[Hasan123]

Warners batting is what gets him selected for the IPL.

 

[babajee]

Obviously, money reigns supreme.

[jagatk]

Yes very correct and in other news moon landing was faked and the world is controlled by illuminati. Enough with the conspiracies folks.

 

[TM Riddle]

If I'm not wrong he did have an altercation with the team the last time we played them so Nasser is wrong on that part.
Besides Warner is a champion bat and one of the superstars of IPL. Doublt he would care.

 

[Kroll]

Some not so subtle trolling there by Nasser lad.

 

[TM Riddle]

Yeah let's drag India in this mess to make this saga even more spicy.
And then folks blame Indian fans.

 

[shane]

Nasser Hussain is an intelligent guy. I think he is mixing up what he would do if he was David Warner with what David Warner actually does. In the process, he is making the mistake of presuming David Warner is also intelligent.

 

[Boi]

lol Nas won't be getting an IPL commentary gig now I guess

 

[rhony]

Because Kohli has a bigger mouth!!!

 

[nighthawk23]

It is not just about the IPL. Warner has various business interests in India.

 

[pillionrider]

Nasser's rare goofup.

Off the top of my head, Warner's run-ins with Indians:

Rohit Sharma
Shikhar Dhawan
Umesh Yadav
Jadeja

 

[Sherlock]

Some context. This was Nasser Hussain today just after the SAvAus close of play, on Sky Sports. He was asked about the ball-tampering by Bancroft.

 

[Send1983]

Yeah let's drag India in this mess to make this saga even more spicy.
And then folks blame Indian fans.

If you want your comment or message to be famous or to have more hits, just make comment about India good or bad. It’s like politicians and cine stars in Tamil Nadu making comments about Rajini, so whole Rajini fans and other tamilians would watch that You tube video or news.

 

[Send1983]

If you had followed his career as a commentator, you would find that he didn't have anything nicer to say about Indian team.I still remember 2011 thrashing in England when he specifically targeted Indian players a lot.
Always came across as sore loser in that respect tbh.

Yes I still remember this comment asking his fellow commentator “don’t they bowl bouncers in IPL?” When Indian team was struggling to get past first round in 2009 t20 WC.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Nasser's rare goofup.

Off the top of my head, Warner's run-ins with Indians:

Rohit Sharma
Shikhar Dhawan
Umesh Yadav
Jadeja

Those were little spats.

Imagine if Warner bought in Dhoni or Kohlis mother/sister in to the sledging? There goes his IPL contract for life.

Nasser is bang on, Warner naturally knows where the line is when the line is money related.

 

[TM Riddle]

Yes I still remember this comment asking his fellow commentator “don’t they bowl bouncers in IPL?” When Indian team was struggling to get past first round in 2009 t20 WC.

Also the famous superstars comment.
Hard to believe he's originally from India.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Well Davey did say he wont sledge Kohli, which goes against his character.

Having said that im not sure he is smart enough to do what Nasser is accusing him off

 

[BreadPakoda]

Yeah let's drag India in this mess to make this saga even more spicy.
And then folks blame Indian fans.

How is this an attack on India? Didn't get you and few other here. Nasser is basically saying that Warner is money-minded.

 

[Send1983]

Also the famous superstars comment.
Hard to believe he's originally from India.

Yes this guy was born in Chennai and spent initial few yrs in Chennai. Should have something for the country and place you were born. One of his parents is complete Indian.

 

[cricketindiafan]

And why exactly is that wrong? Through his IPL stints, he knows most Indian players better. He's had skirmishes with Varun Aaron and Rohit Sharma. Indians have had a go at him multiple times but things haven't gone to the nasty level.

Since IPL, most India Aus series have been full of acrimony DESPITE Aussies being the most popular picks across IPL teams.

 

[TM Riddle]

How is this an attack on India? Didn't get you and few other here. Nasser is basically saying that Warner is money-minded.

When did I claim he attacked India, but there was no need for him to drag India in this mess. Knowing Nasser's history, he clearly did it on purpose.

Its more fun that way,in a way Nasser is acknowledging IPL is big and the future

 

[Bewal Express]

You can tell Nasser reads these pages, because i written this before and as have other contributors.

 

[LastManstanding]

I used to post on guardian for few years and can tell you that hate for IPL and Indian cricket was much stronger few years ago. So much hate that they even blamed the spot fixing by Amir on the snub of Pakistani players by the IPL and jealousy caused by seeing inferior players make more money than him.

Bcci and IPL were portrayed as villians and compared to Voldemort who wanted to destroy the magical world of test cricket. They have mellowed down considerably over the years though.

