"Indians not as large hearted as us" : Shahid Afridi

[mithun_minhas]

I don't blame Afridi for bad mouthing India after he went back to Pakistan.

After what ever accolades he gave to India back in Mohali, he had to appease the local religious nutjobs by dissing India...

Afridi seems to be dumb guy with the bat. But he seems to be shrewd when he is not on the cricket field...

The only bad thing for me out of his comments were bringing again religion into the mix... Whats up with Muslims having big hearts and Musalmans this and Musalmans that....

What has being a Muslim got to do with Cricket?

The day people from both countries stop bringing religion into everything between Ind-Pak, that will be the day peace will prevail......

An Indian player would never say such a thing....... Afridi should have at least considered that Danish Kaneria played recently for Pak

 

[Dr Khan]

If I were the PCB chairman, I would sack Afridi. Pakistan cricket is already struggling to find friends. We do not need more controversies. Why make statements that will cause hate and controversies. We need a calm and cool captain who minds his own business and only thinks of Pakistan cricket.

True. Afridi had made a lot of roads into Indian fans after his cool behavior and non-display of bad emotions after the match.

With political groups starting the talks we could have seen some progress on the bilateral series. But he tried to play towards Pakistani public and I am sure its not going to help anyone.

Afridi is Pakistan Team captain, so should he be trying to win Indian fans? The country who disgraced Afridi and his team mates in IPL auction?

 

[MC]

I saw the original video, am I the only one who thinks he was referring to the Indian players not necessarily to the entire Indian nation? If I remember correctly, the reporter asks him about Pakistan team's relations with the Indian players, and in reply Afridi makes that remark.

 

[Garuda]

Whatever you wish sir. I have read your recent posts and would try to ignore you for next few days.

You need time.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

You need time.

Time won't change what I think on this issue. Anyways thanks for being this kind to me.

 

[kak196]

lol. Relax, Afridi is entitled to his view.

India were petty and weak hearted when they stopped all bilateral cricketing ties with Pakistan. They were also small hearted when they refused to include the then T20 world champions in the IPL because of political issues.

And I am entitled to mine, and I said he. I din't generalize the entire Pakistan nation as you are doing. You need to relax more than I.

 

[AJ_27]

Tsk tsk

What an asinine statement!?!?! This (act without thinking and analyzing first) mentality is exactly why he shouldn’t even be in the team let alone captain the side. He is morally and ethically bankrupt and this fact was highlighted to the world of cricket by his numerous cheating incidents caught on tape and as usual the land of the pure rewards him by making him the captain of the national side. He should have been banned for it.

I can’t even imagine what made him come to the conclusion that we have bigger hearts than Indians do? The biggest accomplishment of our team in this world cup was that we played as a unit and there were no rifts or infighting within the team. Our team is the poster child of all abnormalities you can think of in professional sports and all of those short comings stem for personal gain and selfishness, yet he has the audacity to make these comments.

 

[CHRIS]

Here's Afridi himself stating probably pretty much the obvious!

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WmtV2Ow2XRg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

It is obvious from the statements Shahid Afridi made after returning to pakistan that he might have some plans to join politics using hate india emos.. What could be other reasons for these statements which are 180 degree opposite from what he said few days earlier in Mohali.

This is kind of pathetic from a captain who represents his country and keeps these type of views in his mind. I was also amazed to see the reaction of the people who were sitting there. All were clapping after afridi's statements. They were enjoying rubbish thoughts of Afridi.Look around the globe people.

Pakistan is one of most unstable countries of the world.I dont know, of which pride or big heart he was talking about..You cant grow with this kind of attitude-'Hate India, Hate people,Hate other religion'.
Grow up man and see around you. Mankind is planning to go to mars after moon and you people are still fighting on religion,borders etc. No-one is superior or inferior to anyone,Its just thoughts and ideology that makes them superior.

 

[Lion]

Look, I understand the Gambhir tied winning a match to 26/11 which I too felt was not right, when Pakistan is involved in the world cup and is obviously a sensitive issue.....

Also, I agree that Indian media is rubbish...

But making comments like "We as muslims have bigger hearts that these indians can never have" is atrocious, disgraceful and insulting...

