yet, any coordinated backlash will take place time, likely see withdraw of ads by certain companies in short term

Will vindictive Modi threaten those companies and force them to withdraw ads from the Maran's ventures ?

 

[RexRex]

Sad to see ECB debase their own players into cattle just to earn some indian moolah.

Also Stella Marris.. premium women’s college bck in the day.

 

[JaDed]

From Chennai.. I knew Stella Marris folks and Loyola folks she was famous coz of her fam..

There were obviously better students than her..

Ali Tareen did an MBA from Oxford.

We can't read too much into these things.

Which college did he go to.. Kavya went top college of Chennai but i agree overall on your point

 

[GudduBadmash]

This stint is going to make Abrar and Tariq better bowlers, it benefits us massively

They wont be facing quality like this in our domestic set up so better they play these leagues and learn, bring that learned knowledge to Pakistan and teach Shodas like Shabab Khan how to bowl

 

[Josh]

Did premium bowler and Rauf not get selected ? Or there will be another round?

 

[GudduBadmash]

The sad thing is, it is an English League and not the IPL, this guy wants India to have complete autonomy in a foreign league too. which is messed up.

Gotta give the owners their kudos, this is a ballsy move considering the amount of right wing psychos that will bombard them now and I am sure they knew that too
