How many Indian cricketers have jumped in so far to be part of Twitter war against Shahid Afridi?

[Mian]

Just saw Dhawan tweet on my timeline and i was wondering how many indian cricketers jumped in so far? It looks like huge media pressure on indian cricketers to reply Afridi itni be kia aag laga di usne bhai aik tweet se

Dhawan, Raina, Ghambir, Kaif wow the list getting long!

 

[Mian]

 

[sshakir411]

Well at least he didn't write 'zyaada' with a J - that's a good start

I think we should merge all threads of Indian cricketers responding to Lala's tweet. Let's do a count.....Gambhir, Raina, Kaif, Kohli, Sachin, Dhawan, Kapil Dev....who's going to be next??? My guess is Amir's bunny is about to come in hot

Expecting Dravid and Dhoni to be the last to show any reaction

 

[sshakir411]

Expecting Dravid and Dhoni to be the last to show any reaction

I really hope we can get a full XI.....Surprised the clown Sehwag hasn't joined in yet. They've already used the following replies so I think the next one will take slightly longer to come up with something original:

1) No one should tell us what to do in our country
2) but but but look at your country
3) You wouldn't have said this if we gave you IPL contract
4) Shahid Afridi is.... insert personal insult

 

[troodon]

Afridi posted his opinion. Indians are tweeting their opinion.

This Afridi triggering 1.2 billion people is a joke. Tomorrow if Kohli or Dhoni or Sehwag says that Pak is a terrorist country, you will see reaction from 20 crore pakistanis as well.

We all saw what happened with Pak fans and Cricketers when Sehwag tweeted about Baap/Beta/Pota joke.

 

[blue_champion]

Let us see 1.3b Indians have been triggered....ok once in a while a social media storm hits like this and may be dies down after what a week?

Almost like the video of the girl Priya Warrier

Howver Pakistanis seem to have fallen in love with Lala the upcoming politician for trolling Indians and sure want to see him in a political position and will vote for him due to these shenanigans.

Now wonder who gets the short end of the stick on that one

Remember the days when the odd Kanpur innings by Lala or the Karachi innings from Akmal used to get them long runs forever...wonder who suffered the aftermath of those innings )

 

[IAJ]

Time for Rashid Latif to come up with a video reply.

 

[www787]

Again for the nth time a guy shooting at you is not an innocent...the world calls them terrorists, maybe in your book it is defined differently...just like a poster yesterday was comparing Mandela with Al-Qaida

Innocent have lost their lives, female have been raped, and India is an occupying force in Kashmir, no matter how hard, how loud, and how much anyone try to deny or give it another spin.

Element of separatist and freedom fighter exist and it will continue to as long as India keep using the similar method to shut them down. It has failed for 70 years and it will continue to unless something change.

Many evidence exist, actually countless evidence.

 

[R3verse Swing]

If Pak cricketers can make video blogs about a Baap-Beta joke, then you think Indian fans and cricketers are going to take it easy with enemy country cricketer accusing Indian army?

Holy smoke!

Who started the Baap Beta thing? Baap beta was not political it was comical especially, after Indians had eggs on their faces, and more importantly, no innocent lives were lost!

Compare apples with applies, not Blue with Saffron!

 

[www787]

If Pak cricketers can make video blogs about a Baap-Beta joke, then you think Indian fans and cricketers are going to take it easy with enemy country cricketer accusing Indian army?

I am sure you aren't that immature, so let's not pretend to equate both because they aren't.

Anyway I got better things to do then try to show Indians that their army have and are committing crime against Kashmiri to shut their voice and struggle.

 

[Third_Umpire]

maybe they all have a new clause in their IPL contracts to respond to Lala’s tweets and any future tweets by Pakistanis.

 

[khan991]

Lol afridi has clean bowled them with his fast one. Wheres amirs bunny reply.. still waiting

 

[Indiafan]

Pakistani obsession with everything Indian continues. Even afridi is not immune

 

[R3verse Swing]

Pakistani obsession with everything Indian continues. Even afridi is not immune

I dot understand comments like the one above, the irony being, a user from India is a member on a Pakistani forum for over a decade. The obsession is blates.

 

[dhonixi]

Let something said by any Indian cricketer for balochi and ahmedis, then we will see reactions from 20 crores Pakistani. Systematic killing of ahmedis in Pakistan.

