Pakistan will not sign in FTP next tours!

Pakistan will not sign in FTP next tours!

It is clear the business based on cricket has been totally depending on India. May be the main cause of this circumstances as large number of people live in there and they respect and love cricket players most. Pakistan cricket concern on about the plan of the next few year cricket tour along the top level cricket playing countries even they have no tour along-with India. It is natural that as a member ICC, Pakistan has right to raise their proclamation on the decision of last ICC about he home and away tour. All the test playing countries signed up for the future touring plans in 2006 and it was a six-year schedule, will be run out in 2012.

It is natural that Pakistan will raised protestation over the decision. ICC has wiped out the name of Pakistan from the host list of World Cup 2011 that was scheduled to hold in the four countries of the sub-continent. But from the view of security it is very serious matter. Although Pakistan proposed to host their matches in a neutral venue, instead, ICC has distributed all the matches among the co-hosts. It is clear that Pakistan is blaming India about it. But, instead of this controversy, Pakistan should keep its eyes on improving security matter.

Incident of Sidney Test and what will be the Perth (3rd) Test!

During the 2^nd Test, the unexpected incident with Harbhajan Singh-Symonds and the wrong decision of the two umpires makes doubt in Perth Test(3rd). BCCI commanded to Indian Team not to shift Perth.

Australia has achieved 16 continuous test matches wining record by wining the 2^nd test against India at Sydney cricket ground on Wednesday. And this match even this test series will be memorable for umpire Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson’s wrong decision towards India. After the playing of 4^th day, it was being considered that the 2^nd test Between India vs Australia is going to draw definitely. But, at last, it was seen that Australia won by 122 runs. Becoming such as, the main reason possibly the wrong decision of the umpires. In this series, especially in the 2^nd test, the umpires took at least 10 wrong decisions, those all was gone against India remaining one.

The same incident happened in the fist test. In the 2^nd test, Indian first innings, when India came back in their as usual batting style then Australia fell in thought. That innings Sachin Tendulkar did unbeaten 154 runs and VVS Laxman took 123 runs even 9^th batsman spinner Harbhajan Singh took 67 runs, which was intolerable for Aussies specially, for Andrew Symonds. The out of Rahul Drabid and Sourav Ganguly were obviously wrong. In Australian first innings, when Andrew Symonds was on 48, then he was stamping by Dhoni. The umpire Steve Bucknor declared him not out. In that match, there has been taken a protest against Harbhajan Singh for saying ‘monkey’ to Andrew Symonds. However, Harbhajan has refused this objection. And the umpires also didn’t hear this word. After all, after finishing the 2^nd test, the match referee ‘Mike Proctor’ suspended Harbhajan Singh for 3 test matches under ICC three-level regulation. Indian cricket board ‘BCCI’ has applied against Harbhajan’s suspension near ICC. Along with, BCCI has ordered to Indian team to stay at Sydney and the board has taken the decision to reject Australia tour until next hearing. The hearing will be in this current week about the affair of Harbhajan Singh. At present, Indian cricket team has postponed their tour.

On the other hand Indian skipper Anil Kumble has taken opposite complain against Brad Hug to revile him. And BCCI has informed it to ICC. BCCI has also appealed near ICC not to umpiring with Bucknor and Mark Benson in next test match. But ICC has appointed again Steve Bucknor. They have said that any country couldn’t decision about umpire that who will maintain match.

The Indian cricket fans have staged protest and burned Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson’s picture and effigy. So, Indian tour has become under trained.
