Alex Hales indirectly trolls PCB by posting picture of poor quality food offered to him

Alex Hales takes shot at PCB
As if the postponement of PSL was not enough, Alex Hales piled more misery on the PCB by trolling them. The England opener was a part of the Islamabad United camp for PSL 2021. On Thursday, he took to Instagram to post a picture of the food offered to him and pointed out the hilarious gaffe. In the picture, two eggs could be seen with a toast and an unopened packet.

The problem with the food was that Hales was not expecting eggs. The quality of the eggs was not good either as Hales posted the following picture on his Instagram story:

What the hell !!
I actually thought someone edited it or something when i first came across it on twitter memes page's.
Disgusting .. is it like raw egg??

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Another proof
IPL > PSL.

 

[WengerOut]

Steyn has larger heart. Shame on you Hales...

 

[ElRaja]

the toast aint toasted, the egg aint cooked, wouldnt be surprised if under the cover the beans are still attached to the plant lol

talk about a right royal mess up.

 

[King_Kohli]

Its not on his Instagram. Fake?

Not sure whether he deleted or not but many articles published.

Steyn to chup chap kha leta tha bina koi fuss ke...Alex hales just too much..

 

[Saj]

5 star Upscale hotel offering 6 dining options, plus an outdoor pool, a gym & a tennis court.

 

[Saj]

Well...is this an accurate source?

Alex Hales is the source.

Accurate enough.

 

[gani999]

Shocking if true!

Even Indian players who have toured Pakistan in the past will tell you that the food there is absolutely fantastic.

 

[Devadwal]

Not good from Hales .if he was unhappy about food then he should have directly say to hotel management about food qwality .

[RedwoodOriginal]

They got his order wrong once, I think. Still looks pretty bad tho. I'd be pretty angry if I got that kind of food in a 5 star hotel

He cleared it up as a mistake. But who were they feeding this too? Thats the real question. Because someone was eating this as their breakfast.

Good question if this food was not for players then who were they feeding bcz normal citizens not allowed in boi secure bubble

 

[guna]

Rich spoilt brat. Suck it up and get back to work.

 

[topspin]

A 5 star hotel in Pakistan is not a 5 star hotel by western standards. It's probably between a 2 and a 3.

So no surprises to see this kind of food being dished out.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Stayed in a 5 star hotel last year in Pakistan, the food was absolutely first class, and I'm not a celebrity. Can only imagine it was some mistake, maybe the gardener left his packed lunch lying around.

 

[Firebat]

Forget Alex Hales, the fact that someone made that for human consumption in a hotel concerns me

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Rich spoilt brat. Suck it up and get back to work.

The lad was having a laugh lol. They got his order is all, he’s cleared it up, if there’s one thing pakistan don’t lack in its good food. I remember staying in the PC hotel in Lahore on my wedding day and the breakfast in the morning was exquisite and best I’ve eaten ever.

Food aside there is a bigger issue with PSL being cancelled yet again.

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

There is no post on his Instagram &#55357;&#56397;

I guess you don't know what an Instagram story is.

 

[Thanos]

Not sure why an issue is being made out of nothing. It was a wrong order, he found funny and posted.
People reacting like they never got served someone else's order.

 

[Mamoon]

Not true. Serena Islamabad, Marriott Islamabad, Sheraton Karachi are all 5 star by any standards.

Pearl-Continental isn’t though, they have failed to maintain their standards.

 

[mazkhan]

I've said it before there's no point bringing these washed up westerners to the psl paying them a handsome sum of money and then they trash talk the host.
Same time the guy hasn't scored one fifty so far and running his mouth.

All the top wicket takers and run scorers this year are pakistanis even saqib mahmood is ethnically a pakistani .

4 oversees players is too much and worst is you must play 4 in the playing xi .

Just cap it at 2 and its up to the team whether they play them or not it will save a huge chunk of money and let a lot of emerging talent players get opportunities for psl.

You don't see the big blast bbl, south african t20 or New Zealand t20 leagues have lodes of washed up foreigners.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

PCB is an embarrassment to this nation. Utter incompetence!!

