Atleast we make full use of our limited opportunities and win matches unlike our neighbors.

Yeah right for example 2-3 Lose against SA in ODIs. or may be I should talk about the win you had against Australia, Zimbabwe, England, Sri Lanka in your Home Test series.

You really have not read this thread properly, Have you ?? Otherwise you wouldn’t have missed Saby’s Post where he said that Tri Series (or the Masala Series) is proposed to by ACB to compensate Pakistan for the lost revenue during the last Test Series.

I may have read Saby’s post or I may not have. That doesn’t matter as I was talking to you, not Saby. What matters is, did you read what I typed? when I said "Indian tour of Pakistan is not a compensation for anything. " I was refering to the Indian tour of Pakistan in Feb. 2004. What does that have to do with ACB proposing anything?

Moving on.

And , No matter what you think, yes BCCI has(so far) agreed to help the Kangal Board of Pakistan. :hehe:

You may want to continue thinking along the same lines but keep in mind the same board that you’re trying to portray as the messiah of PCB was a group of greedy goons a few posts back. i can also assure you that BCCI is helping itself as much as it is helping Pakistan by playing in this series. By your own words, “Sub Paise ka Khel hai.” So i see it as no favor from the BCCI that it agreed to play in the series.

. It’s an absurd Idea only to an ignorant who jumped into the discussion without reading previous posts. Typical Jumping habits shown here. :rotfl:

First you call this tri-series as insignificant because its not ICC approved and then try to merge it with an ICC tour and expect me to not call that absurd? Well genious, the whole point of this series is to play some extra matches and compensate Pakistan for the revenue loss. Merging it with another series which is already guranteed to earn pakistan money with no work done from Australia doesn’t exactly achieve those objectives. Does it?

And where’s the funny in your statment? Why are you laughing all by yourself? I sure don’t hope you start laughing in the middle of a serious conversation for no real reasons in real life too!

Well Our govt does give two hoots about what I think.

Which is exactly why you’re upset with Mr.Dalmiya?

:hehe: I dare Mr. Dalmiya to arrange a tournament in Sharjah.:rotfl: Dalmiya will understand.

Not only Dalmiya, but just about everyone else. I’ll admit. If Pakistan had such bad memories from Sharjah, I too would be making excuses to avoid it.

So From December - 2003 to July-August 2004 is 1 year. Which school did you go to ?

Give or take a few months. The point was there’s enough time to prepare. Maybe you would like to tell us which part of the planning can’t be done from now till the series?

Viola - You said it yourself. Cricket lovers in Pakistan are starved of International Cricket in Pakistan, that makes all the more sense to play that series in Pakistan instead of Timbuktu.

meh. Since when do you care abt cricket in Pakistan? Your whole concern was with the hectic schedule and location of the series. Not with Pakistani cricket fans problems. So stick to your guns. Let me quote myself. maybe you’ll get it this time:

Nonsense. Cricket lovers in Pakistan are starved of international cricket in Pakistan. I don’t see how the absence of international cricket from Pakistan can be equated with Pakistan playing in Scotland. If this series fulfills our hunger, then we weren’t starving to begin with.

Try reading slowly and you’ll understand.

We is Indian Cricket FANs, Indian Cricket is nothing without us fans.

…well Asif, if you do somehow represent the voice of an indian cricket fan, then i find it ironic to see that the indian cricket board is not giving two hoots about the voice of the fans, contrary to what you might claim. Of course you’d like to think that they do, but this series proves very clearly that they don’t …and like you yourself very rightly said “Sub Paise ka Khel hai”. I see that as a contradiction of your own statments b/w. If indian cricket is really nothing without its fans then why oh why has the BCCI chosen the paisa over the fan?

i hear you bragging about $7m..thats it, Calculate the amount given to Players, regional Boards, Stadiums , Salaries etc and see how much you are left with ? Heck we make that much from a Challenger Series in India.

Yet you can’t produce a single bowler worth his sweat. I am convinced. Money ain’t everything. We might be financially poor (a term i use loosely) but our cricket history and records are richer. We can boast of the victories over India more times than you can count the hair on your head. So no sir. i don’t want to enter into a bragging war over money with you. You have more of it. But we have something that not even all of your money can buy.

You have not read his post - Because it is the ACB which wants to compensate Pakistan. Who said Indian tour to Pakistan is a compensation to Pakistan ?? It must be your assumption.

You may want to continue thinking along the same lines but keep in mind the same board that you’re trying to portray as the messiah of PCB was a group of greedy goons a few posts back.

Let’s see - ACB proposes a tournament in Timbuktu to compensate Pakistan for its loss of revenue during Test Series and seeks India’s participation in it to generate more revenue out of it. Dalmiya Agrees and assures participation of Indian Team which already has a hectic 5-6 months of Cricket. Yeah right we are not doing you any favor. Then Why dont you go alone and play the masala series with Australia.

the whole point of this series is to play some extra matches and compensate Pakistan for the revenue loss.

Thank You at least you agree that Pakistan is the major Beneficiary of this tournament.

I’ll admit. If Pakistan had such bad memories from Sharjah, I too would be making excuses to avoid it..

Obviously, you have very short memory. Pakistan made a new record against australia at Sharjah during the Test Series. I am sure that was a good thing to forget.

Give or take a few months. The point was there’s enough time to prepare. Maybe you would like to tell us which part of the planning can’t be done from now till the series?

Playing another series in an already hectic schedule part is very tough.When you go to work, Why do you take a break on weekends ?

Since when do you care abt cricket in Pakistan

I dont. That’s why I dont want Indian Team to be a part of this stupid Tournament.

Yet you can’t produce a single bowler worth his sweat. I am convinced. Money ain’t everything.

Yeah right, Still our Bowler took 400 Wickets in Tests before your Great bowlers. Our Bowler has taken 10 wickets in an innings. Oh btw you should change your statement to Fast Bowlers because our spinners have been wonderful. We won world Cup before you. Our Batsman have broken more records than yours… We have won Series in West Indies without those express bowlers… dont even start now

cricket history and records are richer.

Depends who you compare against.. I would love to see your record against england, West Indies, south Africa, Australia

PS :- nice way to turn this thread into another india-pak performance.
