Thanks to woke overactiveness, no one can blame India for “showing solidarity with the American athletes who do same” and paint it as some kind of political stunt. This event will reach the right circles in US. But what it actually means is that it opens a window for Indian players to show protest in future ICC events for things that matter to Indians, like sale of advanced weaponry to pakis by US or Kashmir terrorist events.

If the ICC allows protest of BLM issues, then they should theoretically allow protest of other issues like Balochistan freedom struggle, Xinjiang, Hong Kong etc during IPL.
On the contrary it is going just as I thought it would. The team and its woke management are getting bricks from both ends, on one side people are angry and upset at this meaningless virtue signaling for a controversial movement half way across the world when our multi-millionaire cricketers cannot utter a word against the barbarity on hindus in Pakistan & Bangladesh. And on another side the left-liberals are also calling it meaningless and hypocritical asking where was the bent knee for the so-called "persecuted minorities, death of democracy blah blah".

Here's Burqa aunty doing her usual rudali on WaPo. It is unfortunately behind a pay wall but if someone can post her chest beating here that would be great.

Posting in full.
Opinion: India’s cricket team took the knee. It was meaningless and hypocritical.
Taking the knee — which first gained the spotlight in 2016, when then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick controversially knelt through the U.S. national anthem — has become a global symbol of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. It is a simple, universally understood, powerful sign of mobilization against racism. It upholds the classic idea that sport, with all its visceral competitiveness, is about something noble in the end. In the 1968 Olympics, nearly five decades before Kaepernick’s act, two African American athletes, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, raised their fists in the air during the American anthem to drive home a message on human rights.

So why did the sight of India’s cricket team — possibly the 11 most loved men anywhere in the world — dropping to the grass in a shiny Dubai stadium, in support of racial equality, trigger incredulity to start with and utter cynicism by the end?

Because in taking the knee — and it now transpires that it was on the orders of the board that manages the national game — they were not being vocal defenders of civil liberties. In fact, given that they have rarely, if ever, spoken on any contemporary issue of social justice in India, they were being precisely the opposite. In following instructions to endorse a campaign that has virtually no manifestation in the Indian context (caste discrimination would be more relevant), the cricketers were picking a topic that was distant and thus “safe.”

Given how tumultuous a time it is in India — with ferocious public debates erupting over everything from the pandemic to the spiraling violence in Kashmir — there is much to say and do related to the country’s own domestic realities. The cricketers could have thrown their unparalleled influence behind any cause dear to them. One example is how the former Bangladesh cricket captain made a blistering statement on the spate of attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh.

Had they continued to remain silent, as they usually are, no one would have noticed. Everyone was too engrossed in the faceoff with Pakistan, an adrenaline-thumping sporting encounter like no other in South Asia. It’s when they suddenly decided to borrow from the playbook of American football players to make a superficial show of support for an issue far removed from them that their opacity on more relevant matters suddenly became striking.

Intriguingly, India’s left, right and center seem united in believing that the gesture smacked of the worst sort of tokenism. Even this might have ended with mild opprobrium if it were not for what happened next.

Pakistan walked away with the match, and as happens so often with big-ticket playoffs, Indians were heartbroken. Some people online started making coarse and lewd comments about the defeat. The person who got the worst of it was 31-year-old player Mohammed Shami. Toxic, brazenly Islamophobic comments were left on his Instagram page, suggesting that he was a traitor, one who could take the next flight out to Pakistan. Shami was singled out in a different way than other players, and the language used for him was directly related to his being Muslim. In fact, he is the only Muslim on the team’s playing lineup for this tournament — a fact that would have been irrelevant had the hate directed at him online not underscored his religion.

Now there was a real parallel with the Black Lives Matter moment. What happened to Shami was similar to what happened to Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho, British footballers subjected to horrific racist abuse online after missing their penalty shots in the Euro 2020 finals earlier this year.

If the Indian team taking the knee seemed cosmetic earlier, after what happened to Shami, the gesture began to seem worse than gratuitous. It felt hypocritical. Were they not going to take a knee in some way in support of their comrade?

