We don't really hate them, hate's a very strong word, but it's just a simple way of putting it across. Don't take things so seriously.
I don't like VRV singh... He is an Idiot. He don't know how to respond. When he drops an easy catch, he wants no one to scold him but when he is bowling and if the fielder drops atmost difficult catch, he will scold him in public.... Thats what I Don't like in him.
And the second & third ones I hate is Ravindra Singh Bopara & Samit Patel.
They were born in India but they're now playing to England which I don't like. But I appreciate their cricket.
He averages 19 with the ball in 20. Very good.
County cricket is fine. Just fine. Our Twenty20 Cup was of a higher standard than the IPL.
I wrote that before the 2009 IPL, and I still think it.ROFL
This forum gets better and better
IPL standard is comparable to other domestic leagues. Important thing is that all domestic leagues are well below International standards.
Agreed on the bolded part.
But I disagree on the first part. Hate it or love it, IPL teams have the most talented domestic teams in the world, often having 5 world class players (4 great foreigners and 1 great Indian national player), whereas other leagues have at most 2 world class players.
This whole thread is a joke in my opinion. How can you develop a hatred for someone you don't know? It's not like any of you know these cricketers personally. Hating them because they aren't good enough or get injured is just rubbish. Hating them because they seem arrogant is rubbish - how do you know they aren't different on the field than they are off? No one in this thread has given any decent reason to hate any of the cricketers they hate, it's all bullshit.
Also Andre Nel is a douche bag, I just hate him.I hate Sreesanth and Harbhajan too. Specially Harbhjan Singh - he has like the worst personality in the world!
I actually hate a lot of Indian players, they just show too much attitude on the field. Stick to the game guys! Don't just appear in advertisements and TV shows and show attitude on the field! We care about your cricketing skills, not showbiz value.
There's nothing wrong with people objecting to cricketers selling themselves.Appearing in ads and TV shows is their personal decision. If the BCCI doesnt have a problem with it, no one else SHOULD!
