    India team RR thread

    But Australian tail is soooo much better than India's. Cummins bats at 9! While India has bunnies. The difference in lower order alone will cost India a match or two.

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    CT was scrapped for good. Then revived years later. Thats why the 8 year gap.

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    Basically there's precedent of Pakistan travelling to India for a one-off semi final in 2011 or even the whole world cup in 2016 and 2023 and there were no security issues, while there's no such precedent of India travelling to Pakistan. India has not visited Pakistan since 2006. Thats why...

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    Yeah I am sick of group stage or prefixed ind pak games. There should be no guaranteed matches between the two. Let it happen randomly by chance if both teams make it to late stages.

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    Finals in any case won't be moved out of India, just like 2011 ODI WC when the semi final was in Mohali and Pakistan travelled to India for the game. Pakistan had played all their games outside India until then.

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    Most probably Pakistan won't make the final, so final would remain in India.

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    2026 T20 WC is in both India and Sri Lanka, so Pakistan will just play in SL. 2031 ODI WC is in both India and Bangladesh so Pakistan will just play in Bangladesh. Only the 2029 CT would be in jeopardy as India is the only host atm. So whatever happens in this tournament will set the way for...

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    ICC and therefore the cricket boards would suffer huge drop in revenue. And ICC would find itself in legal battles with the broadcasters as well. They sold the rights for India games including Ind pak game.

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    One of the options ICC has is to move the entire tournament to another country.

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    All a pretence. They have to show that they are absolutely opposed to it, otherwise it would look terrible for them domestically. And it's a natural reaction as well. Nothing wrong with it. Anyone would react like this but eventually they'd accept reality and soften their stance. Why? because...

    **Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

    Curator is expecting/hoping for the match to go into day 5. So expect a bouncy road with some movement initially on day 1 and cracks late on. Nothing much otherwise.

    India team RR thread

    He won't make it unless child birth happens max by this weekend. Even then he might stay back for 4-5 days after birth. So 1st test participation looks quite unlikely as of now.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Rohit Sharma is not travelling to Perth. Doubtful for 1st Test. Earlier it was all rumours.

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    BCCI have said from the beginning that only 'if' they get approval from govt can they send the team. They waited till now because govts don't decide on these things like 8 months in advance. ICC was already prepared for this scenario from the beginning. They prepared 3 seperate budgets. One...

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    I don't mind India forfeiting. They should. However if they do that, everyone (every board including BCCI) loses a ton of money. So almost no cricket board wants India out. That's the problem

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    India Pakistan are enemy nations. There is also a lack of trust. Ind-Pak are still fighting a proxy war, if you don't know, given the terror attacks happening every week in Kashmir. This matter is way out of BCCI's hands too. In fact, the BCCI president visited Pakistan last year during the...

    India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

    You can dream whatever fantasy you want. But in reality there will be no CT without enough money or profits. Cricket is being played for money first and foremost; rest is secondary.