Virat Kohli, India’s captain and a pugnacious and brilliant sportsman known to be aggressively loyal to his team members, had displayed generosity and grace in the manner in which he congratulated the Pakistani team on its big win. Photographs of him hugging Mohammad Rizwan, whose brilliant play delivered the Pakistanis their victory, went viral and made people in both countries feel warm and fuzzy. In the subcontinent, where an India-Pakistan match is often called war by another name, Kohli had behaved as grown-ups should. So his silence about his colleague on the day was bewildering and disappointing.

Amid mounting criticism, many prominent cricketing names denounced what Shami had been subjected to. But as that happened, Kohli was silent. Did he need the go-ahead from the cricket control board? Was he wary of toxic comments being left on his online pages? Was he worried about the cost of speaking up even on this most basic of issues?

In this silence, you could hear the deafening meaninglessness of the Indian cricket team taking the knee.

Once again folks - taking the knee is a meaningless gesture for India. And BLM has zero impact in US (cops still follow same brutal arrest SOPs, just that they do it more carefully), let alone India. But if americans and their shills like Burkha feel the pain enough to write a long :(( the purpose is achieved. We are way too inward looking, when it comes to social issues. We should start being louder and preachier than the preachers of the west. That is my only point
Tanaji wrote:I don’t think taking a knee is a good idea. Firstly there is no relation, and this BLM can bring nothing but trouble and opens up the doors to other leftist agenda. Also far more likely that the Pakis being Pakis will use the platform to demonstrate Kashmir support. And don’t be surprised if the people behind BLM support their Kashmir agenda…
Tanaji, really? Now we should worried about whether pakis will do same to us? This is one area where the parity ratio in the matter of power is 1:1000 to the point that Rameez Raja, their head bozo himsef said Indian PM can crush them. This is as good as the Niazi surrender photo at Dhaka. If we cant use that sort of firepower and threat and still be worried about them, then that is sad. We should not be worried about log-kya-kehenge - we can make gestures that highlight issues in xinjiang, hongkong, tibet etc as american athletes do in russian winter olympics etc in cricket, a field where we really dont need help of anyone to beat down the opponents.

This BLM is a safe opening shot - it has world wide branding and significance, regardless of what Barkha barks. If it has gone through with approval, the team can do a lot of stuff and ICC cannot object. Already they have worn camo-caps to support Indian troops in the past.

As Henry Kissinger unwittingly said, India needs to turn its third-eye outwards from its current inward view

Quinton de Kock pulls out of match against West Indies after refusing to take the knee
South Africa wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock has pulled out of Tuesday's Twenty20 World Cup match against West Indies, citing "personal reasons". The decision comes a day after Cricket South Africa (CSA) issued a directive to all players to take the knee "in a united and consistent stance against racism".

For the pakis, a cricket match against India is always a ‘jihad’. The India-paki match started with ‘taking the knee’, and ended disastrously with ‘kufr toot gaya’. We went down on our knees and forgot to stand up and fight. It wasn’t cricket.

The Indian cricket team failed to show solidarity with crimes against humanity far closer to home, like Hindus being persecuted in beediland, instead stooopidly choosing to highlight a faultline that neither enthuses nor interests anyone in India and is essentially an empty gesture aimed at pleasing some white racist pseudo seculars who have no skin in the BLM and the critical race narrative and it only helps further the white racist agenda that has, for centuries, always benefitted them with entitled and liberal privileges.

Kneeling’ is a phenomenon that african amerikis have followed since the civil rights movement to show an inherent lack of respect for the national anthem and the flag of the US, and so, why would India or the stooopide BCCI even need to go there. Especially when India enforces a law prohibiting disrespect to the Indian flag and the anthem

And if the south african team also did this sickular drama, then the orders to do this very stooopide thing came directly from the ICC or at the very least had the benign blessings of the ICC.

