*Official* West Indies Tour of India 2018

Mr. Glass
So apparently Azharuddin was given the honour of ringing the bell at Edens the other day to kickstart the match..
I once made everyone sitting around me uncomfortable when I worked at Azhar's hometown. They were all real proud of his flick shot and I had one of my moments where I wanted to **** on him. I said something random like if he hadn't taken match fixing money, karma wouldn't have made his son have a biking accident. I know I should probably feel bad about saying something that ****ed up but I still don't. That's how ashamed the whole fixing scandal made me feel when I was barely 10 years old.

Unchanged xi in a dead rubber with a talent like Rutherford sitting on the bench. Can these selectors and team management just go and do one? They've lost the plot.

Just a shocking set of team management decisions. I'm going to steal someone's post from Caribbeancricket.com as it says exactly what I think:

"First, Darren Bravo in T20 but not tests where he has a better record - and his record overseas is way way better than his career average.

Ambris favoured in tests over ODI's, where he is much more accomplished in the limited format.

Powell x 2, Hemraj, Samuels not scoring much runs in the ODI leg yet your one extra batsman on the bench can't get a game. Hemraj dropped for the final ODI and replaced with a bowler when you struggling to make runs. Hemraj also dropped instead of Ravmon when he looked more likely to score more runs than Ravmon. Rovmon has a glaring weakness against spin and still played all 5 games.

McCoy dropped for the 4th ODI - (he was injured for the other games going forward).

Shai Hope called up as a replacement and played before more accomplished T20 players in Rutherford and Pooran.

The T20 team taking blows in the first 2 game, you have Hope, Ramdin not making any significant contribution yet Rutherford can't get a game?

No specialist openers selected for the T20 leg!!

They all need to be FIRED!!!!

Is the poorest set a decisions I ever see in a tour!!"

If you had said the above, imo it is worse than taking money.

Being an immense pick to someone isn't worse than selling out your team and breaking the law.

Every time I see azhar on screen it makes me puke. How he's wormed his way back into the good graces of the establishment and worse, the public infuriates me. That time he was invited to be part of a panel of "great" Asian cricket captains, the numerous feliciations, him winning elections, his appearances in the ipl post match shows where everyone would treat him like some forgotten hero, that god forsaken movie... It all makes my blood boil. **** him.

That's the main positive of Hansie dying, we never saw this sort of **** happen to him, and he at least admitted his guilt.

Even with Pakistan I don't think Malik's been reintegrated into the establishment in the same way.

Eh, hansie got a movie made about him where he was made out to be a misunderstood hero too. And he was voted into a list of the 10 great south Africans or something iirc.

Oh **** I forgot about that.

Sure hope that if it happens to an Australian player we don't do that sort of **** (and no, what Warne and Waugh did was not quite the same)

To each his own, OS. I just felt that being happy that someone had an accident was worse than corruption. But do not want to argue on that.

It can be spun the other way too, but morons like me as you said understand it this way. So no point on us discussing this further.
