What an absolute legend Hayden is. There should be more men like him in the game.
Haha, this is hilarious. If the Indians want to make a big deal out of this little comment then let it get to their heads. Its not racist or anything so their should be no crying. I think the Indians are just trying to make something out of nothing here.:
Hayden didn't start this war, he's only adding to it, and he's right in my opinion. Harbhajan came out all guns firing from the very start, saying that he was going to fight back against the Aussies' sledging, then complained about bullying tactics when things weren't going his way (Australia's ODI tour of India last year) then when he came to Australia he tried sledging and almost got suspended for racism.
He is the one who needs to learn when to speak and when not to, because he can't match his talk with very much at all.
This war of words is nothing more than a ploy to incense the Indians and to get more public interest in the series. Getting upset about this is overreactive.
And if you read what I wrote then you wouldn't have needed to repeat what I said.No it's not. If you can't see that it's meant to egg the opposition into doing something stupid and pursue the extremely ungentlemanly tactic of getting under someone's skin to cause 'mental disintegration' than I would question your comprehension skills. It's meant to cause Indians getting upset.
To be sure there is absolutely nothing noble and correct from going on the offensive and placing obstacles in someone's path when we are supposed to play a game that's based on fairness and gentlemanly conduct.
OH and the comment on not being able to take getting sledged and bullied goes both ways. I can admit that Harbhajan may be a hothead and that he may not be the ideal character, but nothing justifies Hayden's comments.
What an absolute legend Hayden is. There should be more men like him in the game.
I agree, its not that he called singh a weed its just Haydos is my favourite player and its cool that he has some attitude
So when did 42 off 50, 25 off 21 & 54 off 62 become slow in ODI's? You also forgot the 3 centuries he made in the Test series?Funny how Hayden, a bloke who's strike rate is resembling Dravid's this series, and Bhajji, who has taken as many wickets as George Bush's witty comments, seem to have continued the war of words/sledging ... i'm getting the sense that both are venting frustration due to a lack of individual success... meh. What Hayden thinks doesn't matter. I mean Wasim Akram called the aussies the dirtiest players when he was playing and no one really reacted. Same should go with Hayden's comment.
And if you read what I wrote then you wouldn't have needed to repeat what I said.
Hayden's comments are absolutely nothing to get upset about, because both sides have been throwing everything at each other.
Sledging is very much a part of cricket and unless it becomes racist, I have no problem with it and neither should you.