Why did the BCCI fall into this cesspool of a political trap, especially when the pakis refused to kneel

Also, let's see how many other teams playing this tournament kneel

Well, the match went as expected. It is BCCI's clout that they put us in the weakest group with only 2 other strong opponents and now we have been comprehensively defeated by both of them. More cricket and less virtue signaling the next time is all we can hope for.

gyan from the net onlee
Sorry, just cannot agree with you

none can deny that kolhi's team has improved tremendously and performed much better

from a 10 wicket loss, they have come to a fantastic eight wicket loss.

and shame on everyone trolling kohli for losing a match.

if not for him, we wouldn't know how to celebrate Diwali/Deepavalli!

the guy had a strong family history of this ailment.

his brother(s?) reportedly also have similar issues.

he was in a home gym doing his daily fitness regime, not into any type of power building or preparing for a competition type of program

very unfortunate about what happened

a few high profile doctors have already given their gyan but no one has claimed knowledge of details or commented specifically on the fitness regimen that was being followed by the deceased.

so, it may be a tad unfair to lay the blame on an entire industry for a few isolated incident(s) which also included high risk factors

Is it high time to remove Mr Kohli from test and ODI
The trend of Indian Captains dictating terms to board/selection committee/other team members/coach selection has a long history including those at the helm of BCCI currently having indulged in similar habits.
To bring a change in such well entrenched system takes a lot of effort : take for example Dhoni's call to an RP Singh(unfit slow with hardly any match practice) during ongoing test series in England which the selection committee acquiesced to.
Reports now Kohli doesn't want R Ashwin playing even at the cost of loosing a match
He has destroyed many careers : picking Kuldeep on a wet cloudy windy Edgbaston wicket, or Jaddu and Ashwin on a rainy windy Rose bowl or keeping Karun Nair (when in red hot form) out n bringing Hanuma Vihari are unpardonable.
Great cricketer but a poor leader and doesn't listen to reasoning, we will keep loosing every tournament under his leadership.

ODI one can make an argument sure but to remove him from Test Captaincy or to argue that it has been disappointing is ridiculous.

India has finished the year at Number 1 in 5/7 years he's been captain after being Number 1 for 18 months TOTAL in our history and has never been anywhere close to as good in away countries as it right now.
Kohli loves attacking with seam bowling and that has done wonders for the much maligned Indian pace arrack which is now among the best if not the best in the world.

Performances like the Indian Test team has put out over the past 4-5 years were could only be dreamed about in wretched 80`s-90s.

In terms of overall domination only Lloyd's WI and Waugh's Aus have been better over a similar 5-6 year span.

Every captain has to make tough decisions.. Some work, Some don't, No captain in cricketing history is blameless when it comes to bad choices but the overall performance of the Indian test team Kohli era has been nothing short of brilliant.

Also how many times will people beat the same Karun Nair drum??..
The dude had one great innings in home conditions but after that has showed nothing to continue him in the 11, Plenty of players have had bright starts but couldn't continue, It's no big deal

Vihari on the other hand was selected on the basis of exceptional Ranji performances (averaging close to 60) for many years and while he hasn't been world class he has been a sure shot better than Karun and had big innings in both Aus series wins.

Also if Kohli didn't want Ashwin playing why was he picked in the T20 squad?.. Something that was a surprise pick mind you, If the captain doesn't want a player they aren't picked.. As simple as that. Just baseless media speculation.

VK should deservedly lose T20 Captaincy and maybe the ODI captaincy too but not in Tests

^^^Sure
Look at team selection decisions
Australia win was more Rahane and bowlers in Mr Kohli's absence.
Great home run started during Kumble's guidance and he removed Jumbho for being ?? too overbearing.
And that tour of Eng in India was not on dust bowls but more strategy and good play.
And Viharai has not set the stage of fire so to speak.
Lost Test championships within 3 days for being insistent on both Jaddu and Ash to play(if Ash paly so will jaddu)
Recent Eng exploits again not captaincy but more individual performances and bowlers doing tricks and the opening pair.
Beating Eng/NZ et all in India on spin friendly tracks!!
SA tour will his test surely

Nobody self flagellates quite like Indian fans...

Do you think Aus, Eng, NZ fans sit around complaining about winning only on " seam friendly tracks" huh?
Do they complain about how Williamson or Root can only lead them to victory when its overcast and swinging??