If he is disgusted by Indian media, we are as well as other Indian PPer's have noted before, but he cannot generalize that and apply it to all Indians....

 

[ITGuy]

 

[MJcricket]

Don't act like your system is perfect, it's same **** in India.

Just take a close look at where India is after 63 years and where Pakistan is (or isn't).

 

[gsivak]

Honestly I don't care what he thinks. It is his view point even if others perceive it as a biased and false one. I think we Indians have astonishing amount of self belief that criticism by one man shouldn't matter.
The only thing that astonishes me is the total lack of intelligence in the man. Right or wrong BCCI is powerful and I am sure no other player from any other country would take on BCCI or India just like that. I don't know whether to feel awe at his courage or laugh at his stupidity...such is Afridi

 

[MJcricket]

That is not harm as much as Indian media continue to promote hatred of Pakistan, and instill on young generations to come. Please, try to stop Indian media from promoting Anti Pakistan for the sake of humanity.

Indian media doesn't have time to talk about Pakistan, they have more important things to talk about. I have never seen/read anything in indian media about Pak that seems untrue.

 

[Dr Khan]

Indian media doesn't have time to talk about Pakistan, they have more important things to talk about. I have never seen/read anything in indian media about Pak that seems untrue.

Yea they have much better things to talk about like "Pakistan ki 'Kaa la Pathar' Practice"

 

[anand99]

First interview he was all about why pakistanis should hate India and how that is so wrong. Next two interviews he is all about how pakistanis are better than indians. What a flip flop. I think he is just trying to pacify a pissed of pakistani public after his initial comments. Understandable that he has to do it to save face, but quite sad and pathetic really.

 

[Fireworks11]

Can't generalise like this. There are individuals from both countries that have good qualities.

 

[desiblue]

I just don't get this truth.... if Pakistanis are so big hearted..which I definitely believe they are.... why on this forum they are keeping on harping about what's wrong with India, how much Indian players are racists...etc. etc...

If you are big hearted prove it by your action and forgive us for our sin. Does that sound too difficult for your big hearts?

 

[jedviper]

I think afridi diverting pak media's attention from the defeat he faced against India.........

Remember wot Afridi said after reachin pakistan.... why we hate Indians so much? we celebrate shadis in indian way..we watch indian movies, drama....listening indian music....

IMO Afridi's later statement is afterthought

correct, just trying a us vs them approach so that Pakistanis look other way for sometime.

As a Pakistani supporter, let me say I second what you're saying. There are specific actions by the Indian media, and the Indian cricket establishment (like the disastrous IPL auction) which he can fairly draw harsh conclusion from, but he should NOT generalize like that. We need to get past these kind of emotive narratives, and air whatever grievances we have with the other country specifically, not tar with a wide brush.

 

[praveen]

Wow almost every member must have posted in this thread. Was watching some indian news channel today, the same one which was hailing afridi was bashing him today. Indian television media is a big piece of crap, why the hell should afridi provide them with fodder? He should concentrate on cricket first and foremost.Also, posters citing Gambhir's ignorant comments should know he aint the captain of a team.

 

[wasim-fan]

Afridi clarifies his first clarification

http://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/videos/?video_id=195596&cat=cricket

He should just stop talking to the media. This is a stupid story and it will die down

 

[Fireworks11]

This needs to stop. We know you love India as a country and playing cricket there.

 

[Indieview]

Now the Pakistani media would ask, why did you say that ? He would feed another story for Pakistani media

 

[Garuda]

she loves me she loves me not

 

[akamaka]

)))
What a joke of an interview.

Afridi said it, now he is trying to uturn

I think when he said those comments he just got really hyper, as he does (biting incident) and saying pakistani's have large hearts well thats the least amount of damage he has done. Though it might have been caused by the stupid indian reports on the pakistan team and afridi's behmaani etc etc. Also he didnt like gamnhir's comments very much. IMO he just got worked up and, tried to be patriotic and please the pak media and ended up looking like a

 

[Garuda]

He is just trying to twist and turn his comment to say he didn't meant what he said.

Its good to have big heart but at same time you should not have big foot in your big mouth.

Anyway, Indian media should now leave Afridi and this issue and move on. Doesn't deserve more than this attention and things like these should be burried asap.

