[VIDEO] "India will deliberately lose to SL and BAN to oust Pakistan from the World Cup" : Basit Ali

[nextover666666]

No India won't lose on purpose they have high expections to finish first their media and fans won't forgive them India will go for the kill

 

[chacha kashmiri]

Without shekhar they don’t look the same team
Let’s see how good their batting actually is

 

[last_knight]

Two persons I wish could smile; Basit & Narine.

 

[BaankeJi]

Good to see very few Pakistani fans believing Basit.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Good to see very few Pakistani fans believing Basit.

No one here takes him seriously

 

[waleed88]

I'm sure Basit Ali is a very good analyst when he wants to be but apparently the channel he is on want them to make masala comments for fans to gulp them up for ratings.. awaam ko pagal banaya hua Hai basit bhai akal kay nakhun lain

 

[Bhaijaan]

It could be true.

If India wins next two games they might deliberately concede points to keep Pakistan away from semis.

Modi is waiting to make this move and is in constant touch with BCCI tracking every move

lol

 

[BakuGM]

Don't take Basit or any analyst too seriously as they are playing to the gallery....

 

[jnaveen1980]

It will be real fun losing to BD lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

May be he thinks it is a pre-emptive strike to remind India "We are onto you" hahaha. Has he done that in his life?If he thinks Kohli will go for it, then he is living in alternate reality.

 

[karthikc]

Yes true..basit was talented but his attitude went against him..I remember him hitting huge sixes off Srinath during the Sharjah matches

 

[Nov15]

The other "analyst" on that show Tanvir Ahmed is a bigger joker. Some of his gems from the past:

"Inzamam is not a legend. Inzamam ney konsa legend wala kaam kiya ha"

"Virat Kholi bhaag gaya" (When Kohli was rested for Asia Cup)

 

[pillionrider]

2009 Champions Trophy match against Australia.

Even if India does this, we kind of deserve it for that

I chose to watch the Pak-Aus game over India's simultaneous one where Kohli got a 100 I think. Partly because it would decide if India qualified, but mostly because it was the better match. Don't remember thinking Pak didn't give it their best shot though I heard that line of thought after the game from others.

What I remember from that game most though is Rana Naved's slower balls - the greatest slower bowling I've ever seen in a game.

 

[pillionrider]

Yes true..basit was talented but his attitude went against him..I remember him hitting huge sixes off Srinath during the Sharjah matches

Basit Ali is the biggest faker to ever emerge in terms of potential. That Sharjah innings made him a hero but he was essentially a conjob who never had the skills for a decent international career. Imran Nazir was about 5 times more gifted than him. And Yaseer Hameed twice as talented.

 

[Mlsrock]

What else you expect from Basit Ali

 

[big_gamer007]

Seems a good masala show. Perfect to watch after a couple of drinks.

"I am hopeful but the things I am thinking of, God forbid that were to happen. India have played 5 matches and India will never want Pakistan to reach the semi-finals. They have matches against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and everyone saw how they won against Afghanistan"

"I think Pakistan should just focus on tomorrow's match against New Zealand"

"India may lose, people wouldn't say that it's deliberate because they have buttons instead of eyes. They would play such a match that you wouldn't even know what happened"

"What happened against Afghanistan? What did Australia do against India? David Warner?"

"Those who say cricket is by chance are talking rubbish"

"What happened in 1992? New Zealand deliberately lost against Pakistan. Even if you ask Imran bhai, he will say they lost so that they could have played their semi-final at home"

One thing I noticed that host was excellent!

As for Basit, he even managed to discredit Pakistan's entry into SF of WC '92!

 

[Pete Rose]

Never change, Basit

 

[noregrets]

Right, by outburst you clearly didn't mean to say whistle blowing against match fixing against the holy cows of Pakistan cricket.

That... It almost cost Rashid Latif his career as well.

 

[Slog]

Basits an equal opportunity idiot

 

[Balthazar]

Well, it's India's choice. They can do whatever they want.

 

[MP2011]

Basits an equal opportunity idiot

Won't call him idiot, I think he does it on purpose, which is actually even more dangerous!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Even if India tries to throw it against us we will somehow manage to lose it, we don't know how to win against India.

 

[hassaanzeb]

Wasn’t he claiming that the 2011 WC was fixed for India to win it? What a loser!

I dont agree with his latest comments but I firmly believe that SL and AUS deliberately lost to Ind in 2015 WC Final and knowout stage respectively.
I say so purely based on my understanding of the game not on anyone information. I have seen every bit of those matches and I could see what was happening. It was later confirmed by Ranatunga and Sangakara media fight when the former accused the later of loosing the finals deliberately and then everyone got silent.