 

[asadee]

England hotels are downright third class. He is one to complain

 

[90MPH]

A bit surprised they would serve him that but at least he clarified it was not a regular occurrence, which would be totally shocking.

That said it’s not acceptable to give that to anyone, let alone a professional sports player at a top hotel.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shocking if true!

Pakistani food and tea is always fantastic.

 

[silentkiller187]

Shocking if true!

The tea is also fantastic and has been well reviewed by foreign guests in the past.

Tbh I think hales found it funny and posted it online, for everyone criticising him and complaining what do you expect for him to sit there quietly and just speak when he is spoken to. He clarified it was a mistake that’s it let’s move on. No need for these over reactions people on Twitter calling for him to be banned etc nonsense.

 

[adil79]

I just feel sad for the foreigners. Waited years for cricket to return home only to find such comedy from PCB and our country

 

[Nov15]

How could any guest in a 5 star be served that???

 

[adil79]

I think this PSL will be the last for Hales. And he probably took frustration out of some other grievance. May be he is unhappy with biolol bubble

 

[street cricketer]

Must do better in a 5 star hotel regardless of whether it was his order or not.

This is worse than the IRCTC (Indian Railways) breakfast, where a bread omelette literally means a cold omelette wedged inside two slices of plain white bread

 

[Baigel]

Y’all are so quick to jump the gun. Did anyone see his tweet? Certain commenters are acting like they forced it down his mouth.

 

[The Viper]

Regardless if it was a one off, it is unacceptable that somebody is consuming this kind of food in a 5 star hotel.

 

[Varun]

He's probably never stayed in an England hotel though.

 

[Rohan]

How many people did you please with this comment?

Haha....

Have you had paneer in Shatabdi?

Its like eating chewy rubber.

 

[BakuGM]

Never but hoping to one day visit (If I can get a visa) and try the regional foods in India.

Big difference between PC/Serena and the Travel Lodge lol. Seems like you haven't travelled much as the top hotels in Pakistan are ace.

 

[GenericBrand]

Wouldn't be surprised if it was meant for their 'labour' workers.

 

[street cricketer]

Haha....

Ooh..Paneer in Shatabdi

That's too elite for me Siffy

Masala dosa in Kovai express is more my area of things. Have a weird confession though. I actually like the sambhar that's served on Kovai express and a fan of IRCTC's hot tomato soup with bread crumbs

 

[mastimasti]

Alex Hales is the source.

Accurate enough.

Posters were stating that it was not on his Instagram, and the "news" website reporting it was Indian. So there isn't an actual Alex Hales source just yet.

 

[Saj]

It was on his instagram story on his official instagram account. I'm no expert on instagram, but things posted on the story only stay for a short while.

Also he has replied from his twitter account.

Can't get much more official than that.

 

[MenInG]

Stick to Hales story please.

 

[Major]

ALso, there is nothing disgusting about the food posted in OP. Its just bread, and the white substance looks like porridge and the boiled egg.

The egg's shell is broken, the inside of a broken shell looks like that.

Its seems as if its a customized order.

Really stupid stuff from Alex Hales, his one tweet ends up reflecting bad on the management.

 

[princeuk]

Why do you say this? Just because of one bad meal?

 

[Abu_Hamza]

Sada hua anda, kacchha bread. Shandar mehman nawazi.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Even if he was joking, he shouldn't have tweeted this because now as they say:

"A lie can travel around the world and back again while the truth is lacing up its boots."

Dude, I fear for your health if you think that there is nothing wrong with that food. That's how a broken egg shell looks like?

On topic though - I think Hales clarified that it was a joke and he found no issues with the hospitality. I think we should leave it at that - no need to keep bumping this thread.

Yes thats how an broken egg shell looks like.

It doesnt come out perfectly everytime.

Stop over reacting.

The shell ia broen from the side, pluss there are marks on the egg probably from the water.

 

[OMB]

That doesn't look five star mean (or even b'fast) to me. Yet, Hales could have handled it better.

Miyagi says eat eggshell or might end up walking on them
