Danish Kaneria Slams Nick Compton For his 'Most Foul-Mouthed Individual' tweet (now deleted)

[MenInG]

New Delhi: Former Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria took to his Youtube channel to express his views on former England batsman Nick Compton’s remark on India captain Virat Kohli. The former England opener slammed Kohli by tweeting that he is the ‘most foul-mouthed individual’ and went on to praise the likes of Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Sachin Tendulkar for being level-headed and grounded.

“Isn’t Kohli the most foul mouthed individual. I’ll Never forget the barrage of abuse I received in 2012 when the swearing ? stunned me to the point that he did himself a serious disservice. It highlights what a level headed and grounded man Root, Tendulkar, Williamson et al are,” tweeted Compton which has now been deleted after the 38-year-old faced a lot of backlash on social media.

Reacting to the above tweet, Kaneria said that the former English players are sore losers and can’t stand Kohli’s aggression and when they lose, their entire body starts burning.

“There is a former English cricketer who is disappointed with the way Virat Kohli shows his aggression. Is it fine when you do it? Do you have to rule all the time? Whenever there is a big team against you, they use the same tactics to nail you down that you use against them for so many years. You had started it when Jasprit Bumrah had walked out to bat. Jos Buttler had something to say to him and many other players got chirpy,” Kaneria said on his Youtube channel.

“Virat Kohli’s aggression was superb. His bowling changes were spot on. As a captain, Kohli was just showing aggression and the crowd was supporting him. Speaking of abusive language, we have played cricket and unless there is a bit of banter, it is not fun. I don’t think Kohli used any abusive language. The aggression that Kohli showed was instrumental in India winning this Test match,” Kaneria added.

The third Test between England and India is set to begin at Leeds, Headingley on the 25th of August.

I've seen it many times of late that Pakistani cricketers (mostly former) rally behind Indian cricketers whenever they are under attack by someone but the favour isn't returned by Indian cricketers, who remain tight lipped when it comes to defending their Pakistani counterparts.

Any specific reason for that?

Even we are confused. Good people from India can see through this.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I think he wants an Indian citizenship. Akhtar has more Indian youtube fans than Pakistani fans, so Kaneria following the Rawalpindi express

It's because no one really attacks Pakistani cricketers nowadays, given their position in the rankings.

Indians get attacked because they are among the top three teams in all formats and their players show a lot of attitude and confidence. The higher you go and the louder you are, the more brickbats come your way.

A lot of Indians also criticised umpire Darrel Hair severely when he showed bias against the Pakistan team.

 

[Gullycricket]

I don't see anything wrong with what Compton said. It's the bitter truth and gets masked under aggression . Defenders of this foul mouthed Kohli always bring this argument that Aussies, English used to do it or they are so losers blah blah. Compton is absolutely correct. Even Ed Cowan had said how Kohli abused his dead father.

 

[Bewal Express]

Why would Danish get excited about a dispute between Ind and English?

Does Kaneria even have a YT channel? As much I heard him during his playing days, he was quite a reticent guy and an average communicator, unlike Shoaib.

 

[MP2011]

Maybe. But it's quite unfathomable why would any Pakistani cricketer take offence over someone like Kohli being attacked by a former English player!

Good point.

However, these kinds of examples are very far and few. Have seen how vigorously former Pakistani cricketers like Inzi, Butt, even Yousuf (who is a bitter critic of most Pakistani cricketers) defend Indian cricketers. Shoaib, we all know.

 

[MP2011]

Maybe $$$$$

Might have been true for someone like Shoaib who has a big following of Indians on his YouTube channel but Kaneria?

 

[Bewal Express]

The other reason is that Danishs fixing was caught by the English and he is still bitter that his big earner was ended. And the English did this because they don't like PK Hindus

It must bring in something. Danish should have been our ATG because he had everything you could ask for- leg spin, googly and bounce but he was thick and he had Kami as a WK.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

I find his claims of discrimination bit suspicious considering the fact that Imran Tahir had to go to South Africa to cement his career.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Exactly!

He tweeted a while back that his sole source of income was his Youtube channel after getting a life ban from PCB and ECB, and asked everyone to follow/rt etc so he could earn something. Speaking high of Indian players or just India would garner followers from the other side of the border, while criticizing or making a controversial claim about Pak team would also increase his views. And it seems to be working as he has found himself in the news.

