1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,640 The veterinary science university, The veterinary 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:19,520 science university, or or just. Go to the actual Medical 3 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:51,440 Sciences veterinary. This is the First India thing 4 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:19,080 that is that like corruption India, I love it. 5 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:27,480 Anyway, I'll tell you. I'll tell you. 6 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,920 I'll tell you because as soon as you head out of the new airport, 7 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:45,400 airport All India Institute of Ayurvedic Sciences. 8 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,840 Next. In the Prodigal Son turn, 9 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,080 Messiah gets a second hundred in successive. 10 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,480 In romantic style, the whole of Bengal are on their feet, not. 11 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,080 That important. He's gone the next ball. 12 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,320 The dream has diminished for Carlos Bratwick. 13 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,720 Favourable scenes here. Pakistan. 14 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:19,520 Ho Chao, Bangladesh Cricket Board. 15 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:46,400 Cricket Board. PCBK President. 16 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:45,000 I. Famously as of February last 17 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:57,840 year. They got Ek do hum. 18 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,240 There is a sub stack called Broken Cricket Dreams who has 19 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,640 done an analysis of the last five years of all of the boards 20 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,080 and all of their earnings and all of their, you know, 21 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,400 financial reports. And they have said that the 22 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:19,480 board that is least, least dependent on India for its 23 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,080 revenues and profit is the Bangladesh Cricket Board. 24 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,840 OK, now they make their profits on their investments, you know, 25 00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:31,680 whatever locally to be here, but they are the least dependent on 26 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,040 India for touring because that has almost nil like almost no 27 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,200 impact on their. Property local market results 28 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,560 compared to most of these other countries they have. 29 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:48,920 A are even Mohammad said this now on on our part only he it is 30 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,960 a very it is a ruthless money machine. 31 00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:57,680 Yes. Yeah. 32 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:28,320 So I want to ask. This question OK, what does 33 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,040 international cricket exist for? Like who does it exist for? 34 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,120 Who does it serve? What is the point of the sport 35 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,120 at this point? I mean you want the the ideal 36 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,520 answer or do you want the answer? 37 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,280 At this point I'll answer. I want the answer both right? 38 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:54,280 So what do they exist to serve? There is no, I think there is. 39 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,400 We cannot define international cricket as one thing anymore 40 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,160 because I think whenever international cricket is played 41 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,000 involving India, it is there to serve the interests of the 42 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,040 Indian political machine. And outside of that, then we can 43 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,920 have discussions. And outside of that, when it 44 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,400 India is not involved, then we can talk about the health of 45 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,960 cricket and the, the, the, the watcher, you know, spectator on 46 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,000 the ground and all that. But when it comes to India, the 47 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:33,120 reality is that the cricket is basically an an added, you know, 48 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,440 part of the the body politic of whatever the current regime 49 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,440 wants to do. That's what I think this is. 50 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,040 Definitely ICC events just to serve the. 51 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,560 BCCI, ICC events are for. So that's sort of thing. 52 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,640 So ICC events involve India. It Test series where India plays 53 00:06:54,640 --> 00:07:02,920 involves India. Australia kid dream 2208. 54 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,280 Now, the reality is today, if an Indian team goes to play a tour 55 00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:17,080 in Australia, yeah, England, because they know that the money 56 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:22,400 that they can earn is so, so large, they have incentive to 57 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:28,040 make pitches in such a way that they, if they do not completely 58 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,840 favor India, they should at least, like be tilted toward 59 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,320 them. And, and, and, and I know 60 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,240 Australia, England Mirror, mirror cricket #1 sport, cricket 61 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,040 is a sport. So #1 sport cricket is a 62 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,760 mainstream sport. But my goal is to have a good 63 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,840 game. It's not like Australia, you 64 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:56,840 know, Australia and Australia, right? 65 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:04,800 So India team 232 benefit score Australian cricket more benefit. 66 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,240 So what the just follow the incentives. 67 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,880 So. So the reason I'm saying all 68 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:15,640 this is that unlike W Indies or Australia of the past, even if 69 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,720 India becomes the greatest, even even if India somehow breaks 70 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,960 their current record of seven consecutive Test wins that 71 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,120 includes Bangladesh to like 16 consecutive test wins of 72 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,360 Australia, I would still put an asterisk next to it. 73 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,280 That is my honest view because the incentives lie in making 74 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,400 sure that India wins and the incentive lie incentives lie for 75 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,840 everyone. So there. 76 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,640 That is why the World Cups are scheduled the way they are 77 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,960 scheduled champions. I mean South Africa 27 World Cup 78 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,280 8 minute Tumko has elected 2003 just a pitches Omega 2003 cup 79 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,440 pitches were better friendly but many over it will be flat as I 80 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,680 don't know whatever you know flat as well. 81 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,040 I don't know, but basically that sorry. 82 00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:12,440 Just the BCCI Cup a lot gets spoken about this unbeaten run 83 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,280 in these last four years in across multi nation events. 84 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,480 If two matches rocky and all of that right. 85 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:24,040 A lot of it has to do with this being a decent type with all 86 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,560 that heavy but also a lot has to be attributed to the way 87 00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:34,400 tournaments, the way like 2023 World Cup made the greatest 88 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,360 tournament ever without them winning the final. 