 

[Fireworks11]

Enough of this. Focus on the Windies tour.

 

[NJamal]

What was the need for clarification? Let the Indian people dance to the tunes of their stupid media.

 

[Garuda]

Again IPL. The circle goes on..............

 

[howzzat]

I find it amusing that the captain of a team which lost in semis is giving far more interviews than the captain of world cup winning team.

I am tired of this "awam", "quam", "musalma" ,"chota dil" , "bada dil", "midium sized dil" talks. Just shut up

 

[ShaazE]

Also, posters citing Gambhir's ignorant comments should know he aint the captain of a team.

True, but he is possibly the biggest douche in the history of douchery. He's even outdone the UV.

 

[Sufi Malang]

Seems like Afridi was promised some handsome IPL contract so he started giving very good statements about India (jsut when he arrived). Now maybe theres some doubt that he will be invited to IPL and suddenly he takes a U-Turn and is having a go at Indians!!! He tries to be smart but he ain't one!

 

[dhump]

Not needed at all no clarification required.

Afridi stop being a political figure and concentrate on criket.

BTW did ghambir give any clarification of what he said ? I feel both Him and Afridi similarly pathetic with their on-air opinions.

 

[Specialist!]

I don't blame Afridi for bad mouthing India after he went back to Pakistan.

+1

Exactly. Well said Mithun.

Some extremist mullah would have threatened Afridi with dire consequences. Bringing religion into sports and in everywhere has become a fashion in Pakistan.

remember Malik's religious rant after losing to us in the T20 WC?

"I apologise to all muslims in the world." wat crap.....
(might not have quoted exactly)

 

[Dr. Khan]

In this situation, I for one feel for Afridi.

He wants to say one think but I believe at times he does not use the right words. I believe his real issue was with the Indian media and how the portrayed him rather than a generic comment aimed at all of India.

On a different note, even our media has not been kind as of late. Especially the likes of Aamir Sohail, Arif Abassi, and the Dunya TV host. It became exceedingly clear that some try to put a spin on things in illusions of grandeur. It was clear that the two were making innuendos as they want to be running things in the PCB. I say this as I have not heard Afridi say anything against Younis and Misbah.

I agree with some posters - he should now just stay away from the media. Make some good performances in W.Indies and all these buffoons will go away.

Thats what I was just telling my friend over lunch.

Where is Dhoni ? Even in the victory lap he was not so much visible and after the day he is just no where to be seen except mandatory appearances.

May be that's why media is dying to pull few others who can give them some masala.

 

[praveen]

I have heard of "U" turn, this must be a "W" turn in progress.

 

[Specialist!]

Isko kisne captain banaya re????

Inzi was good. atleast chup toh rehta tha...

 

[Suresh Iyer]

Now just see this thread and watch how the Indian posters who were all singing praises for Afridi start to hate him to limits.

I am Indian. I still like him, but there's no denying that he didn't think well before speaking. He's a good guy despite everything.

 

[style_guru]

Yes I agree to what this lump has said. It does take a big heart to Tamper the ball, Hit a fellow player with a bat, get tested positive for dope, get caught with marijuana, dance on the pitch, bite the ball, bowl no balls for money and much more...
I certainly see that no team in the world has got a heart that is as big as the Pakistan cricket players.

Seriously what a dumb statement. This is a reflection of the fact that why Pakistan hasn't got many friends in the world today.

P.S: I can feel his dilemma. If he is diplomatic (like his earlier statements), he is targeted by the hardliners of Pakistan. If he utters such nonsense to please the public and hardliners, the image of the country as well as his own image gets a thumbs down globally.

 

[Master Blaster]

Afridi backtracks again (as on 5/4/2011), says he loves India and has been misquoted by the media.

Bad news for Indians, guess they too suffer from the medical condition of having big hearts just like other big hearted people known by Afridi.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Wow almost every member must have posted in this thread. Was watching some indian news channel today, the same one which was hailing afridi was bashing him today.

Tell me why am I not surprised?

If tomorrow I come to your house and praise you, you will have a good impression about me. Then I go back to my house and bad-mouth you to my neighbours. What reaction will you have?

[sanju]

True.

 

[Garuda]

In his clarification also, he talks about "how ppl should not be sensitive towards small things like what he said" and in the same interview he points out what some Indian media said and Gambhir said.

