Is she sarcastic? What's her age?

 

[pullshot]

Is she sarcastic? What's her age?

23 as per Cricinfo.

 

[Lords]

^^ She is old enough to play cricket for England.

She is neither sarcastic nor serious. Its just her appreciation towards Kohli's batting display today.

 

[Stark]

First she needs to get the spelling corrected.

Probably His tribute for Misbah

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

How can someone still be Kamran Akmal's fan? Why is he living in his delusional world? I don't think that he would have many fans.

 

[96NotOut]

Maybe it's chaaplosi. He stays at 3.

And poor Kami, the word fans made me feel for him.

Twitter's verifying accounts pretty quick these days, aren't they?

Umar Akmal, Hafeez, Kamran Akmal, Umar Gul, Ahmad Shahzad, all got verified in quick succession. Wahab Riaz and Umar Amin are still unverified.

Is azam__hammad Hammad Azam's real Twitter? What's Shan Masood's?

The same guy who tweets for his brother.

Kamran's tweets are in very good English, sounds like a natural's tweeting.

In hindsight him being interviewd in Urdu may not have been too bad.

 

[Mamoon]

He can tweet in Urdu-English anyway, not many non-Pakistanis are going to follow Pakistani cricketers except for Afridi and Malik (Indian connection).

 

[Mamoon]

Or rather media training them so they don't embarrass themselves and the country.

I don't see anything wrong with it.Its better than to go out not knowing what to say.The thing with Pakistani cricketers is that most of them say weird stuff in Urdu also.

Making a nuisance of any language publicly is embarrassing. If you aren't well versed, don't use it. No point in attempting to punch above your weight.

Pretty small crowd for the World T20 champions.

That's a bit more long term, although I'd surmise that English is a lot more easier to learn than other languages.

Exactly my thought, when Pakistan won back in 2009, the whole nation was jubilant.

I agree. English is a rather simple language.

You have to take their population into account as well.

Simple in that knowing the basics are passable, but greater mastery takes more complex thinking.

Many soccer players converse in their own language.

 

[Mamoon]

Many soccer players converse in their own language.

There is a difference between cricket and football.

Almost every cricketing playing nation either speaks English or has English as its official language which has made English a sort of official language of cricket.

Its only Pakistani players that need translators in post match interviews. Its job of the the PCB to media train their players.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

I agree with media-training the players. If I remember correctly, Sri Lanka Cricket have arranged English classes for Chandimal and some other players.

The question is not about heritage or the national language, the question is: what is the harm in learning English?

It's not about impressing others, but making a fool of yourself.

What's so bad about learning English anyway?

Many soccer players converse in their own language.

Yes, but those people can speak English too, at least most of the time. Even if they can't, they're learning, and besides, soccer is prevalent in countries where English is not widely spoken.

If our players started speaking in Urdu, even that would be better than talking in unitelligible English.

Agreed, if you are not comfortable in speaking English, then stick to your mother tongue or take help of a translator instead of making a total hash of it.

He is referring to Peter Moores being handed a second chance! He has made statements recently about his ambition to play test cricket again for Eng and wanting to score 10k runs (sigh!).

All his hopes were dashed when Paul Downton came out with a statement yest that there is no place for 'disengaged' KP in the team. Cited examples of how KP behaved in the recently concluded Sydney test. I think this is the final nail in his coffin.

What did KP do in Sydney?

 

[EliteCynic]

Re: Tweets by Cricketers Thread

What did KP do in Sydney?

This what he had to say (amongst various other things) - " Go back to Australia and watch what happened. I watch quite a lot of cricket. What you saw was a senior England player who had become disconnected from the team," Downton said. "I watched every ball of that Sydney Test and I've never seen anyone so disengaged from what was going on. What you need from a senior player is backing, support, everyone working together and we'd just got to a stage where that was no longer the case."

I think there are two things to note here 1. The simmerring tension with KP was almost at the peak and something had to give. 2. Someone has to be a scapegoat in a debacle.

I think England have decided to live without KP, which could mean losing your best batsman but, I think they are OK to go ahead.

Afridi and Ahmad Shahzad hung out in Lahore and had a typical Lahori nastha : paye, halwapoori, cholay, meethi lassi - the works.

Both of them updated their twitters about this. Frankly, I was too hungry to embed the tweet.