 

[spiderreddy]

What if Pak lose to BD just to avoid facing India again in the WC ?

 

[MenInG]

Well, it's India's choice. They can do whatever they want.

That would not be a good idea - the integrity of the India team would be in question then if they deliberately throw games.

Please dont even joke about it

 

[Balthazar]

They need to take it easy to avoid any injuries and try their bench strength, especially against Bangla.

 

[pillionrider]

I think you've raised the most legitimate possibility here

 

[MenInG]

I think you've raised the most legitimate possibility here

its a stupid question as that would mean we would not qualify for the semi-final.

 

[surg]

India/Kohli are too professional to deliberately loose.

 

[pillionrider]

its a stupid question as that would mean we would not qualify for the semi-final.

You're taking our silliness too literally.

 

[jeetu]

Reminds me of 1996 WC , where it was rumored in Indian circle that Pakistan would deliberately lose last group match to avoid clash with India in India.

 

[AutoCrat]

Glad to see no one takes him seriously on this forum. It would be a mouthwatering encounter if India and Pak meet in the semis. It will mean India will top the table winning all their matches and full of confidence, and Pakistan will be in red hot form and loads of self belief coming from nowhere to clinch a semi final berth. It will be a war of nerves, stamina and skill like no other, could become the match of the decade.

 

[aukhan]

Basit is a nutcase who was convicted by Justice Qayyum's commission.

He is a conspiracy theorist who would make Sarfraz Nawaz and every other ex-cricketer look sensible. No one should take him serious. This guy has ZERO credibility.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Why would they deliberately lose?

India has a pretty good chance of winning their first world cup without losing a single game, and that would be a truly amazing achievement. Absolutely ridiculous thinking that a team would tarnish their own World Cup legacy just for the sake of not letting an other team qualify, which they have already beaten.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Ind will lose to Eng.. Roy should be back they miss him big time...

However if its the same wicket like yesterday eng are in trouble...

[Arsalan Pro]

I don't think India losing to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh matters to us now anyway, if we win both our games these 2 teams are good as gone. That means we have everything under control and in our hands with respect to these teams.

Coming to England, India haven't qualified yet and will give their all. I can see them winning easily with the current form they are in.

Lastly, these comments from our former players are ridiculous and no team would want to lose to anyone, especially to weaker teams who would tarnish their World Cup legacy. India should finish unbeaten in the group games.

 

[Mueez]

Bunch of jokers who will do anything to gain TRP’s.

 

[Hawkeye]

Sikandar Bakht is a true railu katta.

And he also does a lot of rona dhona.

why not , if Indian team 'prefers some other opponent other than Pakistan in knock outs' for some reasons they think would benefit them in eventually lifting the trophy? I don't find any unethical thing in it at all.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India is yet to qualify for the semi final. LEt us not forget that.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

If India had to lose deliberately they will lose against England not against Sri Lanka or Bangladesh because England are/were favorites to win this World Cup.

 

[Usman Chadda]

India will have to play really poor cricket to lose to either Sri Lanka or Bangladesh. Both teams will get massive thrashings IMO.

India can only be stopped in the KO games now. Their bowling attack is lethal.

 

[Swashbuckler]

We might lose because we aren't that good a team, especially after Dhawan's exit.

 

[latecut]

Using Basit Ali logic, New Zealand deliberately lost to Pakistan to help oust England.

 

[satheesh]

India is yet to qualify for the semi final. LEt us not forget that.

that's why I said 'if that would benefit them' .For instance suppose that IND-BAN & IND-SL were before IND-ENG and that IND could win in any one of them. In that scenario ,I wouldn't mind at all if IND deliberately tries to knock PAK out 'if they feel' that is the best for them to win the trophy.This is not match fixing, this is only making your path clearer towards the ultimate destination.

 

[Madplayer]

What if Pak lose to BD just to avoid facing India again in the WC ?

What if you start making sense for a change

 

[baggy blue]

india afganisthan match ? whats his point ?

 

[Mamoon]

As a result of our rotten mentality, our fans and so-called experts have convinced themselves that India will try everything within their power to eliminate Pakistan. They have somehow convinced themselves that because of the Champions Trophy, India is going to perceive Pakistan as a huge threat in the knockouts.

Firstly, India is too professional to worry about which teams will qualify for the semifinals. Secondly, England is a far bigger threat than India. In order to lose to Pakistan, India needs to have a meltdown and underperform severely, because the gulf in class between the two teams is huge. On the contrary, England are fully capable of beating India even if the latter produces its A game, because there is almost nothing that separates the two sides.