If you really want to improve relationship and ignore small things for a better cause, start it yourself. Why expect others to follow when you can't?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yes, let us start it. I think it was Afridi who started with a good gesture. Then there was Mr Gambhir. Oh wait we should ignore Gambhir's comments because that was said in the heat of the moment after winning. But then again lets rip into Afridi for pointing out at Gambhir. We always have to stop and not to react because whatever we will get from the other side there has to be a clarification to that.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

If tomorrow I come to your house and praise you, you will have a good impression about me. Then I go back to my house and bad-mouth you to my neighbours. What reaction will you have?

I ripped into Afridi when he said all those things about "Why hate India". Now I hope he has learnt his lesson and won't be asking that stupid question again ever.

And if I come to your house and praise you. When I go back and hear you say stuff against me, how do you want me to react? Keep on praising you? Nah, that won't be real life stuff or will it be?

 

[Garuda]

Yes, let us start it. I think it was Afridi who started with a good gesture. Then there was Mr Gambhir. Oh wait we should ignore Gambhir's comments because that was said in the heat of the moment after winning. But then again lets rip into Afridi for pointing out at Gambhir. We always have to stop and not to react because whatever we will get from the other side there has to be a clarification to that.

Alright, I thought of ignoring but let me not for once

No one is justifying Gambhir's comment. He said crap. Are you happy now?

Now coming back to Afridi, he is advocating good relationship and ignoring small things like his comments as small things. Then why is he not able to ignore himself?

So much for big hearted?

 

[dhyani]

Why Hate India!

let me give you an answer, Because we have beaten you in WC semi-final and are a better team than you ever had! He should hate India!

But i dont think Afridi Fan should hate india, he watches Indian movies and dances to Indian numbers!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Alright, I thought of ignoring but let me not for once

Afridi started a thing by talking good about India, didn't he? Thats why he was praised all over the Indian media.

But if you get the response like what Mr Gambhir said, you think he should continue to talk nice about India?

If that is the definition of big hearted, then my friend I have the smallest possible heart in the entire world.

Afridi made the starting comment. Then Mr Gambhir said what he had to say, now Afridi is responding to that. It is very simple as far as I see it.

I didn't like when Afridi was asking that stupid question of why do we hate India. Now I hope he has learnt his lesson, and won't be stupid again.

He can talk whatever he wants about Gambhir. Why generalize all Indians?

Also, if he expects Indians to ignore his comment saying "chotti baat", why didn't he ignore Gambhir's comment?

Do you think he feels more bad because he has a big heart?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Why Hate India!

let me give you an answer, Because we have beaten you in WC semi-final and are a better team than you ever had! He should hate India!

But i dont think Afridi Fan should hate india, he watches Indian movies and dances to Indian numbers!

LoL! You sure kid I watch Indian movies and dance to Indian numbers? I used to watch the movies yes. But I left that sometime back.

So, according to your definition now I can hate India. And thats exactly what I am doing.

 

[Mr.Saga]

Indian media hardly covered what Gambhir said, yet what afridi said is front page news. He is hot headed and probably lost his cool and any interest in bilateral relationships when he heard what gambhir said. Afridi should look at inspiration from Dhoni. Through the years and even this world cup he remained calm despite all the criticism he kept getting. He has such a grand following yet he decides to stoop to the level of an ugly POS person like Gambhir.

He is feeling bad because he started with a good gesture. And no matter how big hearted you are if you get such a response to your gesture then you simply can't ignore even a choti si baat.

very intelligent! teach some intelligence to your team before they start giving stupid comments about others and each-others.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Tell me this. Was Afridi's 1st comments stupid too before the comments of your Darling Gambhir or you were singing praises of Afridi back then?

You are right to some extent. In both cases the question was originated from media and they should not ask such questions at first place.

In Gambhir's case (not the exact quote but close)

Reporter : Do you think a win over Pakistan will help soothing their pain.
Gambhir : Yes, it will ...... (stupid enough to say "Yes" but it was a horrible question at first place.)


In Afridi's case :

Reporter: How was the behavior of Indian players ? (I mean why you ask such silly things? Were you expecting them to do anything bad ??)