No they don't.. They take the win and go home.

Whereas all you hear from Indian fans is spin friendly this and dust bowl that, Here's the thing it is no more of an advantage than a seam friendly wicket and completely within the rights of the home team, the fact that our own fans think of spinning wickets as a cheat is ridiculous.

You gotta take the wins with the losses, If the loses are solely due to his bad decisions and captaincy you can't just turn around and say that the wins were due to individual performance or XYZ

If you're gonna complain about Jadeja or Ashwin being picked for certain games then have to give them credit to fast track talents like Bumrah and Pant straight into the test team even without much first class experience and after they were termed "limited over specialists".

As I said when everything is said and done this team over the past 5-6 years is probably the 3rd best in recent cricket history after Lloyd and Waugh's sides... That should count for something.

There were no dust bowls in England and Australia. These were fair and square wins on their home grounds against a full strength team. To add to that, it was under the harshest Covid restrictions the white Pakis could throw at us with each province dreaming up its own quarantine laws. To suggest these were flukes is Paki- ness of the highest order, right there with those who claim the recent wins agains Scotland and Afg are fixed. I don't understand why we Indians cant seen to enjoy a good run of cricket dominance both on and off field and have to do drain inspector report?

If Kohli can be faulted is because he tends to lose tosses and cricket is a game that depends on that unduly. Other thing is that he is not a good T20 captain… he wasn’t in IPL either.

If so how can Pakistan host the Champions trophy in the first place. the security issue of hosting it comes later.

ICC wants to hold as many tournaments as possible because it is seeing viewers slip away to T20 leagues. Plus since India - Pak are unlikely to play anywhere else it wants to maximize the number of games they can hype up

I feel that Bilateral Limited overs cricket is on its way out There will only be 3 things in the future.

but Akshay SG Saar,

the question is specifically about champions trophy and Pakistan hosting it. If the last one in England was the last one, then how can there be another one in 2025 hosted by TSP no less?

It seems ICC is trying to make more money with more of ICC tournaments and we might be moving to a scenario where we might have multiple squads atleast from indian perspective to rest people from burnout with all the cricket that is being played.

ICC has no continuous leadership or decision making process .. It pivots to wherever the current head wants to push it towards

It has continuously gone back on decisions it previously took and changed formats/rules etc at the last moment.

The Champions Trophy was canceled previously as well and then came back again and now it seems they want to do the same.

The World T20 used to happen every 2 years then got shifted to every 4 years and now we're gonna have 2 in 2.

The number of teams in a tourney keeps jumping between 10,12,16 etc etc based on whatever they feel like at that moment.

England for some reason got 2 Champions Trophies and a World Cup to host in 6 years and yet when it came to awarding ICC Test Chp final it again went to the Pommies.

The point is that when it comes to the ICC.. Don't expect any continuity or logic.

As far as CT 2025 goes it may very well be a consolation prize for these canceled tours to Pak recently.. Something that Ramiz Raza can boast about and get off NZ, ECB's backs but when the time actually comes it will probably get shifted to UAE etc

The World T20 used to happen every 2 years then got shifted to every 4 years and now we're gonna have 2 in 2.

The number of teams in a tourney keeps jumping between 10,12,16 etc etc based on whatever they feel like at that moment.

England for some reason got 2 Champions Trophies and a World Cup to host in 6 years and yet when it came to awarding ICC Test Chp final it again went to the Pommies.

The point is that when it comes to the ICC.. Don't expect any continuity or logic.

As far as CT 2025 goes it may very well be a consolation prize for these canceled tours to Pak recently.. Something that Ramiz Raza can boast about and get off NZ, ECB's backs but when the time actually comes it will probably get shifted to UAE etc
Thanks for explaining the details Akshay SG Saar.

for the woke Indian cricket team, only black lives matter and not Indian ones...

Isn't this is the very same @BCCI, which had ordered halal only meat for its players.......



BCCI should have ordered players to observe a 2 minute silence before commencing Day 2 of #INDvNZ test in remembrance of 26/11 bravehearts and victims but the dolts would rather 'take the knee'.

Absolute zero conscience
