[VIDEO] "They have ruined cricket entirely": Shoaib Akhtar

[bk19xsa]

What subjective biasness. You make a ridiculous claim Austarlia doesn't take seriously. I just showed you are lying. Every team including associate take their game seriously. Fans are not playing cricket lol Team is playing cricket. Your performance doesn't depend on fans. Your skills. If anything it frees themselves from pressure. They got demolished by Zimbabwe and Srilanka you are giving excuses for them something even Australians would laugh at. Watch their show. Every time zimbabwe got shellacking in the world cup they were venting their frustration since zimbabwe took their spot.

So you do admit that their fans don't take it seriously. Where do you think the revenue comes in for the team and players?

I am pretty sure Kenyan players at one time also played the game competitively just supposedly like the Aussie T20I players. It's called professionalism.

Do you think that guys like Maxwell, Stoinis are crying a river bed that they went out early as some desi nations' players and fans do ?

Most Aussies are not that entrenched in their cricket team. They have other sports that they care about now. The popularity and numbers of the sports in current Aussie culture explicitly reveals that

Their own hardcore fans knew their T20I team was weak. Even many of their loyal fans across cricket forums on the Internet including reddit, cricketweb, planetcricket etc applauded that the Zimbabwe team took their spot.

It's astonishing that some Indian fans are more bothered about seriousness of Aussie or other nations' T20I cricket when Aussies or those nations themselves are least bothered.

If Australia and their board were really serious about T20I and T20I WC, then why did they not prepare for it as how they prepare for the Ashes??

What makes you think they take ODI cup seriously? lol Test series in overseas seriously? Australia not performing has nothing to do who follow Australian cricket. SOmehow you are trying to relate desperately. Austrlaians are not British who give excuses after losign series against others saying "We are preparing for Ashes". They got a fluke win in 2023 wordl cup. They were least prepared there. They even got to semi final because of some crucial drops by opponents. You sound liek they planned 2023 world cup spectacularly. They were carrying Labsucaghne, Smith both washed up in that tournament. It was a poor team. THey accidentally won much like they won 2021. They got creamed in Bangladesh when they won.

This shameless sucking up to Aussies whenever they win and giving excuses whenever they lose is something i hear only here.

So the trophy was apparently taken to a temple and Jay Shah was also present to give his blessings. Weird.

You have an issue with what BCCI does with a trophy won by Team India?​

Correct.

What these misinformed bhakts do not realize cricket is a small niche sport in SENA. They are not too fussy about performances in T20.

In England, football is #1.
In South Africa and New Zealand, rugby is #1.
In Australia, AFL is #1.

England and South Africa are mostly concerned with Ashes, Test series, and ODI WC. Australia do not seem much interested in T20.

It’s a fact that people are not watching cricket nowadays because of Endians ruining the game for everyone through corruption and just their typical cringe behaviour.

All other teams are innocent and divine agreed

Was Jay Shah representing BCCI?

Or is it common for the ICC chairman's to take part in holy rituals of the teams that win tournaments?

Now go ask grok or wiki to give past examples.

Jay Shah is an Indian fan, and the son of Amit Shah. That matters.​

Is that why he was there?

You’ll have to ask him. There is no protocol that prevents the ICC Chairman from being there, does it?​