 

[surg]

If India loose - he already said it
If India wins- he motivated them
Nothing to loose for Basit, smart guy

 

[Smbhayi]

2009 Champions Trophy match against Australia.

Even if India does this, we kind of deserve it for that

Against NZ I guess, where Younis Khan drop a simple catch and have a big smile on his face

 

[Smbhayi]

England can't beat both India & New Zealand. Pakistan will surely finish fourth. India will be praying they don't end up being table-toppers & meet Pakistan in semi-final. Pakistan have the momentum. Unstoppable.

India actually want to get Pak in final..

 

[spiderreddy]

What if you start making sense for a change

Be a PPer when in PP

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

India actually want to get Pak in final..

Who told you that? The same fans who wanted to boycott every match against Pakistan few months ago or Chowkidar Gautam Gambhir who was last seen giving his expert opinion on matches involving Pakistan?

Expected better from Sikander Bakht.

We would like pakistan to get eliminated ,yes
But dont want our team to lose for that...

Why we want pakistan to lose? Because as much as we trust our team,we know lately they suck at KO matches ,theyll lose to SAF if it comes to that...and there is good chances there can be indiavpak semi...so we dont want to face our arch rivals in KO WHERE our team magically starts underperfoming....which has nothing to do with hate ,just like mamoon bhai said

 

[DeadlyYorker]

India actually want to get Pak in final..

I think you have confused india with icc

 

[Saj]

How these channels allow this nonsense to be broadcasted is beyond me.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

And he was correct in that assessment.

If that assessment was corect...why not just hand over the WC to India?...

Awesome take on this situation bhai...as an indian fully agree....i'd still want an india pak match but if its a KO situation-am no so confident about our guys....but when india is not playing...i'd support pak....

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I thought BA was a terrific player in the 90's...sort of another javed or Ijaz....i guess some players feel the absence of the spot light and have to spout tripe to sell channels and attract eyeballs....sarfraz nawaz being another numbri aadmi much like our manoj prabhakar..

Many thanks bhai....much appreciated....and on behalf of several rational indians...plz ignore the cringeworthy patheric Star sports promo....what a gross misuse of a noble day like fathers day ...cheers bhai...

 

[BalluBalleBaaz]

This is pretty shocking lol from so called cricket experts on national TV, Basit ali is hilarious with his deep analysis and sikandar with his shararatein

 

[Stewie]

Basic ali is an idiot. Wonderful wonderful batsman during his heydays but a terrible terrible analyst.

He is always full of conspiracy theories about players from his region and this and that!

 

[Major]

Against NZ I guess, where Younis Khan drop a simple catch and have a big smile on his face

nonoo,

agianst nz was the semi final match

catch dropped was of grant elliot, he would go on to win the match for his team.

that night YK lost us the game

 

[ex-q-zit]

If India loose - he already said it
If India wins- he motivated them
Nothing to loose for Basit, smart guy

If India's win over Pakistan was not related to Pakistan's semi finals chances then he would have said England lost because of IPL just like he said when AUS lost to India.

Now he shamelessly says that he hopes India wins all its 3 remaining matches.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

We are not sure of a win against Eng and Desh. SL should be easy.

Stop being wussies. India should look forward to winning every game no matter who they will meet in the knockouts. That's the mindset of a true champion team, like the aussies of the noughties. Being afraid to face a particular team and thinking about ways to avoid it, is not a champion mindset. I don't mind India not winning the WC, I would be happy if they play every match with a champion attitude, be it against Pakistan or Australia. If a particular team outplay us in a knockout, so be it (like WC '15 or CT '17).

 

[PakLFC]

India are not through yet. They need to win tomorrow to make certain of a place then I also hear they would be happier playing Pak in the semi's. Losing a match will mean losing momentum as well that India will not want.

 

[AutoCrat]

India will qualify even if we lose all three matches. We have the highest NRR among all and 11 points already. Although India will look to win every match to put fear of God in whoever they will face in the semis.

 

[PakLFC]

They still will not want to lose momentum. As most Indian fans say they would rather face Pak in a possible semi then England. In the semi's it is who performs on the day, past results don't matter at all.

 

[ezhil]

Basit statement is for pushing us Indians to win against eng so that Pak can enter.but we r facing a battle wounded eng team with our fragile middle order and one hitter less(pant)

That's what I said in my second statement. My point is India is already qualified, our elimination is only a mathematical possibility.

 

[PakLFC]

As if Indians give a toss or even know what Basit is on about! Indian batting is no worse then Pak's. If Pak can defeat England then so can India be it a wounded England or not. Hope India bat first and get 300 as they often do.
