Sarfaraz Ahmed was penalized for his "kala" remarks - calling Bavuma a dwarf is no worse, in my opinion

Knowing how black people suffered due to skin color lets not equate this to what safraz did which was way worse.

And i am someone who bashes Indians.
 
This incident is far worse than Rauf incident , calling someone dwarf and sister f0cker is just insane, whoever said that deserves 10 match ban.
 
Justice is served India number one team my foot, well done Bavuma and well done south africa you have shown India their Aukaat
 
Calling him Bauna completely backfired. It fired up Temba and the whole South African team, who clearly did not appreciate that insult towards their captain. They came out fully charged and played like a team with a point to prove.

South Africa used all of that as motivation and ended up beating India on a pitch that was supposed to favour India in the first place.

With ashwin retired and a batsman missing and playing two wicket keepers and bits and pieces players like Axar no pitch would favour India
 
Indians should be the last people on earth doing name calling.

Its for their own good.

Just an advice for all indians here

That's big hearted from Bavuma to accept an embrace from Bumrah after these hurtful comments.

He really is a wonderful leader.

First of all he wouldn't even have understood. Bavuma is not stupid not to undrestand the context. Some losers tried to spam the social media to make sure it gets to him. It fell flat. End of story.

So what was the "context" behind calling him a dwarf?
:rabada2

If he wanted to refer to his short height for lbw, he could have easily said that in a non offensive way.

It was just distasteful name calling. Stop defending it.

He didn't call him dwarf. Stop using l iteral translation without understanding how common the usage of such words. If you do literal translation of Srilankan languages it will look real ugly in English.
 
Pretty poetic that Bavuma was the guy who ended up playing a match winning innings in the match

He did 100% call him dwarf. I understand how the language works very well perhaps you don't (are you south Indian ?)
I would advice you stop embarrassing yourself further.

Well in south indian equivalent word can both be interpreted as short people and dwarf or midget. You have no choice but to use that word. If you directly translate it will look ugly. That is why context matters. Do you think nobody knows he is not a dwarf? Seriously?

That's why I asked you to stop. Because you are arguing about something of which you don't have understanding.

Why are you going to south Indian equivalent and then thinking it's the same in Hindi lol.

I'm telling you from direct understanding, it 100% is offensive and far from a "no choice situation" as you think.

How common is that word matters don't you think. BC is a derogatory word too. Kohli uses all the time against his own players. So does Rohit, So does most players.

Um, no. "Bauna" isn't even a common term. No comparison with beesee which is a legendary explosive slang with a variety of uses.

Anyway, I earlier thought you were just blindly defending cuz he's Indian player.

Now I see you are south Indian and probably genuinely mistaken, which is OK.

Amazing that people are still defending this shameful language...

They will defend anything and everything, as long as it's done by a indian.

The wheels fall off once someone from the opposition does it, then all hell breaks loose. Look at how they are crying over that catch off Maaz Sadaqat in an inconsequential game at the end of the day.
 
Temba Bavuma took these words seriously and now his team whitewashed India...LOL
 
What happens on the field stays on-field but you don't forget what is said

Our Test series victory against India was incredible. The craziest stat was that the last time we had won a Test series there was in the late Hansie Cronje's days as captain, in 2000. The fact that we did it two and a half decades later speaks to the magnitude of our performance and overall achievement. It's another feather in our cap as a side, and we're growing very well as a Test team.

My first tour to India was back in 2015. India claimed the Test series 3-0 and I only played in the fourth and final Test, in Delhi. In 2019, it was really not a great one. We got hammered 3-0 in the series, with India winning by an innings twice.

I guess we came into the 2025 series knowing how tough it can be. You don't want to admit it as such but there are scars that still kind of live there. You just hope that you don't reopen those wounds or relive those moments. There was that from a mental point of view, but also, with past experience, you know how tough it's going to be.

From a technical point of view, you have a better understanding of what you need to do to be successful in those conditions. India is one of those places where you have to play there to experience it all and understand what you need to do in order to be successful. I'm very glad that the negative emotions and experiences of the past were not present this time round.

Comparing the Tests, I preferred the second match, in Guwahati, because that is proper Test cricket. Batting in the first Test, in Kolkata, wasn't easy. We had anticipated mentally that we might play on rank turners, so we were able to accept what was in front of us and weren't overwhelmed by the situation.

"Prepare for the worst, hope for the best" will always be my mantra. But it's important that when you get the best, like we did in the second Test, you take advantage. For me personally, my biggest gripe with myself was that when conditions were in my favour in the first innings of the second Test, I wasn't able to really cash in per se with the bat. Selfishly, as a batter you know that in conditions like that, if you get in, there is a real opportunity for you to get big runs.

I know from my side there was an incident where they said something in their language about me. At the end of the day two senior players, Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah, came and apologised

In terms of coach Shukri getting the best out of us as players, that groundwork has been in play since we started. Shuks instils confidence in the players and makes them believe that they are the best. The premise is that if we play at our best, no one can stand near us.

He was probably a lot more intense than I've seen him, but it was understandable - we were playing India in India, which is a big task. We have always wanted to prepare ourselves for these types of encounters. Between the two of us, there were months on end speaking about India. What type of team and players did we want? And what did we need to do to be successful? It wasn't a case of getting to India and saying, "Okay, how are we going to do things?" The seed was planted long before the Test series.

Shukri and I had conversations about how we wanted to continue being No. 1. One of the ways is by beating the best teams in their own conditions, stepping up to the occasion. A series against India is always going to be intense, and when it's heated, it makes it even more of a spectacle and motivates the players further. As long as the respect is still intact between players, it's all good with whatever happens on the field.

I know from my side there was an incident where they said something in their language about me. At the end of the day two senior players, Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah, came and apologised. When the apology was made, I was in the dark about what it was about, I hadn't heard it at the time and I needed to check in with our media manager about it.

What happens on the field, stays on the field but you don't forget what is said. You use it as fuel and motivation, but there are no grudges per se.

Shukri also took some heat for his "grovel" remark. I was put under pressure by the media on that side, asking me to clarify the comments that were made. I thought Shukri was the man best positioned to give context to it all. The first time I heard about it, it had that unsavoury taste to it, but I think it just reminded me how tough and competitive the Test series was and what it meant to certain individuals within the group. Shukri spoke after the ODI series and put that issue to bed. In hindsight, he said he could have chosen a better word and I agree with him.

Aiden Markram, aka "Sauce", who led the Test side in my absence in Pakistan, was also a good sounding board during the series. We had our chats before the India Test series about his learnings from Pakistan and where the team was at. We continue to work well together on the field and I value his input around tactics and the final make-up of the team. I try to tap into as many resources as I can, and Aiden, with his good feel for the game, is one of those.

I have a feeling that “grovel” comment is not dead either. At some point during a heated game a reference to it will be made. Just a hunch.
