[Video]"Indians are Buzdil and are always afraid before the match" : Imran Nazir

[croyden_ruiz]

Don't know what he meant, but Indians are under more pressure than Pakistan to win. A newbie with inconsistent erratic line like Wahab Riaz took 4 wickets in WC 2011, a weak fresh out of spotfixing side under Afridi restricted them to 261 on a 320+ Mohali pitch. Indians became a moving wicket on a moving ball in Dhaka recently. The repercussions are enormous for losing to Pakistan. Unlike our corrupt system, where Misbah was honored with captaincy after selfish batting in WC Semi-final loss, in 2005, their best captain Ganguly was removed from the job after Test tie and One Day series loss at home.

This is the mother of all bumps .Nazir- total hack.

There was a time when these threads were true. We also used to enjoy watching robin Singh and Sunil Joshi do the hardwork of getting India to a respectable defeat

Pak too had players like kabir khan, Salem elahi, mudassar nazzar, Ramirez raja,etc. these players are as horrible as Joshi, robin singh,etc if not worse.

So what were the repercussions of losing to Pakistan in the Aane Do series ( 2012) and the loss to Pakistan in Asia Cup ?

Virat Kohli not Dhoni captained as a replacement for the Asia Cup match and Dhoni survived cos he made a century and made merry individually whereas the other seniors failed. India's 300 maker Sehwag was taken out of the team alongwith Gambhir. Dhawan was introduced and Rohit Sharma was promoted up the order.

Maybe this is the perfect example of what Mickey was saying.

Virat failed in both the Aane Do series and that Asia cup match .... he is now the captain and never lost his spot in between ... similarly many people who played those 2 played for many more yrs and some still here .... The Asia cup happened more than a year after the Aane do series and Dhoni was rested for the entire Asia Cup and came back as captain after that . I don't see any repercussions here.

You can manipulate excuses its not my problem if Indian is adamant to justify his point scoring. I think the rest of the world on social media pretty much understands that. In my opinion, there are repercussions.

It must hurt a lot to know Pakistan doesnt even have someone who can take them to a ' respectable defeat'. All their defeats are pretty comprehensive and a matter of ridicule

Yes.

And all the other batsmen played brilliantly and nearly stole a win while Misbah kept on batting selfishly.

On the contrary, had one batsmen stayed with Misbah the result could have been magnificently different.

However, I am sure, you consider Misbah as the man responsible for everything and won't reason with your cerebral cortex. So any further discussion with you would be futile.

Not sure what excuses I have made .... everything that I stated is a fact that can be checked easily on Cricinfo.

Here is the news article of MS Dhoni missing Asia Cup in 2014 : http://www.espncricinfo.com/asia-cup-2014/content/story/720907.html

yes it certainly hurts a lot. these are literally stories from the last century.

Nazir

 

[Sidilicious]

I am not as bothered by Imran Nazir's comment as I am by Saeed Ajmal"s. IF you are a better team, you won't practice?

And to think he was a professional cricketer! Its attitude like this why Pakistan is struggling right now. Lack of professionalism.

Having said that, a part of me hopes he was being sarcastic.

OP video was removed

 

[big_gamer007]

Lol funny comments from Nazir, I used to like his batting back in the day he was an exciting prospect and his 100 in icl final was great to watch..

 

[Tusker]

There is no need for a discussion when personal feats are celebrated more than the team wins, it shows the regressing of expectations of a cricket supporter. But those personal stats are also a joke compared to a Indian woman cricketer


They are comparing her ODI stats with his Test career and laughing it off. Misbah is one hero of a zero who gave us tight losses in WT20 2007 and WC 2011, such a player would never have made the 90s team or any other. It does'nt matter anyways we already are in a ditch due to some glorifying a defensive waste.

If someone put a gun to my head and asked me to cough up the root-cause for Pakistan's failure .... I would point them to the OP in this thread and this post .... but I must confess it is pretty entertaining for outsiders ...

 

[Pollack]

O.K India is Buzdil before match.
But Sherdil on field during match and bada dil after match to not taunt Pakistan )

There are always repercussions for captains if they lose matches/series. However you have failed to make a case that these are more severe for Indian captains if they lose to Pakistan.