89 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:43,200 Tum Ek venue le lo you pick Chennai in the tournament and 90 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,920 look how Chennai Kavik behaves in India based on which all this 91 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,440 India plays. If India plays Australia and 92 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,080 Chennai, Chennai track will turn on that day. 93 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,480 If India plays Afghanistan and Delhi, Delhi. 94 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,520 Is a faster track. Delhi is a faster track and they 95 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,280 keep doing it. Not that the team needs it again 96 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,600 and again. Probably Shami, Bumrah and Siraj 97 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,680 will do well on most but they still keep doing. 98 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,360 It in. The T20 World Cup, we saw that 99 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,920 and the same Delhi wicket behaves very differently. 100 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,800 When other teams play, they pick a different pitch. 101 00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:29,040 Then you are very I'm. Sorry, so Bumrah, Shami, Siraj 102 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,560 are very good bowlers, one of the best group of bowlers that 103 00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:34,600 India has had. I agree. 104 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,280 But I don't know man, I don't know. 105 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,760 I don't know if if if it's an equal footing, if everything is 106 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,280 like, if truly neutral settings are that, I don't know how it 107 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,360 will be. T20 World Cup that they won last 108 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,480 year. OK great side Bumrah cheat code 109 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,440 house tournament man all that. Agreed that semi final Guyana 110 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,120 wicket. If you look at how that track 111 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,080 behave, Knee height spinners, go ball Aksar Patel. 112 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,800 Nagar by the. Knee height. 113 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:16,000 But Guyana is. Semi final India, whereas 114 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,800 Afghanistan, Afghanistan versus South Africa, whether it is 115 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,400 happening in Guyana, Afghanistan and South Africa, whether they 116 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,760 would get a match in Trinidad or Guyana, they don't know till the 117 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:32,640 day they reach the semi final. So and there is a completely 118 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,960 lottery of get less than 24 hours to travel to that venue 119 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:45,320 and then play that. Nonsense. 120 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:57,840 The interesting point Leicester City 2015, which is what? 121 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:05,920 What kind of 500 to one That makes a sport amazing, right? 122 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,760 When a Leicester City wins the Premier League, that just 123 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,320 elevates the sport. Now imagine had Afghanistan 124 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,680 trade in Guyana, there was a decent chance that they could 125 00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:17,000 take on South Africa and they could be in the final. 126 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,960 You know that is what makes actually if you truly care about 127 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,880 sport, you will truly keep it neutral. 128 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,960 That would be. But miracles happen, Uncle 129 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,880 responds. If you listen to Ashwin speak 130 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:39,800 ridiculously, we call a cerebral and all that, he speaks of how 131 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,520 he's looking forward to this game. 132 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:48,000 There is no hype around the World Cup these days because 133 00:12:48,720 --> 00:13:01,400 Char matches India versus Namibia, India versus USASRA 134 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:12,760 matches tournament Italy. This is the attitude. 135 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,040 And it's not that these dream stories do not happen in this 136 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,440 sport, right? Despite all this gatekeeping, 137 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,280 cricket still throws up all these stories like USA reaching 138 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,160 the Super Eights on their first attempt. 139 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,920 Last time they almost even beat South Africa in the. 140 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,920 Last 2020 World Cup what involving the so-called 141 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,640 associates? Nepal almost beating South 142 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:42,360 Africa, Netherlands beating South Africa, Netherlands was so 143 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,640 much fun. So ideally like to your 144 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,400 question, ideally the sport should be serving the interests 145 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,360 of these contests, right? Like for the first couple of 146 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,280 times we are expanding a tournament, it should be about 147 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,040 celebrating all these teams. But sadly it won't be that. 148 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,520 Sadly it will always follow the Blues commentators. 149 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,120 Commentators who will do no research on what these 150 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:12,880 opposition stories are like. AB Italy team doesn't have a you 151 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:19,080 go randomly H1B visa bundle Italy but Italy team is full 152 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,720 mostly Gora team. That is what these people want, 153 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,800 right? That's what we want. 154 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,840 So we have such a. Racist view of the world. 155 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:45,120 So completely full of even experts. 156 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,000 That's OK. Now, so OK, so from here I just 157 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:54,840 want to now we're just talking about BCCI, all powerful like 158 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:12,080 powerful BCCI or Government of India, Nepal, Selekar, Sri 159 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:25,200 Lanka, Selekar, Pakistan. By not just Bhageshwar. 160 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,280 So this it started from Sangeet Som right? 161 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,080 Because sangeet som famous. Writer, by the way, he's. 162 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,480 He's the most writer. Yes, writer. 163 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,520 Yeah, the writer. Writer is a favor anyway. 164 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,600 Yeah. So. 165 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:50,280 Accused of spreading fake videos during the 2013 Muzaffarnagar 166 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,160 riots, famously, and lost his seat. 167 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,800 Wants his seat back. You know, in the next elections. 168 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,640 He criticizes, He doesn't criticize Bangladesh or the 169 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,960 Indian government. He criticizes Shahrukh Khan. 170 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,440 OK, so this is very critical, right? 171 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,600 Because I watched so just before that, I watched for some time 172 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:17,840 Vikrant and Unfiltered. And he he made a point he's 173 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:23,280 like, well, if he was in CSK, would you get the same level of 174 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,360 height, right? Would you get the same thing? 