With that level of pettiness towards their rivals, you have to wonder if Rags has an Indian cousin in the visa department
Pretty deplorable. Modi and the BJP are noxious. Not that the way we treat people is exactly an exemplar. This lad isn’t from Pakistan anyway, he’s from England.
newblueHackneyBlueyeah, and takes 6-8 weeks so was always going to be tight
India apparently do this all the time with Pakistanis/people of Pakistani origin. Made it awkward for the Pakistani team during the World Cup (and particularly media people from there) and the only Australian cricketer to have any visa problems was Khawaja. Seems all a bit co-incidental and downright petty.
Petty ?
I'd say racist
That too. India has the third largest Muslim population in the world. Another Modi govt this year and will get worse. The Indian cricket team is a propaganda vehicle. Fair play to Kohli for resisting at least some of it.
This is likely to be a series whitewash by India!
Did they not even have a dart at a warm up game? Seems mad after months without playing the longer format.
It’s bizarre, seems we learnt nothing from the World Cup.
My Blue HeavenDidn’t take you long.
The usual suspects weren't there that long either, were they?
Although I can watch it, commentators are saying 250 is par, so maybe it isn’t that bad. All depends on whether our spinners can adapt to a turning pitch.
Yea this isnt a bad score, Ashwin/Jadeja/Axar have been great.
For the people with the knives out already, what were you expecting?