 

[Bewal Express]

I think we will never know. There may have been some comments that were religions insensitive or down right discrimination by some loser but on the other hand it maybe just rubbish to cover up the fact that his career ended in such ignominy. Who knows

ATG is a bit much I think.

I know Kamran dropped a lot of catches off him but I also remember him leaking runs from time to time too.

Fair to say he's on par with Yasir Shah as a leggie?

He was better in away conditions. Has taken wickets in NZ, Aus and SA which Yasir can only dream of. However I don't think he was as good in home conditions. Overall I would say he's a fair bit better than Yasir.

It was a usual sook. As much as the English would want to, it’s difficult to complain about your own pitches and conditions.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Pakistani ex-players suck up too much to Indian cricket/cricketers on YouTube. Obviously done for monetary reasons. But it is a combination of comedy, cringe, fakeness and insincerity almost all the time.

Coming to the tweet, Kohli deserves criticism for acting like a spastic ****** on the field. The worst behaved Indian cricketer I have seen, and he is our captain to make matters worse. It is totally possible to be aggressive and not be as revolting as him. I hate his antics, he does this to our junior players as well, in IPL. I think I will enjoy following our team more when Kohli is stripped of captaincy, not only is he bad at that job he lowers the dignity of the skipper's position earlier held by gentlemen like Pataudi, Wadekar, Kapil, Sachin, Dada, Dravid, Kumble etc.

There are other foul mouthed, revolting characters in cricket, especially from countries like Australia, South Africa, England. They don't get the criticism they deserve, only brown folks are villains in the cricket world if some of these experts are to be believed. 'Most foul mouthed' individual? Not so sure about that one, for sure one among a few such individuals tarnishing the image of the sport.

I feel his disappointment with PCB regarding spot fixing is legit. PCB didn't supported him at all when allegations were labelled on him in UK. Butt, Asif, Jamshed etc also have the same complaints. PCB didn't supported them at all while PCB went all in to save Amir's career. I don't think PCB owned any of them anything once they were caught but it is very frustrating to see different rules for different cricketers. The massive ego Amir has right now is due to this favoritism only.

Majority of his followers on Youtube are from India. Sadly, You tube is probably Kaneria's only income source these days.

 

[gazza619]

May be Kaneria considers himself an Indian. He was sore as he didnt get pardon by PCB as many other fixers did so in our history. He has the right to be upset though, rules should be equal for everyone.

 

[gazza619]

Much better than Yasir.

Absolutely!!! Kaneria had so many years left in him for test cricket when he got banned. His current official age is 40 and he would have still been milking money in the T20 leagues worldwide.

 

[MP2011]

Most foul mouthed cricketer (of repute) on a cricket field would be Glen McGrath. No one else comes close.

OTOH, he is one of the most well behaved and well spoken cricketers off the field. Or may be that behaviour is mostly post his retirement.

The PCB didn't ban him otherwise the likes of Rashid Latif would have got him playing within 5 years like Butt

 

[MesonK]

Danish Kaneria is an ex con disgraced cricketer who will do anything to please gullible Indian viewers for his channel. This tactics works each time.

The Aussies got away with murder. When Shoaib Akhtar swore at Kallis he was banned for a test but when the Aussies did it, it was just seen as Aussies being Aussies

 

[Ab Fan]

First Salman Butt and then Danish Kaneria. Why do Pakistani ex-cricketers have to dance and rally up for support on any remarks made by foreign cricketers associated to Kohli?

Neither Kohli and nor Indian ex-cricketers are much bothered with these stuffs or remarks as Pakistani ex-cricketers are given that they come up for defending Kohli, lol.

 

[Waleed93]

Pakistani ex-cricketers have no shame and their self-respect is non-existent.

How can their beg so obviously in front of the whole world after earning so much throughout their careers is really shameful to see as a Pakistani.

Because our ex-cricketers are shameless, and you will notice thag most of these clowns (Butt, Kaneria, Shoaib,etc..) are those who at one point, all tarnished Pakistan's name atleast once during their careers.

They basically can do anything to earn easy money, so sucking up to Indian players or making cringe remarks on Pakistani players is not a big thing for these sellouts.

To be honest many times they also take a potshot at Indian cricketers/BCCI for no reason but to get some attention. Regarding money, there is an end to human need but there is no end to human greed. This has nothing to do with Ind/Pak. I am sure if situation were reversed financially, Indian ex cricketers would have done the same.

 

[globalcitizen]

Anybody can see that English via their retired cricketers are trying to play on minds of Indian cricketers. So in 2012, a 22 year old kohli was sledging and putting off Nick Compton. What a joke.
During that time kohli was still establishing into team after world cup.