175 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,480 Like he mentions that and you know, Nikolas kind of rejects 176 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,680 this hypothesis and they sweep it drug. 177 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:36,600 But he makes he makes he's like, you know, you're Ms. Dhoni K 178 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,840 team metaphys Pele or Agarici SK Mehote Tukya. 179 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:46,040 Yeah, same level. And I'm just like, yeah, you 180 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,520 know, Shahrukh is a very important critical point of this 181 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,600 criticism, right? Because that's where it begins. 182 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,280 And there's a history, of course, of them targeting 183 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,640 Shahrukh for a wide variety of reasons. 184 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:07,440 Episode with Shahrukh that and then 2008 Bombay attacks 185 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,319 happened and then Shahrukh's team get targeted because 186 00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:14,920 Shahrukh can show a but the show playing for Shahrukh's team 187 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,720 became a thing back then. So it's a, it's a revisit to 188 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:25,240 that basically. And this, this current 189 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,000 administration actually go ahead and be I. 190 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:37,520 Will in that game versus Delhi Daredevils. 191 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,000 But this is still not a like for like situation even with that, 192 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,240 because then then you had some sense for tempers running high 193 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,120 relations had frozen with Pakistan and all of that. 194 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,840 Tabi, that was very close to something that happened. 195 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:58,480 Izbar, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh taking refuge in 196 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,360 your country which makes it even more absurd. 197 00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:04,520 You say that the Bangladeshi former Prime Minister can take 198 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,240 refuge here but take random cricketer though IPL not even 199 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,080 representing this country cannot enter this country. 200 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,920 And yet you want that same boat to believe that the when they 201 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,520 are playing under the Bangladeshi emblem, it's this 202 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,440 country automatically becomes safer for you. 203 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,160 Doesn't Bangladesh have more grounds to say that we won't 204 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,480 play in India than India did with Pakistan during the 205 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,080 Champions Trophy? The Champions Trophy happened. 206 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:41,120 Prepare right? I actually want to the biggest 207 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:45,320 Bangladeshi sports minister said that it is about the pride of 208 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,800 like honor of our nation. So they might just not come to 209 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,600 the World Cup if they're not given. 210 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,480 It's like a choice to play in Sri Lanka. 211 00:18:52,880 --> 00:19:04,640 And I want that to happen. And guys, we'll go back to the 212 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:15,560 discussion. Favorite imaginary like like 213 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:24,240 tournaments? Imagine Pakistan, Sri Lanka, 214 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:29,080 Bangladesh, Nepal. Why don't they get together and 215 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,240 create their own league? And if they kind of pull their 216 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,120 money, they can compete with the BCCI if they do. 217 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,240 I mean I know this both are hypothetical but seriously if 218 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,760 there was 1 enterprising like businessman in one of these 219 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,040 countries who could do that, I'd be please so many a. 220 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:56,160 Key Point A Key A Point B Mohammad Assam ke episode or. 221 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:05,000 Yeah, yeah, he loved it on record. 222 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:11,360 I mean, it is. The problem Ruling class India. 223 00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:18,200 Chodo Pakistan Corrupt or small minded? 224 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,480 If say ever a Super League of that kind, these boards plan. 225 00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:34,360 Eventually these leagues have to go to the ICC to get recognition 226 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:42,280 right and ICC checkmate. Greatest cricketer of all time. 227 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:58,280 25 kilometers. Hindu victim, India victim. 228 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:11,760 I mean, I'm sorry. Victim OK reality yet so so I 229 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:17,920 can't believe like the lack of anticipation like knowing Kibai 230 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:25,840 ugly my name World Cup hair. It's so short sighted. 231 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,800 And The thing is, it's very clear. 232 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:34,680 Keep the rest of the BCCI, whatever Jobi right there 233 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,120 administration that they don't know about this. 234 00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,800 They've leaked the news key. They were not consulted. 235 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,400 The IPCIPL committee was not consulted like nobody was 236 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,960 consulted. This just came out of nowhere. 237 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,000 So we know where this decision came from. 238 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:54,560 But what is being pushed is the narrative that oh, India may 239 00:21:54,560 --> 00:22:00,000 sublog united Bangladesh may Tami Iqbal has come out and he's 240 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,320 said, you know, key, the board should take a more long term 241 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,960 interest. He's basically saying, key, you 242 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,800 should look at the interest of cricket in the country, not just 243 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,480 political interest. OK. 244 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,160 And then, you know, someone in the board comes out and 245 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,440 criticizes, criticizes him saying that he's an Indian 246 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,800 agent. And then, you know, there's a 247 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,560 lot, there's a wide variety of opinion in Bangladesh and this 248 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:29,160 is considered a negative. Like this is basically a place 249 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,880 that's having more Democrat democratized opinion and a wider 250 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,120 variety of opinions where people are speaking up and going 251 00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:41,480 against like unilateral decisions or Maria sub Japan, 252 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,240 the best they can do is leak to the media. 253 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,000 We were not consulted that there was no committee decision. 