ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[BALIK]

^^^ New Zealand Cricket took the decision to postpone the series just few minutes before the first ODI was played, because they received some information from the NZ government that there is significant threat of a terror attack. The entire contingent is now preparing to leave the country. Big disappointment for the cricket fans in Pakistan, because the Kiwis were visiting that country after a gap of almost two decades. Babar Azam also put up a statement in the Twitter, saying that the pullout was not justified.

This is very bad news for Pakistan. Because no country is interested in going to Pakistan to play a series. After a long time, a big team like New Zealand is interested in playing with Pakistan. The government of Pakistan should tighten security very much. As a result, no untoward incident can happen. The Pakistani government may have been indifferent to this.

Looks like PakvsNZ tour is cancelled.

I don't know if all this is planned or who are behind this but one thing is for sure that there is no security threat in Pakistan.

You can't refuse to play the game with baseless argument unless you are afraid to lose.

Its a bad day for cricket. Shame on New Zealand Cricket board.

The below tweet by Sohaib Akhtar says it all...

@Umer bhai This all was preplanned because now ICC and Big3 heading for IPL they need more money and this series was not profitable for them. On other note we have many conspiracies against Pakistan after USA defeat in Afghanistan this was also big factor in this all.

It is well understood that Pakistan's security threat is one of the most frustrating aspects for its people. Pakistan had literally recovered from the inability to host home games when NZ postponed the series. There are many people who are not happy as they want NZ to respond in a clear way. Not sharing the threat and taking unilateral action is not the way the world works. Doesn't this response constitute a source of humiliation for Pakistan and disgusting?

Security is far more important than any match or series. However, the strange thing is that how come they felt their is security threat just before the match ? They should have not come to pakistan if they were not comfortable playing here.
Also they now want to abandon the whole series without give explanation of who gave the news about the threat and all the details. I think there are many unanswered questions here.

This all is clearly indicating some very shit conspiracy because there is no threat or anything like this they are showing we are powerful, and we can do these things when we want BCCI is powerful board so ECB have nothing to do against them just taking some good money, but Pakistan is really critical for last 2 decades, so they are paying price for this all.

This is not the first time we are witnessing this. England called off the South African tour  and then Australia did the same.
Similarly New Zealand decided not to play in Pakistan and we might see that England also cancel the tour to Pakistan (England tour of Pakistan in doubt as ECB reassesses security arrangements).

I am sure sooner or later, ICC, BCCI and ECB will regret for all this manipulations when they will be left alone.

The explanation will be New Zealand might have got some intelligence information that there will be a terror activity in Pakistan, if not why do you think they would cancel the tournament when the entire team is in Pakistan and their neighboring Afghanistan is in turmoil after radicals taken over power and it is their genuine concern that something bad is going to happen.

Earlier Sri Lankan cricket players were targeted and for them they show how escaped with injuries and no one lost their live. So if there is intelligence information about a terror attack they will pull their player.

No, you Endians should stop spreading your propaganda !! Its well known fact that Sourav Ganguly called the NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and told her to cancel the tour.

Tough time for cricket every where but ofc let's play the blame game and look for conspiracy theories

Even if your argument is true, why can't they tell the source of this information.  All the details of this intelligence information should be shared with Pakistani security intelligence. If there is a real threat, then of course they should not play the series.

No please, Sourav Ganguly don't have guts to call the NZ prime minister.  It happened at the upper level 

 The below picture tell you exactly how it happened.

I'm surprised to see that the entire series has been called off. Yesterday I placed a bet on Pakistan to win the match. All of the bets are voided now and the bet amount is refunded. PCB gives higher class security to the visitor nations. I still remember that how PCB had given the security to Bangladesh cricket team while they visited Pakistan in the last year. I will address it as a bad move by NZC if the series has been cancelled for political reasons. Was there really any security issue?

BTW this is hilarious for anything wrong in Pakistan the official and unofficial stance is MUDI did it.

The financial loss is big for PCB and Pakistan reputation has again been tarnished. I do not understand what intelligence input was provided to  NZ that they cancelled the match just before the toss. If there was an issue with security then NZ should not entered Pakistan in the first instance.

And even more funny is the fact that the left-wing in my state consider the prime minister of New Zealand (Jacinda Ardern) as their favorite leader, and when I debate with them they always say that instead of Mudi, they prefer Ardern as the PM. And many of the Pakistanis were praising her, for her regular appearances in hijab, and for the fact that she had increased the immigration to New Zealand from Islamic countries. Now almost overnight, the situation seems to have turned upside down, and the same people who once showered praises on Ardern are badmouthing her.

They should stop this habit of making Modi responsible for everything.

I wonder if one day they will say that all the babies born there , are buz of Modi

Shifting the responsibility doesn't work. New Zealand cancelled the tour, because of the chances of a terror attack was high. Probably the CIA or some other foreign agency informed the New Zealand government about this. Otherwise, why should they pullout at the last minute? There should be some credible reason. And before blaming Mudi, Pakistan should analyze their own record. Their recent involvement in Afghanistan wasn't very noble. If the security situation doesn't improve, then I am afraid that more and more teams would refuse to tour Pakistan.

How is the involvement of Pakistan in Afghanistan is not noble ?  Why you close your eyes when you see what Indian armed forces are doing in
Kashmir's.  Indian cried when they saw united state moved out of Afghanistan and they will cry again when the Kashmiri's will get the freedom.

After recent New Zealand decision that they are pulling out of this series is had very bad impact even it's not happening first time because we watch many times things like this happen but without any solid proof and just on political basis it's murder of gentlemen's game by really gentle persons in cricket.

Currently, situation was very clear, and many kiwi players was also happy with this tour and security arrangements but still this happens mean now we have no manners just money and political influence is too much working around the sports globe.

Well.. you also feel that the tour was cancelled for political reasons. IPL may or may not have played a part in this decision. It's like the Kiwi players need IPL and the fat paychecks it offer, much more than the IPL needs these players. Apart from a few like Trent Boult, Kyle Jamieson and Kane Williamson, there are very few New Zealand players who can't be replaced with others (and these players were not part of the NZ squad to Pakistan). So it is not the right thing to do if you blame the IPL for the pullout. Also, if that was the case then why should they wait until 5 minutes to the start of the play for the first match?
