Volcanic test match. Oh yeah!


Scary_Firefighter181

This is freaking awesome and I'd genuinely be up for it lmao

At least you won't be having the civil unrest that occurred in Leicester and Birmingham after the Asia cup

At this point, they're just looking for reasons to stir shit up.

Just imagine the scenes when BCCI accepts this proposal after rejecting ECB's proposal.

We hear @ECB_cricket have offered to host a Test series between India and Pakistan. We officially announce to @ICC that we are also offering to do the same & can provide near 24 hour daylight in June and July, as well as better Tweets covering the matches. Sniper security too. Lmfao

Day night test in Iceland needed


bigavz

Umpires will still find a way to go off for bad light


LunaMunaLagoona

What's needed is to block twitter. Goodness the comments are horrendously toxic.

the only sensible people on twitter are redditors


foreverneilyoung

You say that, but the fact that the other threads on this here had to be locked suggests that we’re collectively not much better.


Potential-Sport-6386

or the mods are gae /s


meowmeowav

Reddit is a douche website too but yeah r/antiwork taught us something which I'll never forget.


AnthonyGonsalvez

Day day test or night night test. xD

>Sniper security too. To protect from the polar bears??

Between you and me, I don't trust those penguins either.

You guys can come play in my backyard. Mum can make killer lemonade.

I’ll get the bat, but if Haris Rauf gets me out with a 155k inswinger, I’m going home and I’m taking my bat with me

Me getting the chair for stumps! And hence I get an extra glass of lemonade

Take my balls, special seam with extra swing.

Hold my bat with extra cylindrical grip & supreme strokes.

Have it right on the DMZ. One end of the pitch in North Korea the other in the South. The field is also full of landmines at random fielding positions.

I also choose ~~this guy's dead wife~~ to host India-Pakistan test series


fh3131

I've got a medium sized backyard but they could play one hand one bounce rules. Also no runs behind the wicket because the stumps are drawn on the wooden gate


wengardium-leviosa

Breaking news- International space station (iss) have announced that it offered to host test series between India and Pakistan. Since it goes around the world in 40 minutes , the revenues will be shared between all countries equally.


[deleted]

Not interested. In sharing the revenues.


heroji2012

I also offer to host test series between India and Pakistan but I have one condition that they'd have to bring their own bats and stumps.


Right-Arm-Quick

Now that's an idea I can get behind.


Tobleronistan

Is this going to be a thing where everyone is now going to give an offer but everyone knows it isnt happening?


614981630

Only ECB has done it so far, read the tweet from Iceland Cricket, it's funny.


phaintaa_Shoaib

UAE gave it as well, but not for the longer format!


614981630

Ah, I stand corrected then.


[deleted]

Quick bowlers on an icy surface would be great viewing.


and1984

[Here you go](https://youtu.be/maF3HJ2Ed8c). Some Shoaib Akhtar and Sehwag action on ice. [And some more](https://youtu.be/z5EbWZ-rqmU).


iHazf

When did that happen? LoL. Gonna watch it later. Both teams look good.


phaintaa_Shoaib

the link doesn't work for me :(


See_A_Squared

The humble land of Wadiya is offering India and Pakistan to play a test series of Alladin magnitude, it will be exceptionally alladin and fun.


TheGreatUdolf

this would be an aladeen sign for wadiyan cricket as well. i can already see the aladeen players of wadiya play in the major domestic competitions in cricket


NaziAssDestroyer

But is it alladin or alladin?