 

[Mian]

Pakistani obsession with everything Indian continues. Even afridi is not immune

And your obsession with a pakistan forum 12 saal se yahan kia ker rahe ho bhai?

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

Pakistani obsession with everything Indian continues. Even afridi is not immune

The superiority complex on show here is insane. Last time I checked 1.2 billion people lost their collective minds because of a tweet from across the border.

 

[introvert]

Celebrities whether it is afridi or indian cricketers should stay away from Twitter trolling nonsense. Because at the end you would get nothing outcome from this goalposts switching debates.

As Dr Alban said in his song
"Mind your business and leave my business
Very little knowledge is dangerous
Stop bugging me stop bothering me
Stop bugging me stop forcing me
Stop fighting me stop yelling me
It's my life"

 

[j_kazmi]

The reaction from all these current Indian cricketers seem a bit forced. I can’t be the only one who thinks that they’re are being told to reply Afridi.

I get when cricketers are asked by the media in an interview. But when some of these guys, especially when some current cricketers come out and say stuff like this on Twitter, something seems off.

You never see our cricketers speak out against political issues like that, especially against issues relating India.

I don't mind Pakistanis with influence backing afridi publicly, but this guy needs to stay away from hot topics and conversations atm. His career isn't stable and he could do well if he stays clear of controversy. Some one should take his phone away.

 

[Abdul]

Why does it matter? Indian people have the right to be ****** off over this, just like Afridi is allowed to express his opinions. Not like the trigger-happy Pakistanis would have held back.

 

[jagatk]

Your Foreign minister spoke out against Salman Khan's conviction. Pot. Kettle. Black comes to mind.

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

You never see our cricketers speak out against political issues like that, especially against issues relating India.

It's because most of them are aware that they aren't politically aware enough to make compelling arguements. Our friends across the border feel like it's their duty to bombard us with patriotic tweets that almost always relays the same message. "I love my India. Don't talk about my India. Mind your own business" *cue chak de india music*

 

[R3verse Swing]

Your Foreign minister spoke out against Salman Khan's conviction. Pot. Kettle. Black comes to mind.

Of course he would. The world is right now. Check out the media channels in the West.

India bangs up Khan for hunting an animal for 5 years, but your terrorist army are hailed as heroes for murdering children who throw stones.

Welcome to India.

isn't it a fact innocent people are getting killed in Kashmere, baap beta is a bad joke overall.

Yeah the Indian cricketers are just as politically unaware as ours so I don’t see why they’re getting involved.

And it’s weird how overly patriotic some Indian cricketers and celebrities get when discussing Pakistan. Like you don’t need prove to your fellow Indians that you love India.

On a serious note, shazhad should stay out of this becuase there is already negative press behind him already.

 

[www787]

I think your understanding of the event is getting murky as this event keeo on giving.

Afridi tweeted as anyone could and should, 1.2 billion responded.

 

[R3verse Swing]

We are talking about MODERN INDIA! A *rich* and *educated* nation - the BEST nation on planet earth - right? Why are you delving into history? Oh of course! You highlight a pertinent Indian trait, Indians always COMPARE with others, seeking approval or vindication of their vile actions. Never have the backbone to man up and take responsibility or accountability as a nation, no lets compare instead!

As for Bangladesh, it's irrelevant, because the point was comparing Animal rights with Human rights in India. Nice try though!

 

[Mamoon]

I believe that the Indian media and the players should realize that as one of the most unintelligent men in history of the game - and someone who cannot type two sentences together without paying his social media team, Afridi is the last person whose "delegated opinion" should be taken seriously, especially on matters that are well and beyond his intellectual capabilities.

Why Afridi woke up one day and instructed his Twitter guy to send this tweet out shall remain a mystery, but at least he has finally managed to get to a million followers.

India should take a good, hard look at themselves. If you allow the opinions of someone like Afridi on current affairs to trigger you, you clearly have issues.

Kohli is the only person who has managed to get involved in all of this without making himself look like an idiot, and he would not have been involved in the first place had the reporter not put him on the spot.

Yes he is the only winner in all this but i think india should not take seriously many of their players like Gambhir etc which you did not mention.He is a bigger idiot.

There you go. Indians and the Indian media giving so much time and attention to a tweet from Afridi tells the story...

