***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2023/24

Isn't he only due a 25‰ fine for wearing an unnaproved thing? There was no mention of banning a player if that previous post is accurate.

His first attempt at 'all lives matters' shoes apparently ICC said he would not be allowed to take the field if he wore them?

Sanctions are clear though, only a 25% match fee ban to wear anything he wants as 2nd offence, unless ICC can block him before game?

Makes sanctions pointless if he can then do a 3rd and 4th time for 50% and 75% match fee and then nothing written for 5th offense

Why not just allow it though? They've allowed, even encouraged human rights-related protests recently. Remember the kneeling before every game?

Maybe I'm missing something (probably am) but I don't see why this is so different

I am saying that should be banned too. You either ban everything or you let these things go. You cant let some and not others.

A 2.5% fine? That seems low

There should be a blanket ban on all political statements, symbols and gestures.

We can start by banning the BCCI until they fire the political nepo baby who held the WC Final in a stadium named after his politician Dad's mate and the PM of India.

I mean... wouldn't the sajdah be banned under a blanket black-and-white approach? That's not going to fly for a moment with Pakistan, for example. Some reason and flexibility has to be employed here.

Would you also ban CA’s PM XI team ?

Excellent idea

He just wants to ban all cricket. He is getting into the Xmas spirit.

If we expand the definition of "political" enough almost anything would be banned. Every country's national symbol on their uniforms to start with

The only thing the cricketing world will be United behind is banning Sweet Caroline from all England games

yeah this is classic “politics and sports should stay separate” dialogue from some individuals here while there is a century of history across multiple sports that it always is interconnected

It's always a case of "politics and sport is fine until someone makes a statement I don't agree with, then it should be stopped"

I don't get why ICC is anti-Palestine though. I know very little on the geo-politics of it all but are India and Israel buddies or something

Hazlewood has caught Cummins on 242 wkts, so race is on for 250

I'm picking Cummins to do it this Test as he's due for a haul after only taking 6 wkts in last 3 Tests (Hazlewood has taken 12)

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nice and sunny out there,

 

[Son Of Coco]

While we're at it can they ban 'welcome to country' as well as it's not cricket related

QLDer...

So Pakistan have gone with four pace bowlers but omitted their fastest and gone with all fast-medium. Makes sense.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Catches win matches!

Gotta take those