Afridi: He is in a spot as he can't praise them much and hence took the easier path.


In both cases the media, tried to pull out some controversy and they were successful.

 

[Garuda]

He is feeling bad because he started with a good gesture. And no matter how big hearted you are if you get such a response to your gesture then you simply can't ignore even a choti si baat.

So if he can not ignore "choti baat" he has no right to generalize and ask Indians to ignore his choti baat.

Simple. It was bad in his part to brush entire country due to one guy's comment. Even you will agree to that.

 

[90MPH]

Afridi to me at times can be a confused individual both on and off the field, so not that surprised with these comments. Most likely when he got back to Pakistan a lot of people must have told him his recent comments were too pro Indian after the match so he just back tracked to suit those people. Obviously does not look professional but then whole PCB cricket structure is anything but professional so it needs to start at the top first - only then will it filter down to the players.

 

[dhyani]

Tell me this. Was Afridi's 1st comments stupid too before the comments of your Darling Gambhir or you were singing praises of Afridi back then?

afridi spoke his mind! and if he hates india, he should, beacause he is a sportsman and plays his toughest matches against india. "why hate india" was for the common people of pakistan. I bet every player in indian team will also say "why hate pakistan!".

But generalising all indians as small hearted isnt wat he should have done. It is not intelligent. He cant generalize people by looking at the crowds in stadium or the media! India is a big country, much beyond the stadium crowds and media!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

So if he can not ignore "choti baat" he has no right to generalize and ask Indians to ignore his choti baat.

Simple. It was bad in his part to brush entire country due to one guy's comment. Even you will agree to that.

I have the opinion that if the media is so ****ing riled up at Afridi's comments. Then have a go at your own too. If you can't do that then leave our player alone too when he says something about you guys. Period.

True, his comments doesn't sound like his own feelings but sounds more like he is trying to please and do patch job for previous comment.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

True, his comments doesn't sound like his own feelings but sounds more like he is trying to please and do patch job for previous comment.

If he is doing that good for him. Because due to this India love he can surely lose some die hard fans of his. If not some, I won't be an Afridite for sure.

So from Afridi's comment being okay to Gambhir's comment to Indian media ?

You discuss over Indian media and I will fill posts after posts on how horrible and junk they are.

This thread is about Afridi's flip flop comments and I am again saying he was WRONG.

By blaming Gambhir or Indian media doesn't make his comments less wrong. Don't change topic my friend.

But why can't he praise them? He did earlier on. Was the gambhir controversy fresh on his mind? Someone whom he has history with.

By blaming Gambhir or Indian media doesn't make his comments less wrong. Don't change topic my friend.

In my opinion Afridi is just sort of replying to Gambhir's comments thats why Gambhir has to be in this thread.

There are two statements of Afridi. Pre Gambhir, Indians love him.

Post Gambhir, Indians hate him.

I don't see how exactly am I changing the topic here.

 

[Garuda]

If he is doing that good for him. Because due to this India love he can surely lose some die hard fans of his. If not some, I won't be an Afridite for sure.

I am fine with his sentiments if he says he hates India. India can't make everyone love.

But at the same time Indians would be free to comment if someone loves India and within hours hates all Indians and next day he again wants all to ignore his comment and tell them that he actually loves them. Why wouldn't they talk about him?

There are lot of ppl who hate India, do you see Indian media asking this to everyone of them?

In my opinion Afridi is just sort of replying to Gambhir's comments thats why Gambhir has to be in this thread.

There are two statements of Afridi. Pre Gambhir, Indians love him.

Post Gambhir, Indians hate him.

I don't see how exactly am I changing the topic here.

How come Gambhir's statement became Indians statement generally? Gambhir = all Indian?

And if thats the case why is he clarifying now? What changed ?

Look at the thread heading. Its about what Afridi said and my point is what he said is wrong.

He can have his own point but now even looks like he doesn't have one as it swings.

Sure. Indians can talk about him. No one is stopping them. But this is fun for me. Because I didn't like when he made his 1st comments but now, I am back to my Afridite best.

Just Shut up Man!!!!!!!! The more you open your mouth, the more you make your self look like fools. Just play cricket and put a big sock in your mouth because you do not have the intellectual capability to have an adult conversation.
