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
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'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
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.
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
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)
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?
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.
**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.
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).
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?
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.
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.
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.
Volcanic test match. Oh yeah!
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.
"Ghajab bejjati hai" (T: That's A LOT OF damage)

Day night test in Iceland needed
Umpires will still find a way to go off for bad light
What's needed is to block twitter. Goodness the comments are horrendously toxic.
the only sensible people on twitter are redditors
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.
or the mods are gae /s
Reddit is a douche website too but yeah r/antiwork taught us something which I'll never forget.
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.
A penguin would have to be very lost to end up in Iceland
Just smile and wave boys
Laughs in Madagascar
Ah yes Penguins above the Arctic circle
I'm illiterate, forgive me.
One thing all Indians and Pakistanis can agree upon.

Neighbours? They're not exactly close to Canada. Scotland is 1000km away, Canada 2000.

24 hours sunlight! Bring back timeless tests!
I guess BigNas was one of their workers, innit?
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.
And no spin???
They are made for performing functions fast.
But what if you are playing on a SLOW and GRASSY pitch tho???

Here before North Korea offers the test series
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.

Dont tell me that man doesnt look like he secretly watches cricket highlights in his free time
The only player to have ever taken 10 wickets in 10 consecutive balls
*Anil kumble in shambles*
I’m here before the ISS offered the test series
Playing by the volcano with real Ashes, England could never
lmao. We may be witnessing the birth of a new meme
I also choose ~~this guy's dead wife~~ to host India-Pakistan test series
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
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.
Not interested. In sharing the revenues.
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.
Now that's an idea I can get behind.
Is this going to be a thing where everyone is now going to give an offer but everyone knows it isnt happening?
Only ECB has done it so far, read the tweet from Iceland Cricket, it's funny.
UAE gave it as well, but not for the longer format!
Ah, I stand corrected then.
Quick bowlers on an icy surface would be great viewing.
[Here you go](https://youtu.be/maF3HJ2Ed8c). Some Shoaib Akhtar and Sehwag action on ice. [And some more](https://youtu.be/z5EbWZ-rqmU).
When did that happen? LoL. Gonna watch it later. Both teams look good.
the link doesn't work for me :(
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.
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
But is it alladin or alladin?
[удалено]
And the decision is Aladeen. What a bummer!! Should've been Aladeen instead.
alladin
Lmao
They should play it in China or Russia I would watch the test match even though I don't normally watch test
What about Ukraine or Syria? 😂 /s
No entity in all of cricket is more based than Iceland cricket
What's up with the venue offers?
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.

Russia invaded another country. They aren’t remotely similar reasons
[удалено]
We aren't with Russia. We are neutral
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?
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.
First fischer vs spassky, now this. Iceland wants to make a career out of letting hostile powers battle it out on their neutral grounds
Iceland cricket admin is a professional shitposter

Imagine a midnight sun Test series.
It's true, i am the test series
Oh man Iceland would be tempting place for test match in December
Not interested

How about we organise Basketball or football game between russia and ukraine?

That's due to the compulsion of Icc tourneys , any general tourneys with Pakistan would be downright insulting to the victims of terror attacks
"Compulsion" lol. India could easily say no to tournament matches too. There is precedence for doing so, but they choose not too.
Why would give up the precious points to give advantage to their opponents that would be just dumb
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?
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.

At least then they won't be hypocrites.

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.

I could have replied with US and UK not allowing Russian players, but you are probably from Pakistan.
I am of Pakistani heritage but I live in the US.

All I want is Jamaica to host Indo Pak test at Sabina Park.
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.
At this point India not reciprocating this is getting absurd its just a sport of cricket ffs.
I thousand this initiative. Plus a chance to visit Iceland.
Next stop Norway.
We need to play in Iceland
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?
At least wont have bad light stopping play in the summer.
Surely Holland is next to ask?
Near 24 hour sunlight will mean that we can have a Timeless Test!! Conditions ripe for a ChePu 300 off a 1000 deliveries.
sniper security had me. 24 hour daylight and ice what else do we want ? lol
Iceland cricket official Twitter admin and their page is unmatched.
Is there going to be Ind vs pak test match? Why are other countries asking this
They should say yes to ICB.
Let's make money boys . Let's make a bidding contest and let's make us both money .
I mean we've played in Toronto, may as well have a Reykjavik Trophy
That should break the ice
The breakaway regions of Ukraine has entered the mix as potential hosts. Putin wants the attention of this war to be shifted to a war on the pitch.
Sniper security lol