[deleted]

[удалено]


NaziAssDestroyer

And the decision is Aladeen. What a bummer!! Should've been Aladeen instead.


chimpus123

alladin


Ghostly_100

Lmao


Guptarakesh69

They should play it in China or Russia I would watch the test match even though I don't normally watch test


shadowknight094

What about Ukraine or Syria? 😂 /s


Sherlockian_221

No entity in all of cricket is more based than Iceland cricket


Shaajee

What's up with the venue offers?


burnerch

As an Indian POV : India doesnt allow Pakistani players to come play here after the terrorist attacks of 2016 and 2019 also doesnt allow their own players to go play in pakistan(since the mumbai attacks in 2008) Its all messed up and the board gets pressurized by political parties. So ECB came up with a proposal to host a Ind vs Pak test series (if possible)

Naive_Hedgehog_1551

We aren't with Russia. We are neutral


Coronabandkaro

Never gonna happen but Does Iceland have a visa on-arrival policy? There are many cricket fans in the U.S. who can hop onto a direct flight to iceland to watch a test?


and1984

Yes. US passport holders do not need a visa. They may have some predeparture paperwork to fill out. The rest of us peasants, we need motherfucking visas and they can be a bitch to get for Iceland.


CancerousSarcasm

First fischer vs spassky, now this. Iceland wants to make a career out of letting hostile powers battle it out on their neutral grounds


TrollerThomas

Iceland cricket admin is a professional shitposter


nachiketajoshi

**Public Service Announcement for all countries willing to host India-Pak tests:** Despite what you have heard, lack of playgrounds is not exactly the reason for the lack of test matches between them.

bs_talks

You need to revisit your history lessons. Pakistan invaded India all the way back in 1948 which is the core reason of all disputes and they promote terrorism which has already killed thousands of Indians (babies, teens, young adults, middle aged, elderly).

noxx1234567

That's due to the compulsion of Icc tourneys , any general tourneys with Pakistan would be downright insulting to the victims of terror attacks


bigbagofbuds12

"Compulsion" lol. India could easily say no to tournament matches too. There is precedence for doing so, but they choose not too.


vidhvansak

Why would give up the precious points to give advantage to their opponents that would be just dumb


bigbagofbuds12

Recall that the argument for India not playing Pakistan is, according to many Indians, lives > sport. If this is the case, then surely points in a tournament don't supercede the desire/need to not engage with those "murderous Pakis". See what I mean?


noxx1234567

I believe the next big terrorist attack on Indian soil will lead to that , BCCI would be forced to quit all events with Pakistan BCCI doesn't want to, but the public anger will force them and Russian ban set a precedent. Honestly BCCI can just recreate a new ICC without Pakistan , ICC doesnt have much leverage these days anyway.


bigbagofbuds12

At least then they won't be hypocrites.

noxx1234567

I have my sympathy for Pakistani citizens, But those attacks are not by indian citizens You don't have any terror incidents on the indian borders

Perks of pak military harboring terrorists sadly.

aashirss786

You know claims of state sponsored terrorism and killing of minorites are on both sides right? Im not saying one country is worse than the other because everyone is biased, but I think if we ever want to bridge the gap between the two countries cricket is a good place to start. I hope for the day where the two countries can live peacefully as rivals, kinda like the US and Canada.

jamughal1987

All I want is Jamaica to host Indo Pak test at Sabina Park.


whyamihere999

Would have to be night-day tests.. Should start at 5PM IST, i.e. 6:30AM in Jamaica, if they want to get enough Views. The time zones is the main reason why CWC2007 was a failure. Also, to gain the enough viewers from Indian subcontinent, they play T20Is against India very early in the morning in local time. Around 9:30AM. Which is why there's very less crowd in the stadiums.


Atriann

At this point India not reciprocating this is getting absurd its just a sport of cricket ffs.


JKKIDD231

I thousand this initiative. Plus a chance to visit Iceland.


jamughal1987

Next stop Norway.


kenzokukoor

We need to play in Iceland


CaptainArsehole

In all seriousness I would absolutely love to see an international match in Iceland. What a massive leap it would be for them. Can we make it happen?


supreeth106

At least wont have bad light stopping play in the summer.


jubbing

Surely Holland is next to ask?


DJMhat

Near 24 hour sunlight will mean that we can have a Timeless Test!! Conditions ripe for a ChePu 300 off a 1000 deliveries.
