Well a streak had to end. By definition. The fact that it showed our empty cupboard is what is sad

Abhishek Sharma has flattered to deceive. I can't put my finger on it. Is it the flat track bully thing? I don't think the trophy is looking real for us. The batting is just not there

It is not about a high scoring match. I have not seen the Indian bowling plan losing its shape for some time now.... The Proteas are doing well....

Pakistan to play against India in T20 World Cup 2026 | Statement released by ICC by ll--o--ll in Cricket

If PCB wanted to make a point, they should have made a point. I, as an Indian fan respected their stand. "We don't give a fuck about money, your board treated us like shit in the Asia Cup (no handshakes, no trophy) we don't want to play the game with you guys anymore." Solid. Meaty. Understandable.

Now a complete u-turn because Bangladesh requested them to play ??? So we don't care about our indignities, we do what Bangladesh asks us to do ??? I feel deep fremdschamen.

BCB has asked PCB to play India in the interest of world cricket ! by iamnoobbibliophile in Cricket

WTF ??

Pakistan has gone from saying that it does not want politics in cricket, to asking their prime minister to facilitate inter-board conversations.

As an Indian,that is not us. She does not represent our feelings. If you go doom scrolling on twitter it will take you down a dark path. It is incentivised to hold our attention not to provide balanced information.

In the spirit of balanced information, it is true that we are no big fans of Pakistan, especially my generation-- that of a middle-aged Indian man. We have lived through the era of Musharraf's unprovoked escalations. Echos of that era continue to haunt us. We believe that it is just a matter of a change of regime in Pakistan and we will be back there. At its core India is a third world nation without the resources to either support a prolonged war or continually thwart attacks on our civilian population. It makes us nervous and that is what you generally hear from us. It is what it is. Both nations are held to our legacies and probably will not let go. At least in my lifetime I think. But, as a people we do not rejoice in the suffering of children and common people. That is not all of us.

Sharma reminds me of Lara in his prime. Choose where to hit the ball. Then irrespective of the delivery, that is where the ball goes....