 

[Mamoon]

Gambhir is one of the idiots that I referred to. He is a nationalist with a chip on his shoulder. However, unlike Afridi, he tweets himself and has a much better grasp on these issues.

 

[sshakir411]

Shami should also tweet and join the group before he gets called Pakistani like majority of poor Indian Muslims do. Poor Shami is already dealing with being linked to a Pakistani girl.....his tweet should include some solid personal attacks on Afridi so his fellow Indian Islamophobes can chest-thump, celebrate, and publish articles on how Shami 'destroyed', 'cleaned up', 'smacked', Afridi

So you can bring up indian army for anything related to india, but i can't reiterate my earlier point about Pot calling kettle black. But then i forget you are a troll and arbitrary rules are what you do.

Inferiority complex.

wrist slitting in one post.

I am glad to see that one does not have to be fluent in English to understand the issue of innocent being murdered by oppressive force. Imagine of only people who spoke English were allow to comment on political issues.

You can shoot the messenger if the message is his/her opinion. Considering his lack of intellect, I cannot take Afridi's generic views on these issues seriously.

It is not about English.

Do you actually think Afridi has an iota of knowledge of what's happening in the world, the history of the Kashmir conflict, the Instrument of Accession and other treaties, the role of the UN in this dispute or the role of the UN in general?

Even a 15 year old kid with no interest in current affairs can make a passing statement on the Kashmir issue or the Israel-Palestine conflict. However, his her/opinion cannot be considered because of the lack of knowledge and information. Afridi is in the same boat, and I would be extremely surprised if he has some telling insight over this dispute.

I was referring to the past few days in reference to the actions of Indian Army, your defence is past 5 decades.

Indians come out with the old and tired lines when cornered or exposed - troll/bait. This is because you have no answer as you are deep down GUILTY.

Now lets grant your WISHY WASHY hollow cries of 1971 for a split second, are you suggesting India has NOT moved on? India is NOT the better nation? Oh my! Time to replace Gandhi on the INR with Modi - it would be far more apt!

Insecurity was never a defence. Now go support your terrorist army who murder children because India's laughable armed forces are overpowered with stones and not bullets. Let this sink in.

Our country is in tatters because of people like you who have no sympathy and support towards its own heroes. Afridi stood up for innocent civilians and your out here questioning his education level. An educated and uneducated person can both differentiate between evil and good. Just look at the proof of how many widows there are in kashmir and how many childrens have lost their parents. You seem to be a narcissist so that wont have any affect on you.

His attempt at social media is better than yours on online forums, being genuine for one.

Ghambir is a coward like the rest of the Indians who support state terrorism against Kashmiris'.

 

[Mamoon]

and who are you? just another random attention seeking poster

I am random, and I am a poster. Whether I am an attention-seeker or not is up for debate, but anyway, it is something for others to decide.

However, as a poster of this forum, I am well within my rights to give my opinion on this fiasco, and I think Afridi was fooling to talk about something...sorry pay someone to talk about something that is above his capacity.

It is a bit difficult for me to join you and others and perpetuate the narrative that he is standing up for the Kashmiris and sympathizes with their plight, when it is very clear that he is ignorant on this issue, and is not an authority in the slightest form.

If Afridi would have shown a semblance of intellect and interest in current affairs over the course of his career, his statements on these issues would have had some weight. For example, if someone like Misbah says something on this conflict, it would hold some value. But Afridi? goodness me.

I am amazed at how easy it is to rile up the Indians. If you allow Afridi to trigger you by paying someone to talk about Kashmir on his behalf, you clearly have hit rock bottom.

His net worth and status as a celebrity does not qualify him to talk about these issues. He is an illiterate individual who is most probably unaware of the history of this conflict.

His Tweet was random and lacked any depth or insight. In addition, it contained words that he has probably never heard of in his life, which it made it even more embarrassing and funny.

On the other hand, the Indians did not cover themselves in glory either. They exposed their frailties and how sensitive they are over the Kashmir issue.

I do not know what you mean by 'his attempt at social media is better than yours on online forums, being genuine for one.' The fact that you have to resort to ad hominem and making run of the mill statements like oh he has achieved more than you etc. etc. shows the weakness of the argument that you have constructed.

However, if you want to exchange pleasantries, I am more than happy to comply and walk down that path.

