A second successive T20 victory despite lack of IPL experience would be an even bigger slap!
I say screw this concept of ‘Asian Bloc’ too because time and again we have seen our ‘wonderful’ neighbours just using us when it suits them like winning hosting rights for World Cups in 1987 (India was not a powerhouse then and would not have been able to stage it all by themselves) and 2011
but showing their true colours and not supporting PCB in it’s bid to host World Cup 2011 ‘home’ games in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh cricket boards are not exempt from this blame either. They disappointed us big time.
Presumably all the teams participating in 2011 World Cup w’d be travelling between India, Sri Lanka & Bangladesh at some stage of the tournament so why not UAE (less flying time than flying between certain cities in India!)
…and the recent IPL Charade. Regardless of what anyone says here these Franchises were 200% influenced by BCCI and Indian Government and not merely acting on their own.
So let’s stop talking bull here
