Afridi on Sehwag

[gtz101]

Quotes from Afridi after the day's play

"He is an exciting player (sehwag) and has great stamina. He has the ability to play a long innings in tests, something which I am not capable of doing. The guy has already scored a triple hundred and could well get another one tommorrow. His innings has kept me on my toes throughout the day"

Basically, he is jealous, I think (especially when I saw him talking). But, Afridi has his own strengths though.

[Muddaser]

So Did Afridi Say He Is Jealous Of Sehwag?

Cause Why The **** Are You Using The Quotation Marks!!!

[Khalil]

Basically, he is jealous

Afridi is not jealous. He is merely praising Sehwag

Cheers Kiddo.

[Gasherbrum]

if only you did that more often with your underwear.

[sneekysneeky]

since when did praising someone become jealousy

[Khalil]

Jealous is like when Pollock was interviewed and asked about Ntini's performance after he took 11 wickets in on game

"Yeah I guess Ntini bowled Ok. He was lucky to get several soft dismissals and the wicket was bowler friendly"

Pollock took NO wickets in that game

[Gasherbrum]

since gtz thought he saw him talking.

afridi just praised sehwag. how can one assume that he is jealous when he says that sehwag is better than him beats me. HEy r u a sports journalist who likes to twist simple statements

[gtz101]

I only put the word "jealous" because I felt that was the impression given, although not directly.

[Gasherbrum]

then why did you use direct quotes, my friend? please do avoid that in the future?

[gtz101]

soz

[tahaqureshi]

Also, in the actual supposed quote itself, you write, "He has the ability to play a long innings in tests, something which I am not capable of doing." I SERIOUSLY doubt that Afridi would say something like that..infact, NO player in world cricket would ever admit to the public that he is not capable of doing a particular feat especially in a high profile series like this one...

I don't think Afridi even spoke

[the_game]

Moderators, why do you even let newbies post such rubbish?

It's called modesty.

Makes the oldies look even batter

[Karchie19]

if he was jealous then he would have said something like "Yeah i guess sehwag batted ok. He was lucky to get some soft runs and the wicket was batsmen friendly."

but he is reported to have said:

"He is an exciting player (sehwag) and has great stamina. He has the ability to play a long innings in tests, something which I am not capable of doing. The guy has already scored a triple hundred and could well get another one tommorrow. His innings has kept me on my toes throughout the day"

which is more like sucking up.

You are you idiot. It's just a matter of application and caring only about scoring loads, not pleasing the crowd.

[Easa]

Obviously he's Indian. Every post he makes praises Indian players.

Shut up, you complete tool.....

you see the word sportsmanship does a single Indian know the meaning of this word or the word civil?

[gtz101]

The quote I wrote what what I heard. I only heard it once so I wrote what I only heard. Maybe Afridi said that bit you referred to as a joke, I don't know.

And no I am not indian. Why do you say that easatheman? There is nothing in any of my posts on this board that suggests im indian.

[gtz101]

Interesting, I also found this article.......

http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/pakis...ry/231619.html

"I m nowhere close to doing that"

If he can make a statement like that, I'm sure he can say something similiar again which he did

How does that make Afridi jealous?

I just think you are a plank.

[gtz101]

I didnt say it did. Where did I say that? What I said is that the quote I gave in my original post, I felt Afridi probably was but I didnt say he was jealous from that link you are referring to.

[coolgangsta]

[banana246]

afridi has every right to be jellous of viru, i can guarantee you that shahid will never ever have the privilidge of joining the 300 club BTW iam not trying to take anything away from his 6 hitting ability

You really are thick aren't you? Do you know the difference between praising or showing humility to jealousy? I thought not. And what makes you so sure he won't ever reach 300? He still has plenty of years left in him, with the way he has been playing lately as a more mature player im positive that he will reach 200 or even more inshallah.

[banana246]

iam not saying that afridi is jellous of viru (i know afridis only praising him), all iam saying that if he was jellous he has every right to be, i mean who whouldn't, this makes you really thick READ properly before turning my words around as for afridi getting to 3 hundred............no chance in hell

Are you natuaraly this stupid or did you take some kinda course? The dude is being humble and these morons come running out the woodwork saying that he's scared jealous etc......what did you want him to say? Im gonna nknock six colours outta india?

With the greatest of respect i think most indians have a habbit of running off at the mouth just like their press! Dravid i respect because even with the nations tendency to talk crap he still keeps a cool head and talks sense! Must be a rarity in india!

so he scored 250 on a dead pitch........it hardly makes him a living legend!

[Uzzy]

There's fierce rivalry between Bhajji 'n me: Afridi

Lahore, January 16: Shahid Afridi insists there is still friendship between him and Harbhajan Singh, who was clobbered for four sixes by the dashing Pakistan all-rounder on the second day of the first cricket Test.

Afridi said the Indian off-spinner had walked up to him later and asked if he had singled him out deliberately for punishment.

"Naturally, my answer was no," said Afridi on the fourth day of the match on Monday, during one of the bad light interruptions.

"We remain good friends. I had a job to do and I did it according to my style. Naturally, if the conditions would have been friendly for spinners, Harbhajan would have created problems for me because that is his job," Afridi said.

"However, on the field there is no friendship but only fierce rivalry and competition and we all know about that."

Afridi dismissed suggestions that Harbhajan had indulged in sledging, when he was being hit mercilessly all over the park.

"He did not talk to me at all. He did not even look at me. But yesterday, he came to me and simply asked if I had deliberately picked him."
Afridi recalled that Harbhajan dismissed him, while playing a defensive stroke in the Kanpur ODI (2005) in which Pathan had scored another of his hurricane centuries.

"But it (my batting here) was no revenge against that dismissal. But I must admit that before that over started, I had told Kamran Akmal (his batting partner) that I would attempt for six sixes. So in that context, it was more of a premeditated attempt rather than merely punishing the bad balls.

"Harbhajan is a lovely man and I enjoy his company. I share more jokes with him than any other Indian cricketer. He takes everything in its stride. I am sure he will forget Saturday very soon," said Afridi.

You wouldnt get it banana but this is typical Afridi and hilarious!

I can just imagine Bhajji wondering 'why me?'

He seems worried he's been singled out for this series and was getting confirmation

[gtz101]

mate, sehwag has scored fifties and hundreds on all different pitches, from Australia,NZ, SA and to England.

You know thats a good point about Bhajji dismissing Afridi at Kanpur. Maybe it was revenge even if he doesnt admit it!