254 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,920 Like that's it. And this is considered a plus 255 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,120 point that all of these people have just completely folded 256 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:59,960 players to like, you know, like players like, I understand that 257 00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:03,160 there is a risk to their career. You don't think there is a risk 258 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,320 to Tamim Iqbal's career? You don't think there is a risk 259 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,800 to other players who speak up? Like, why are we only? 260 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:15,360 Why are we giving them a pass just because, you know, we think 261 00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:17,560 like their careers or their broadcast deals will be 262 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,240 affected. So what? 263 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,720 So what that happened? Like so many people who speak up 264 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,800 with you can't find a single person to speak up and say 265 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,480 anything against, like the chaos that's happening in this 266 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,920 country. I do think Matlab they stand for 267 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,240 anything better in any sense, but I don't even believe that 268 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:45,520 anymore. So can you? 269 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,320 Can you imagine one like marginally liberal progressive 270 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:57,800 cricketer in this team except like? 271 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,720 Literally I cannot think of anyone else who this. 272 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,120 Gambhir T20 side is like definition of hollowness. 273 00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:29,960 A lot of them are either too young to have a voice. 274 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,080 I don't think they will risk anything and the so-called 275 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,480 senior players are probably they are all like complicit in this. 276 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:49,200 I should share that before before he was famous but after 277 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:57,000 he had Shivam Duba yes, yes that is also one but before he was 278 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:05,040 famous but after he had played for India once he had posted 279 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:11,760 stories about the. Farm farm protest. 280 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,080 A lot easier than speaking about Islamophobia in this country, 281 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,760 because no, again, that's correct. 282 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,240 Correct. It's a lot more. 283 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,960 Difficult for, I mean, clutching at straws. 284 00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:37,480 Take a young manual did it, but whether he would do it right 285 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,320 now? And even and even like even even 286 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:48,880 a simple thing as as soon as the IPL was cancelled in 2020, he 287 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,120 was the first person to have announced here you should go and 288 00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:55,040 donate to him Con Foundation and feeding. 289 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:33,600 And I'm sure we but Shahrukh Khan 290 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:41,680 literally like or Ani just like Q Ani to earlier point right to 291 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,640 Ani. Why did Ani go to a random 292 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,840 pundit to ask about Shahrukh Khan? 293 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,360 These talking points are probably set from above. 294 00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:05,880 And then service basically, and then the narrative social media. 295 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:16,080 I wouldn't even be surprised at this point. 296 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:38,480 As a ICC ruling head, you should be happy, right? 297 00:27:49,240 --> 00:28:01,960 But don't honest. Question. 298 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:36,600 He is like he is. Most of the He gets a lot of the 299 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,080 scoops, right? Or at least allegedly. 300 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,440 He knew before Gil was being dropped. 301 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:51,840 He knew that he was dropped and yeah, he's being rewarded for 302 00:28:51,840 --> 00:29:07,200 being such a fanboy. First Joanna, First 3 para 303 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,240 Something unprecedented happened during the birth Test of 202425. 304 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,240 India still needed seven wickets to beat Australia when, at the 305 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,800 end of the third day, cricket journalists in boxes chimed with 306 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,640 a press release from a PR firm that manages communications for 307 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,160 quite a few franchises, including those in the IPL. 308 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,880 This was number ordinary press release, a tool otherwise meant 309 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,680 to convey news for wider publication. 310 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,400 This was an opinion piece crediting coach Gautam Gambhir 311 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,760 for backing Virat Kohli, for promoting KL Rahul to open the 312 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,360 innings in the absence of Rohit Sharma, and for selecting 313 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,800 Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy. 314 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,440 It observed how Kohli was seen hugging Gambhir and proclaimed 315 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,160 emphatically that questions raised against Gambhir after the 316 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,640 home whitewash at the hands of New Zealand had all been 317 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,680 answered. Jaspeed Bumrah, the captain of 318 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,880 the team and the bowler who delivered India the win, was not 319 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,720 mentioned even once. This was quite an extraordinary 320 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,720 event in cricket, more so Indian cricket. 321 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,800 A coach being pushed as the face of the team. 322 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,120 So or like like how I say skipper. 323 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:22,560 But yeah, abhito to to what is Indian cricket for was the 324 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,760 question right. This is what Indian cricket is 325 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:25,320 for. Yeah. 326 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,920 So cricket is like what? Well, what is cricket for, 327 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,800 right? Who does cricket exist to serve? 328 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,400 So I had one, just one additional thing to say about 329 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,040 this. He used a lot of Indians when it 330 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:43,040 comes to the ashes vehemently. You know, there's a sense of 331 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:48,280 like ashes, they'll always be like, it's not even like England 332 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,080 don't even have the results anymore. 333 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,600 Why the BGT is bigger than the Ashes. 334 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,600 He BBQ all time. Given all the colonial baggage 335 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,880 of the Ashes and all that all that acknowledged today they 336 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:08,080 don't rule the sport that today the Behmath who is risking the 337 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,760 sport and it's monopolizing the sport. 338 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:17,320 The one entity which thrives outside of this Indian monopoly 339 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:23,360 is the Ashes. So in there is a sport 340 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,080 conversation around this sport which is as mainstream as it 341 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,000 gets. Othumara Athletic silica New 342 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,960 York Times silica saree English mainstream First sports and. 343 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,520 Frankly, Rivalry, rivalry, rivalry. 344 00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:08,440 Sentence me India and it's still so the constant total gate 345 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:15,680 revenue. There were shorter test matches 346 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,360 so that happen. There were more than a close to 347 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,720 1,000,000 people even this year. Forget the quality of the turn 348 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,840 sport, how England hypes it up and makes all of their cricket 349 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,960 about the Ashes. He is a problematic but. 350 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:37,680 As an Indian, England is the. Problem. 