Just trying to distract attention from a bad loss. Also why would he remove the tweet if it's true.

Because of the backlash from Indian fans who can't take such things against their Angel Kohli or any other cricketer. Just because someone is establishing himself doesn't mean he won't be foul mouthed. You should remember his foul mouthed tirade against Rubel Hussain, how after catching De Villiers in WC 2011 he went on a spree of abuses , his sexist dehati mentality when he gave interview about standing up a girl because she was ugly, abusing Ed Cowan's dead father, insulting and disrespecting journalists . No wonder he gets along with Shastri and couldn't tolerate a gentleman like Kumble. This guy fakes so much due to his PR but initially we all saw it . It gets brushed under the carpet because he is the most powerful guy in world cricket right now and his PR team is very good

 

[PakLFC]

Kohli is misunderstood. His aggressive on field tactics does not make him a bad apple as Compton suggests. Danish supporting Kohli does not mean he wants Indian citizenship or anything like that. How come Kohli has never had any issues with Pak players? Seems that it is the English and Aussie players that upset him more then others for some odd reason. Over the years English players have had their on field troubles as well. Just ask Azeem Rafiq how wonderful English players are.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Kaneria was a far better spinner than Yasir.

 

[Snowflake]

Sledging doesn't come naturally to South Asian players because it's not part of the sporting culture in this part of the world. So, naturally, when Indians adopted this aggressive attitude, they have to force themselves to sledge. When you force yourself to do something, it's very easy to go overboard with it.

Kohli's sleding doesn't have much thought behind it but is just a barrage of abuse.

 

[ak619]

Kohli is a fighter. He gives no quarter and asks for none in return. You can't fault a man if he is willing to take it as good as he gets it back.

If even after 12 years, people can't get used to this and have a problem with it, then that's their problem not Kohli's.

He's never cared about what the public thinks of him. And that's probably why he has the biggest fan following- not just in India but across the world.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Kaneria was a far better spinner than Yasir.

No, Yasir in his prime was a much better spinner than Kaneria.

I don't know what statistics you're reading, but the guy averages 40+ against most top teams.

Yasir in his prime was easily one of the best spinners produced by Pakistan.

Kaneria was bog average.

 

[street cricketer]

Kaneria was a far better spinner than Yasir.

I'm not sure but I don't think I remember him ever bothering the Indian batting when we played against Pakistan. He was not a bowler who gave you the scare and I think Yasir wouldn't have troubled the Indian batting if we played Pakistan too.

Saqlain was the last Pakistani spinner who gave you the scare and maybe Ajmal to an extent.

 

[bala977]

Can someone tell me how Sharjeel, Amir etc. are playing in PSL after ban whilst Kaneria isn't? Is it a question of ability?

 

[hitthestump]

He's 40, was never a LOI cricketer and hasn't played any high level cricket since 2012.

English cricket fans dont actually like his behavior almost universally not that it matters too much.

Cricket is not about I can take it so I will give it thats not sports at all. Many people are capable of giving it and taking it thats not an issue for most men its only war of words which is easy and cheap.

Kaneria did play his part in Pakistan drawing the test series in India.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

As an indian, i find some of VK's theatrics and gesticultions unwanted and cringeworthy
am all for aggression and passion, but dont bring one up manship to it....
The same with Siraj who i think is an accident waiting to happen....just like Rabada...
the way he's going , he's going to be another fav of the match ref's and contribute a lot of match fees to the ICC...
A pity, a far cry from a whole gen of past indian cricketers who played with dignity in defeat and restraint in victory...look at how rahul, sachin, vvs, kapil so many of others who donned the proud blue india cap played....look at their spirit...am not saying that that is the only way but I mean i enjoy VK, but yeah wish he'd remember there are several youngsters watching him and his behaviour is hardly exemplary....
And please dont say its always retaliatory, there are many times when VK is the instigator....
]And I also feel there is a lot of camera attention on VK, lot more than necessary and much more than any other player currently out there.... Kohli cam is almost a meme.....tbh that is also unfair...

You are just pulling strings from thin air to support your statement. Just shows your helplessness and jealousy against a fine cricketer. Kohli was like that while young and was even abusing himself personally and its his way of motivating himself. And those altercations with rubel was continuing from their u19 days both being competitive.
Current times kohli is not the instigator but gives back if any and has even mellowed down.