His Tweet was random and lacked any depth or insight. In addition, it contained words that he has probably never heard of in his life, which it made it even more embarrassing and funny.

On the other hand, the Indians did not cover themselves in glory either. They exposed their frailties and how sensitive they are over the Kashmir issue.

I do not know what you mean by 'his attempt at social media is better than yours on online forums, being genuine for one.' The fact that you have to resort to ad hominem and making run of the mill statements like oh he has achieved more than you etc. etc. shows the weakness of the argument that you have constructed.

However, if you want to exchange pleasantries, I am more than happy to comply and walk down that path.

You didn't crticise his tweet but attacked the man personally so it was only fair to point out, he might not be able to write as well as you but it's makes no difference as he has achieved more than you could ever dream of. He is loved by millions and his tweet has caused a billion people to take note. While you on a forum can write what you like but many on here dont believe a word of what is written.

His tweet was to the point. Its a tweet not an essay, not sure what depth you was looking for lol

You can shoot the messenger if the message is his/her opinion. Considering his lack of intellect, I cannot take Afridi's generic views on these issues seriously.

It is not about English.

Do you actually think Afridi has an iota of knowledge of what's happening in the world, the history of the Kashmir conflict, the Instrument of Accession and other treaties, the role of the UN in this dispute or the role of the UN in general?

Even a 15 year old kid with no interest in current affairs can make a passing statement on the Kashmir issue or the Israel-Palestine conflict. However, his her/opinion cannot be considered because of the lack of knowledge and information. Afridi is in the same boat, and I would be extremely surprised if he has some telling insight over this dispute.

May be he does, maybe he doesn't but from the tweet he understood one thing that innocent lives are being lost by an oppressive force.

I do not think that concept is as difficult to understand as you are trying to make it out to be.

It is obviously clear, you can't argue against the message so you resorted to attack a person who, probably had some help constructing that sentence, for the sake of to stand out from the rest of Pakistani, in your imagination.

Indians always seem to need burnol, these people get triggered by small tweets from the likes of Afridi of all people, the guy is just a cricketer yet, he's somehow made the whole country **********. )

Right now there are 10 Afridi threads on first page of time pass section

I'm surprised that more of the Pakistani current and former players haven't supported Afridi actually. Perhaps the PCB has stopped the contracted players.

I'm thinking of a separate forum on PP just for Shahid Afridi news etc.

The reaction from all these current Indian cricketers seem a bit forced. I can’t be the only one who thinks that they’re are being told to reply Afridi.

I get when cricketers are asked by the media in an interview. But when some of these guys, especially when some current cricketers come out and say stuff like this on Twitter, something seems off..

Have you read the story "The Emperor's New Clothes"? Well think of these cricketers as the Courtiers at the Royal Court telling the Emperor “How beautiful! What colours! What style! Your new clothes are magnificent, Your Majesty!”

Presumably you have in the past, or still do, play cricket? Even if only with a few friends and family members? Has anyone ever told you never to go anywhere near a cricket ball or bat because you lack the skilsl to bowl a googly or score a run-a-ball hundred? Criticising a former international sportsman for not being a litterateur or a political historian falls under the same category.

One other thing. At least he posts these comments on social media under his own name, unlike all of us keyboard warriors (you and me included) posting anonymously on internet discussion forums like this.

 

[Yossarian]

I'm thinking of a separate forum on PP just for Shahid Afridi news etc.

How about an Indian-free section for all of us non-Indian PPers? Can you just imagine the satisfaction and enjoyment of having meaningful and interesting discussions on topics unrelated to the Indian/Pakistani bashing of each other, without having every thread being diverted to being an Indian/Pakistani ding dong?

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Do they have enough for a playing XI yet?

 

[Poutine]

Pakistani obsession with everything Indian continues. Even afridi is not immune

Wait, the entire India media and pretty much every Indian celebrity is discussing Afridi's tweet for several days and Pakistan is obsessed? How does that even make sense? You seem like a sensible poster mostly but i guess nationalism and desh bakhti can effect anybody.

 

[emm-tee]

And you know this for a fact that he's got no idea about the issue on hand?

I didn't know you need to be qualified to state your opinion. Didn't you just say that you are entitled to your opinion? You come out all gun blazing when he stated his *opinion* about the ongoing issue.

Are you qualified to discuss Afridi's intellect?

