Women on the verge of a cricket shakedown
2 weeks ago - kill innocents in Pakistan because alleged 'terrorism' carried out by occupied peoples, wrapped in your state's longstanding anti-Muslim rhetoric.
Today... gif of brown women hugging.
You're all disingenuous opportunisits my 4 year old niece can see through.
Tbh the funniest part is the suggestion that someone who doesn't play international cricket is aiding the return of (the already returned) international cricket to Pakistan by playing a franchise league (that's in its seventh year).
So here for it.
NDTV will not show video Pakistan has released claiming to be that of Indian pilot. Pakistan has violated Geneva convention with that video & treatment of pilot
The reality is your Hollywood-based PR girl knows you 'must' tweet for Christchurch. But your Bombay-based PR girl knows you 'must not' tweet for the daily hordes of anti-Muslim atrocities in India.
NZ played away tests in Oz in December 2019. They will next play away tests in England in June 2022. That's a 2.5 year gap between away tests.
NZ's last test in England was 2015. That's a 7 year gap between England tests. A generation of players.
- Dambulla unlikely; India unhappy with hotels there
- Hambantota the surprising favourite, but no close-by accommodation + logistical nightmare with no air links. Broadcasters reluctant on Hambantota
- Colombo forecast: not great
There is no world in which Ian Chappell knows one iota about either Afghanistan or Ireland's infrastructure or grounds.
Just like he doesn't know that they constitute the 11th and 12th test teams, not the 9th and 10th.
You won't see too many brides playing their groom behind point off a thick outside edge. But this is no ordinary bride. Massive congratulations to
@tasneemsummerk

@AdamKerrBell
on their wedding. A beautiful day celebrating a beautiful couple ❤️

Are people consuming more or are they consuming the same # of plasters, but in their skin tone? These are also fabric rather than plastic. People aren't looking for injuries because they've found a shade match, bro.
Virat Kohli: "If batsmen are able to reverse sweep you for a six on a 59-meter boundary, you can't do much as a spinner. Looking at the boundaries that are this short, bizarre that it just falls in place with the boundary limitations."

Disappointed that Manto will not be seen in theatres in Pakistan. I was keen as he belongs to both countries equally.

SPORT is meant to UNITE us, not DIVIDE us.
Cricket never discriminates. The bat & ball recognizes talent of the person holding them - not race, colour, religion or nationality. Those who don’t understand this have NO PLACE in a sporting arena.

Proof that no matter what a woman wears/doesn't wear, some loser is always going to zoom in on her with his xray vision and nothing better to do with his cognitive abilities:
If you want to understand Naseem Shah, look no further than his last wicket stand with Shaheen Shah to try and save the test at the Mount against New Zealand in 2020.
Exceptional drive.
What people need to understand is that it's a totally opaque procedure, that, unlike ALL other ICC rules, cannot be found on their website.
What people need to understand is that 'Save Gaza' is political, but wearing army caps of an occupying force is, of course, apolitical.
This is beyond embarrassing.
BJP (not BCCI as reported by
@mufaddal_vohra
) gave 40000 tickets to women to fill the Ahmedabad stadium. But they told them that they will be given food and the match is between India and Pakistan 🤦
International community, including China, have advised both sides to ‘exercise restraint.’ So far, no country has supported
#Pakistan
against ‘violation of sovereignty’ or ‘Indian aggression.’ 🤔

Not surprised most of you are forced to recognize racism when P*ki or N word are used.
The real trick is can you spot constant, everyday racism where you, without evidence, presume guilt in minorities and innocence in whites?
Your inferences always indicate your state of mind.
While it's unsurprising that details of the threat to NZC would not be publicly disclosed, interesting to hear David White confirm they won't be privately shared with PCB (& presumably gov of Pakistan).
Hard to see how this isn't going to impact the two countries' relationship.
Michael Vaughan was cancelled for a racist comment he allegedly made about Pakistanis. Will Azeem Rafiq be cancelled for a racist comment he definitely made about Jews? If not, we’ll know the woke set doesn’t give a damn about Jews, says Brendan O’Neill
My auntie said sometimes people live full lives they deserve, sometimes they go early bc theyre needed as ancestors, and sometimes they're just taken too soon. Chadwick Boseman did so much in his young life, left so much behind for us, & had so much ahead that it feels like all 3
What exactly is curry? It's not a single spice, nor is it the curry tree (though the leaves are used in some dishes). Here's what it looks like in 12 places around the world:
Cricket puts sexual harassers/racists on screen.
Cricketing world: 'It's only banter.'
Ashwin has the match awareness to use the rules against a nice guy: 'Off with his head!'