351 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:50,160 But Australians or Englishmen, you could have created a rivalry 352 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,480 and you could have monetized it, which you did not. 353 00:32:52,880 --> 00:33:02,400 You had an opportunity and you and yet you are trying to like 354 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,360 sneak it in through these ICC events and all of it. 355 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:16,600 So that that is something that I always see that can be seen to 356 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,360 take like Australian commentary around this whole Ashes. 357 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,880 Sarah Blind Sports may acknowledge there is a colonial 358 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,240 history, there is a white person. 359 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:32,720 But when there is someone, say Michael Vaughn, commenting 360 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,800 anything about the Ashes, you will see that there is a even 361 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:42,040 the bigotry of the banter. There is a fair degree of 362 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,320 honestness to the honesty to gain that discourse. 363 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,800 But whenever the moment it becomes about an India series, 364 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,120 right, all the commentary somehow is catered towards What 365 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,520 will get me the most social media engagement? 366 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,400 What will get in more Indian fan engagement? 367 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:17,239 Dishonesty.

Tweet here Tariff. 402 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,800 Vietnam, Bangladesh, that person is not going to switch over to 403 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:33,320 even if the tariff goes down to 10%, let's say suddenly those. 404 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,920 So this pipeline gets disrupted for a lot longer than just the 405 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:47,640 numbers, the deviations. Are the point deviation. 406 00:38:49,720 --> 00:39:04,040 Is the point. Crossover kind of like because 407 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,960 what we're discussing, but why crossover? 408 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,560 But have you heard? Anything about how Sheikh Hasina 409 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,680 can live in India and be given refuge but seek asylum in India 410 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:19,160 in some sense and. It's in the comments on all the 411 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,240 YouTube shows now it is in the comments. 412 00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:25,760 There's like every seven or eight comments are like one 413 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,800 about Kian. Do you guys are keeping Sheikh 414 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,960 Hasina? You've interfered in Bangladesh 415 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,520 politics, right? That's essentially what it is. 416 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:35,960 So that's. The Bangladeshi comment, right? 417 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,000 That's the comment from Bangladesh. 418 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:37,880 Yeah. Indian. 419 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:43,600 Indian. Sheikh Hasina Joy She was pro 420 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,600 India tumne Sheikh haseen ko Bhagaya to Abujo Bangladeshi 421 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,920 regime that is basically pro whatever pro Pakistani, anti 422 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,440 India, however you want to define it. 423 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:58,600 So now it is all changed. So we like we are, we have 424 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:03,920 Sheikh Hasina just like US still has the the king of Iran so as 425 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:08,400 to say living in US who was like the son of the Hershah, right. 426 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,840 So that's how we have. Sheikh Hasina Zulfowali. 427 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:32,200 Follow up question ex country how can both of? 428 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,360 These. Coexist in the same universe. 429 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:44,840 Logic. I think a clarity Stan Milan, I 430 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,760 think I don't. I don't remember who was the 431 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,040 Bangladesh sports advisor. There was a lady. 432 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,200 There's a small one enough short one enough minute type of clip 433 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,240 only. But that clip started with the 434 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:59,640 note that sport is supposed to foster good relations between 435 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,160 nations and, and all of that. And it's like. 436 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:11,600 Sense of arrogance or hubris? Indian foreign policy debacle. 437 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,000 It is because of you know, like never get high on your own 438 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,560 supply. They they danka bajra danka 439 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,320 bajra in K fans is under Danka bajra danka bajra or who seems a 440 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:26,560 circular circle Jeff Chalta Rao up up Joanna Now you're seeing 441 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:35,120 the US May is that or or him like maybe minute Twitter will 442 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,520 share how did Indira Gandhi deal with Nixon and how what we are 443 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,840 doing right now. But look, are we again, sorry, 444 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:45,840 political, but US name Russian oil tank, right? 445 00:41:46,840 --> 00:42:02,000 China statement here. This is again international. 446 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,880 Not that I'm not saying that you need to support Russia, but you 447 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,600 have to have a line that you pick. 448 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:19,120 Yeah, but the. The reasons for this to be go 449 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:23,400 far beyond what we know. There are like personal 450 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,640 interests at play with respect to the US, which is why the US 451 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,960 is basically bullying them and getting away with. 452 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,880 It we we have some idea of some of the personal interests, 453 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,280 right? Speculative, even. 454 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:41,280 If not, I know one thing that this guy is very conscious about 455 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:46,160 his image, how he's perceived. See many again, BJ Padman Hazaru 456 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:51,560 Arvind Kejriwal. It does not have Arvind 457 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,920 Kejriwal's image because that's Arvind Kejriwal. 458 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,080 Like we know Arvind Kejriwal is that like it? 459 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,120 Like he people like he's a. Software accessible person. 460 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:05,520 But Agar Modi ke saath kuch like throws a cross. 461 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,400 So that is going to be a big plot. 462 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,160 Like you, Modi has this larger than life image that he has to 463 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,560 protect. And the moment he is in the same 464 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,960 vicinity of Trump, he knows Trump is volatile. 465 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,640 He can do anything and he cannot risk that. 466 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:26,000 And I think even if like like this is where Modi's, I mean, 467 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,320 let Nick again, let nick a statement. 