I don't understand what you're trying to say. So what if he doesn't have enough knowledge about this issue? Just because one lacks knowledge doesn't mean they should turn a blind eye on such violence. If a person is brutally beating up another person are you suppose to not say or do anything because you do not understand their reasons for the violence? Afridi is a very popular figure, and if he wants use his fame to try to decrease brutality on innocents then i see nothing wrong with that, especially since he didn't insult anyone in his tweet and was only concerned for the people of Kashmir.

 

[PakLFC]

Lala got the reaction he wanted. It has inflamed IoK even more. Indian Cricketers replying to him is credit to him only. Pakistanis ignore all Pak related tweets by Indian celebrities coz they don't bother us. We seem to get under their skin much easily!

WOW

Not entire indian media
Just few TRP Hungry news channels
And not every Indian celebrity
U can count ths on ur fingers

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

Gambhir is one of the idiots that I referred to. He is a nationalist with a chip on his shoulder. However, unlike Afridi, he tweets himself and has a much better grasp on these issues.

Are you serious? On Kashmir? My maternal homeland? I am lost for words.

It sounds like you don’t know the history of Kashmir. It’s a genocide of my people by the Indian state who occupy the land.

I do not have anything further to add to this thread without repeating myself, but your posts prompted me to respond because I think it is important to clear the misconceptions that you might have in light of my posts.

I am well aware of the history of Kashmir and I am familiar with all three narratives - the Pakistani, the Indian and the Kashmiri. Like all conflicts, no party is 100% right or wrong, and there always two sides to a coin - or should we say three, in this case.

As far as my personal opinion on this conflict is concerned, it is hard for me to summarize it in a single post and I would best leave it for another day and another time, since it is not high on my priority list. However, I do not feel strongly about this issue, and I do not care much about J&K.

I do not think it is Pakistan's business what India does in 'Indian' Occupied Kashmir, what atrocities they commit or their refusal to allow the people of Kashmir to their right of referendum. To those Kashmiris who want to be part of Pakistan, I say thank you but no. I do not feel strongly about Muslim brotherhood, and I do not think it will benefit the country in any tangible way - it will only create bigger problems in the future.

To those Kashmiris who want independence of India and form a sovereign state, I say good luck. However, it is not Pakistan's war to fight.

Much like how the neighboring Arab countries have finally learned to stay clear from the Israel-Palestine conflict, something that they have learned the hard way thanks to the stupidity of Gamal Nasser and his pseudo Arab nationalism, it is time for Pakistan sideline itself and stop fighting for the people who are not theirs to begin.

I care more strongly about the plight of actual Pakistanis in Pakistan. Instead of fighting for Kashmir, Afridi should use that thesaurus of his and send some tweets on the crimes of our state in Balochistan and the Shia and Ahmadi genocide. These people need to be high on our priority list, not the Kashmiris of J&K.

Nonetheless, we have never been short on hypocrisy so we will continue to turn a blind eye towards what is happening in Pakistan and would rather focus on what is happening somewhere. It is much easier to do.

Take a break and just answer one question for now, how does Ganbhir or Dhawan have more of a grasp pn the Kashmir issue than ???

Oh, and quit being and India and Israel apologist

Gambhir is a nationalist, but he is a university graduate and is known for his strong opinions on political issues. He is clearly a more credible source than someone like Afridi.

As far as Dhawan is concerned, there was nothing wrong in what he said. Afridi has no business poking his nose in other countries when his own country is lagging behind India by an embarrassing margin.

Ideally, Dhawan and others should have ignored completely because Afridi's views on these issues are of no significance whatsoever. Nonetheless, Dhawan did not say anything in appropriate.

However, Gambhir was condescending and it appears that he is not going to take that 11 year old chip of his shoulder as far as Afridi is concerned.

Pakistan has far bigger issues than fighting for the rights of J&K. If Afridi cares so strongly about human rights, why doesn't he do something for Balochistan and the religious minorities in Pakistan?

I am not apologizing for India and Israel - I simply do not care much about Palestine and J&K. I would rather have our own house fixed first, and as long as we continue to do what we are doing, we have absolutely no right to talk about India and Israel without looking like blithering hypocrites.

Lot of Indian media went crazy about this, and so did some of their major celebrities. Obviously I'm not in India so I can't gage how all of the 1.2 billion people feel about this.
