"They (West Indies batsmen) are playing for their places" : Ahmed Shehzad

[fazleefridi]

Haha, it was epic.

I don't know whether to laugh or have pity on him.

Then, what is he playing for?

Should have been four times out in a score of 70.

 

[syed abbas]

Pathetic statement from a pathetic and mediocre batsman.

 

[phoenix363]

It was a good sledge. Regardless of where it came from.

From the posts above it seems only Bradman and Lara should have ever been allowed to sledge...

 

[Square Drive]

Haha, liked that sledge.

Yes, you can sledge.

But, it's the words he used.

He himself, has played selfishly, to keep his place in the team. And he's pointing out others

But again, the point of a sledge is to get under the batsmans skin and try and put them off their game. It doesn't have to be from a credible source and can be effective even if hypocritical.

Otherwise how can a bowler sledge a batsman for playing a poor shot when they themselves are much worse... How can an average cricketer ever sledge someone who's better than him etc.

 

[aloo paratha]

Pretty rich coming from Shezzi boi

 

[Poutine]

Is this the most ironic sledge ever?

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

A sledge is a sledge boys

 

[Syed1]

Shezzy boy only dishing out what he himself has been receiving..

 

[Sadevdesai]

He probably thinks WI batsmen are batting like Him !!!

Anything that ahmed kohli says is a fact and a truth. Did you see the potholes in the potch yesterday? He braved it out there. And his x-ray vision, even when he was lbw plumb, he knew the bowler balled a no ball and umpire made a mistake. And he let them get embarrassed and humiliated by taking a review. You don't mess with ahmed kohli.

That's not a sledge... Thats quite a demeaning accusation.

 

[hitthestump]

Maybe Shezzy knows something we don't if he's that confident that his own place is safe.

 

[phoenix363]

Oh because sledging is normally such a classy act and should be limited to pleasentries.... I don't think anyone posting in this thread has actually ever played a cricket match, or certainly not one where there is sledging.

 

[phoenix363]

What about when Michael Clark threatened Anderson with a broken effing arm? I guess that was allowed because Clark is a better batsman then Shehzad? Or it's not calling the integrity of Anderson into question which aparently is whete the line is?

This is their actual problem. AS and UA think themselves as they are the Lara and Sachin of pak for very less they have achieved as a batsmen. No change in their attitudes yet but made comebacks already. Ok let's keep their attitudes aside, if we look into their game it is still the same with zero improvement on for what they are dropped. If they don't know how to sound professional when they talk should zipped it. With PCB AS and UA there is never a dull moment.

clarke could afford to say this without looking stupid

here shehzad comes across a bit thick saying this when you see the irony.

 

[Hawkeye]

Does anyone have a video of this joke saying this?

Their attitude issues are well documented and i was a huge fan of both but agree they have regressed so much that they should be nowhere near the team for the next five years.

However, once again, this does not reduce their ability to sledge. If anything they have the confidence to do it while most of our other timid players dont.

sledging becomes a joke when it is not from the player who has the privilege to do so which he earned by his sheer performance on field..

 

[MRSN]

after a wonderful knock of 70, he can sledge now.

 

[Hitman]

Remember all of you when Saj mentioned about this man's behavior and attitude from his personal experience even before he made his debut?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Whats wrong with the sledge , yes its a bit ironic but its a really good sledge.

 

[Slog]

YES [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] was spot on

 

[JaDed]

Source?

Hilarious if true ,him UA ,SK are the biggest thread spinners.Hopefully windies return the favor!

Tbh its boring when he doesn't speak much.

 

[Hitman]

YES [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] was spot on

And Saj said that from his personal experience of interacting with Shehzad. Not by hearing of it from other people. That too before he made his debut.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

How ironic.I mean if he'd scored some good runs he could have said that,but...

 

[Pollack]

This is in poor taste. Why did he say that?

 

[Abdullah719]

This is in poor taste. Why did he say that?

This was his way of trying to get under their skin.

No big deal, I think some of the reactions are a bit OTT. This is a fairly mild sledge compared to what others come up with.