468 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,600 He Modi just needed to make one phone call to get that India 469 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,040 U.S. economic deal and he did not call. 470 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,280 That is why he did not call. Yeah, because The thing is like, 471 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,440 I think this has gotten worse in the last two years, especially 472 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,080 like with regards to cricket, like just bringing it back to 473 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:54,560 cricket for a second, if you sorry, but there is there is 474 00:43:54,560 --> 00:44:00,040 like a progressive panic and chaos in the way cricket is 475 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,160 being run. Forget even about like these 476 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,680 political decisions with this is very obviously political. 477 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:12,600 But every single decision from like selection to, you know, 478 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,920 everything is pretty much just based on what is popular at that 479 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,680 point of time. Right to India, Australia series 480 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,640 stuff. We lost that series Muskebah. 481 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,320 There was anger towards which Sharma and Virat Kohli and they 482 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,440 were subsequently ousted from the team. 483 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,280 Just basically looking at the online anger kya like who was 484 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,960 that directed towards? They were ousted from the team. 485 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,920 This again like short term thinking abhi kya horai T20 486 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,240 team. May you see Sanju Samson got 487 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:52,520 suddenly became super popular after his CSKCSK move and you 488 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,200 know he did the whole bana come to eat and all of that. 489 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,680 He did and it became super popular and it became really 490 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:04,680 difficult based on like social media trends against Gil and 491 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,400 towards Andrew Sampson. Karun Nair that makes it. 492 00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:11,080 Yes, exactly. Karun Nair also is a. 493 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,600 He's basically just a representation of like. 494 00:45:15,240 --> 00:45:16,400 Beneficiary. Actual media. 495 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,480 Selection within a month. Beneficiary and victim both. 496 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,000 Yes. Yes, So like can't like it's 497 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:29,640 almost like, you know, really strange sudden changes, sudden 498 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,600 decisions are being made and it's all to serve like just the 499 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,480 immediate, like whatever is popular. 500 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,240 So this in certification of Indian cricket that these people 501 00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:42,760 are doing is just like on, it's on another level and it's just 502 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,440 going to get worse. And when you create this much 503 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,080 instability in a team with regards to selection, it's not 504 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,200 even about who you select or don't select anymore. 505 00:45:51,240 --> 00:45:55,400 I'm sure like if you select any of the top 5% of players, you 506 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,880 can get a pretty good team like Indian team that can do well in 507 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:03,080 any tournament, right? The problem is this is going to 508 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,040 create so much instability within the team. 509 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,200 It's going to show up in their performances. 510 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,080 But it's. Limited to cricket by the way. 511 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:14,760 So so just quickly because football say so. 512 00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:18,760 I just remember so Pele Priya Ranjan Das Munshi was the chief 513 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,760 of AIAFF or Ruskebaad Praful Patel. 514 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,720 Both were not BJP right? So after the the this current 515 00:46:25,720 --> 00:46:29,520 government came, they made Kalyan Choube the AAFF chief 516 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,360 subreddit. Indian football just you know, 517 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,800 it's like finally a man who will do something blah blah blah blah 518 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,520 blah. And this year in the first year 519 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,480 when the Indian like Premier Division league. 520 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,800 Will hasn't happened. Hasn't happened and for the 521 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:50,760 longest time there was like 100 like most of the foreign players 522 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,040 that play for clubs have been loaned out to two other clubs 523 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,360 internationally because they were not sure the league was 524 00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:03,840 beginning year situation or The thing is when? 525 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:08,360 Remember, conservatives, especially conservatives of the 526 00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,840 nationalist hyper nationalist variety have no vision for the 527 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,400 future because most of their hopes, desires, passions, 528 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,360 everything lies in the past in in some sort of imaginary 529 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,200 grievance and victimhood that they they faced in the past and 530 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,040 uske pehle kajo greatness. And they're just trying to go 531 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,280 back. So, so one of the worst things 532 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:36,040 that you can do is is put people who have zero vision like or 533 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:55,800 India saw saw medal 203620262024 and you look just a cricket, the 534 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,520 World Cup are India. Hi, it's a sport. 535 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,760 It is like how can you be so sure? 536 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,160 And this is one of the problems, right? 537 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:13,800 Boria Majumdar, I think when India lost this Test series to 538 00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:18,520 South Africa recently, Boria Majumdar said Final frontier 539 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:23,480 white ball cricket, Who are these Genzis were going to watch 540 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:39,880 Test wicket. The. 541 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:55,880 Thing is, smash Pakistan. Everybody. 542 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,240 They'll smash Italy, it'll stash USA. 543 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,880 So if you have watched T20 cricket, one thing that you will 544 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,520 learn is that randomness the other T20 cricket right even in 545 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:20,000 the Asia Cup as. That you eventually pulled it 546 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,640 off and then you just played all this to the gallery, which is 547 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,760 why final, because they won it in that fashion. 548 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,400 They overreacted. It was that sense of relief, 549 00:49:31,720 --> 00:49:39,200 like overcompensation for all of that. 550 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:48,160 But in all of this, ICC Kajo, you can just clearly see how ICC 551 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:53,480 events get handled when India plays when hosted by India 552 00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,000 versus when it is hosted by the rest, right? 553 00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,160 The Women's T20 World Cup happening in England schedules 554 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:04,480 are out a year in advance, tickets are sold, organization 555 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:08,320 ticks out there. There is a even with the T20 556 00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,080 World Cup in the West Indies, they had a proper anthem, 557 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:15,200 tickets were sold in advance that you messed it up because 558 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:21,320 you hosted games at 9:00 AM T 20 matches, which is completely 559 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,040 doesn't make sense. The same tournament would have 560 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:27,200 crowds at night. So you can clearly see that 561 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:31,640 whenever India host 2023 World Cup 4, the Women's T20, Women's 562 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:35,760 50 over World Cup recently and this coming tournament scheduled 563 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,400 are in the month for the government. 564 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,200 So you can actually see that unlimited PESA is just an 565 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,120 accident. They accidentally stumbled upon 566 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,920 a big market and they're making money out of it. 567 00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,160 They have. The moment thing they have. 568 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:56,400 Zero vision, I mean zero vision and this is this is another I'm 569 00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:03,760 sorry, are we Indian EV cars and Indian car brands are not able 570 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,680 to compete with Chinese brands in Nepal and you know, these 571 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:11,640 countries and and and global the PCB sector. 572 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:18,680 Me any cashier, some Nepal baby the corner Mahindra like 573 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:25,960 literally there is no like dependent goel Leloya Bansal 574 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,920 Leloya Jobil. You start a founder just some 575 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:34,000 family business, you don't have anyone with any like innovative 576 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,720 new ideas. These are just trying to make 577 00:51:36,720 --> 00:51:41,320 the next buck and in and more so in cricket, Matlab cricket 578 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:47,120 members, we had liberalisation liberalisation bought in brands. 579 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,920 This country like cricket and this country had a massive 580 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,000 population. That's it. 581 00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:57,920 Shining stumps like egg innovation. 582 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:06,440 Sorry. To to to India's credit to stem 583 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:12,920 Jagmund Almir, he was at least OK to expand the game And like 584 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,240 I'll go back to Richard's first question. 585 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:24,480 What does the game serve? Who does the game serve and 586 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,640 everything. I think it's cancer clear and I 587 00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:32,320 keep see it's essentially there to serve the propaganda of the 588 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:38,560 ruling party backed by the money that is poured into broadcasting 589 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:43,320 by Mukesh Ambani, right? I mean, what else is there? 590 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,960 It's it's it's just essentially that right or the Buchani. 591 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:53,280 I mean, there are anyways talks that the revenues of the ICC 592 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,920 might take a hit because the broadcasting revenues will go 593 00:52:55,920 --> 00:53:03,360 down. And who's the 1st loser in this? 594 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,520 The associate nations. Associate nations depend highly 595 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:12,280 on the money that is sent out. By the IC pressure as a year 596 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:16,440 World Cup for a 20 teams, which is now most people see this as 597 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,160 like we are doing a favour to these country by expanding it to 598 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:24,440 20 and the pressure is that they have to perform well because if 599 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,320 by chance they do not then I don't know how the next World 600 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:39,840 Cups will be and like like this needless pressure on them it'll. 601 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,640 Be magically they end up doing well. 602 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:53,400 This is despite all that. Yeah, I think, I mean, has 603 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,720 anyone ever looked at the football World Cups and think 604 00:53:56,720 --> 00:54:02,040 that the participation of so many new teams, it takes away 605 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,520 from like the viewing experience? 606 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:10,320 It does not I. Celebrated, right? 607 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,880 It is celebrated that Kurosawa reaches the football World Cup. 608 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,840 It is celebrated that the smaller countries so this. 609 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,720 This is this is what surprises me when Ashwin says something 610 00:54:23,720 --> 00:54:27,360 like this, right, Ashwin? Like, do you not see like the 611 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,400 soccer World Cup this year will be 48 teams? 612 00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,800 And the and the soccer World Cup is not without write offs. 613 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,240 Now MATLAB, you see a lot of five Nils, 6 Nils. 614 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,360 And you will see more in in with with the 48 T World Cup, we'll 615 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,840 take more of those games, right? But you'll let nobody finish. 616 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:55,760 Yes, and maybe a problem in yeah colonialism mindset. 617 00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,520 How will they get merit? How will they get good enough to 618 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,080 compete against the big boys? By playing them right and which 619 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,400 is not a pathway you're planning to offer at any point. 620 00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:28,640 So and T20 Nepal. It's quite apparently out there 621 00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:37,280 or. Won't let him say this, but I 622 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:38,880 don't know. He lets him say. 623 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:48,160 Correct both of you. Combox So Kisina was a combox on 624 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,960 a video of a discord. This was this felt like a good 625 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,000 discussion. I tried it. 626 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:58,200 I I just I I'm sorry, but I it was not a. 627 00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,520 Good discussion when someone starts. 628 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,640 With biography, but I mean is that the cricket book like? 629 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:40,280 Yeah, first Empire classmate or something. 630 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,080 Matchmate, Batchmate. Matchmate. 631 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:46,200 Matchmate, that's what if you see the solo video of Jared, he 632 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,880 says that the reason they brought him on is because he has 633 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:55,040 his IIT contacts, which includes like access to PC capital and 634 00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,240 things like. That and Robin Uthappa, because 635 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,480 obviously Uthappa has that star cricket credentials, right? 636 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,520 Not just that. Yeah, see, you do understand. 637 00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:08,400 What do Indians do when they go to the way Indians become 638 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:13,600 investors Like every Indian in Dubai is essentially doing a 639 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:29,760 well paid job and I remember friend and I'm like on stage 640 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:45,000 like reception pay and. It's just. 641 00:57:45,320 --> 00:58:08,000 But I I have honestly like after and these guys had I don't know 642 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,920 how did how did these guys? Become Victor Trumper. 643 00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:17,840 It was either Victor Trumper or one of those all time great. 644 00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:28,640 And where do we get these names from Jared? 645 00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,960 Maybe. Who is Vinu Wanker? 646 00:58:50,040 --> 00:59:12,640 And The thing is, The thing is. 2 cricket to create the history 647 00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:22,360 part, but cricket the program, that's a problem, right? 648 00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:33,760 But anyway, I think we we are at the end of this day in terms of 649 00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:40,600 this forecast. I think Lok frustrated sound 650 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,200 creativity need a podcast with frustration there. 651 00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:51,520 Yes, if you genuinely go ahead. I just want to say one thing OK 652 00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:59,360 Joe Hamare creative or well researched episodes, please go 653 00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:03,320 listen to the WL WPL preview and go watch the. 654 01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:12,120 WPL are you guys ashamed of me? You're on to. 655 01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:25,000 Us actually offline? Seriously. 656 01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,280 Type. But if you seem to care about 657 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:10,640 this sport and there is a specific because we are planning 658 01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:13,280 to speak about Bangladesh and we didn't do that enough. 659 01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:19,120 My only point is that Bangladesh hate that cricket, this 660 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:25,880 attitude, that political space that this Bangladeshi identity 661 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:30,600 has become one where you want to punch down and cricket move or 662 01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,960 service. I think it's like kunglu. 663 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,640 All these stereotypes get floated and then this is an 664 01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,080 extension of that. If you can't see any of that and 665 01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:40,720 you cannot call out this bullying. 666 01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:46,600 I'm noticing an key Agar. If you're a Bengali on social 667 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:50,200 media and if they find out that your ancestors are from the East 668 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:57,440 Bengal, so E Bengali like not that key Hindu credentials, but 669 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:14,560 East Bengali, but South Africa. And you know, people are writing 670 01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:18,800 articles about how unlucky we were, how like data shows that 671 01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,680 we should if if only a few things were on our side, we 672 01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:25,040 would have won this series by two nil as opposed to losing it 673 01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:26,960 by two nil or even with New Zealand. 674 01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:32,760 So Mera's suggestion he ended team killer BCCI keep our job up 675 01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,400 honest. Ojao Banado Jaishao captain or 676 01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:40,600 UCSR khel tapan match other Harvey get to like desh ka beta. 677 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:45,560 They should represent or tell me before we get to yoga. 678 01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,800 Sorry, fat shaming, but Bangladesh, you were last 679 01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,080 thought. Envy, Richa. 680 01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:02,080 My thoughts I watched I watched live sports coverage a little 681 01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:04,880 bit. One of the things that. 682 01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:10,680 Creme de la Creme. One of the things that Boria 683 01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:15,400 said was, yeah, why are they trying to bring politics into 684 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,280 sport? But yeah, why? 685 01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:34,040 To bring politics into sport. I'm I'm I'm completely on 686 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,000 Bangladesh side for this one purely. 687 01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:41,920 Because I don't think that there is the other side that you like. 688 01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:55,280 After this, whatever most of his or thing has happened, there is 689 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:59,360 clear danger to safety of the other other other 14 cricketers 690 01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:05,120 right? So why would they be sending 691 01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,880 them to India? I mean, I understand Calcutta, 692 01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:13,120 probably safest place to travel at this point in time because. 693 01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:44,200 Team game. Progressive Content, 2000. 694 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:50,760 Four 2004 of India Pakistan to Zaheed Khan was interviewed by 695 01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,240 one of the Pakistani TV channels. 696 01:04:56,760 --> 01:05:06,160 Oh fuck guys. Fuck RCBO. 697 01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:10,480 Mumbai Indians. Is the last over? 698 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:16,680 Oh man, seriously? So so interview said very pro 699 01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:18,600 shift. Anything in in his interviews 700 01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:20,280 back then? I mean, that was a different 701 01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:21,320 shift. You know what I'm just telling 702 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:32,370 you? Sports there was Sports content 703 01:05:32,850 --> 01:05:50,480 is Rev. Sports Bolona, please. Actually out of touch. 704 01:05:50,600 --> 01:06:04,160 And I was done with that. For some reason when your team 705 01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:08,360 refused to travel to Pakistan, they accommodated them with a 706 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:12,000 completely new venue which was UAE was not even a Co host 707 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:16,080 originally in this tournament which automatically naturally 708 01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,240 has a Co host. This is not for anyone else. 709 01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:22,400 Sri Lanka were stated to be Co host since a long time back 710 01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:28,640 whenever the hosting rights were awarded. 711 01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:48,600 Bangladesh and Indians carry this right through across the 712 01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,960 world, right in the West. If you go to a Bangladeshi 713 01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:55,400 colleague, if someone has, they carry, they borrow this 714 01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,360 condescending attitude that they have towards that sports team, 715 01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:01,720 towards that country, towards the actual human beings when 716 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:04,640 they meet someone in the US or anywhere in Europe. 717 01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:17,800 And that annoys me. To run by so many Bengalis and 718 01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:22,440 Sanghi Bengalis. It's not very long. 719 01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:29,200 I think mere his, even if you take the narrowest view, right, 720 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:38,400 like the incompetence, the the incompetence of putting Jayshah 721 01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:43,440 in a potential position where it would be so difficult for him to 722 01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:47,680 come out looking good in this, Like he's he's either going to 723 01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:53,800 disappoint his own domestic drabbit fans of this regime, or 724 01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:57,200 he's going to look really stupid on the international stage, 725 01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:01,560 right?