Guardian and Nytimes are liberal papers but somehow are biased against India to the point it becomes silly and obvious, the worst is how I see people sharing their articles criticizing any Indian improvement.

I used to love Guardian as well and they are still a class paper in terms of putting their point across,their sports section is amazing but obviously biased,even during brexit they had a meltdown.

Poor analogy by the English. The Dark Lord was in reality a neo fascist who wanted to preserve the old system.

Its not all that wrong criticism. India quite discriminatingly ban Pakistani players from IPL, using their economic cricket clout, its no different than what Brits and Auses used to do before them. Something we were very critical about in past.

If India Vs Pak test series were going on like Ashes/SA Vs AUS, test cricket would not have been dead in Asia because in Asia, they know conditions best and can give each other run for the money, that would have competed with IPL as well. IPL/PSL etc are one dimensional in many ways, because T20 is a limited format, so many constraints, its like limiting free speech and expression in totalitarian regime and expect artist to thrive. Under BCCI/Indian era loss of test cricket is a huge set back to Cricket as a sport. People who have power share bulk of the blame.

Kind of treatment Amir and Asif got, was not given to top players in past when they were from economically stronger countries. We had discussed to death in other threads, I will not go into details.

 

[HitWicket]

What history?

 

[TM Riddle]

What history?

He has an agenda against Indian team.

 

[HitWicket]

He has an agenda against Indian team.

I assume you've got at least a few examples of this?

 

[Slog]

He has an agenda against Indian team.

Lol why. He once said he is proud to have Indian roots I remember? Or are you basing this off the spat he had won Shastri in 2011? Tbh I found Shastri in the wrong there because he said Nasser has no right to comment on Indian cricket

 

[BreadPakoda]

Under BCCI/Indian era loss of test cricket is a huge set back to Cricket as a sport. People who have power share bulk of the blame.

To be honest, don't feel BCCI or India have anything to do with the decline. They play their 5 match series with a few teams, 3 match with some more. Its actually the other teams that have been reducing their test matches to play more t20.

 

[BreadPakoda]

When did I claim he attacked India, but there was no need for him to drag India in this mess. Knowing Nasser's history, he clearly did it on purpose.

I genuinely feel this isn't a dig at India or an unnecessary "dragging" of India to drive any point. He just meant that Warner is a money-minded person. Now that could be incorrect but it has nothing much to do with India imo.

I am not sure if you get my point. If AUS Vs SA or Ashe tests series does not happen for 15 years, it will damage greatly test cricket in AUS, because those are competitive ones, Ashes is more because of history though. Pakistan not playing India, has damaged test cricket popularity in Asia, that was the premium product of test cricket...

The reason I blame India more, because they were acting more selfish, since IPL they have other money streams, for them killing a thing that can make money for Pakistan was more important. They did not act like a leader but act like a guy who is driven by self interest... They did not realize, there are only two countries who still passionately care about cricket more than anybody else... Test cricket is like what science to technology, science maybe boring and dry for many, but it is the one who makes technology possible.

2011 series in England. If you had followed it you would have known.

Don't tell PCB/ Pak never mixed politics with Cricket in the past... So can't take high ground ..just live with political crisis and each move on their own for better

True. Agree with you on this.

 

[HitWicket]

I did follow it. Off the top of my head the only things I can think of are the massively overblown 'donkey' comment the conflict over Shastris hilarious comments.

 

[Abdullah719]

How is this a dig at India

[ExplicitAI]

I don't remember Warner ever sledging Pakistan players, or maybe he has but I never noticed.

 

[Deewana]

Also the famous superstars comment.
Hard to believe he's originally from India.

any details about that super star comment ? i haven't heard of that before

 

[PukhtoonZalmay88]

Gotta love the balls on this man. Always says it like it is

 

[Ummii]

Warner? I think numbers of aggressive players won't don't want to mess with Indian team because of IPL

 

[shokz1408]

Money talks.

Didn’t Warner sledge Indians too?

Remember the “speak English” incident with Rohit Sharma?

 

[Thomaskutty]

To be fair , Nasser is just echoing what Sehwag said a few months ago about the civilised aussie-IPL link.

 

[pillionrider]

All those criticizing Nasser Hussain as being anti-Indian have no clue what they are talking about. He is the best commentator right now and the fairest. There is no agenda in his work. In the past, he might have been a little desperate to prove his allegiance to the British but that is understandable and shouldn't be held against him.

 

[Jabo]

yes and no

but they tone it down a little againt indian batsman in international matches

in the ipl it doesn't matter too much because that kind of behaviours gets the fans/teams excited so it gets a pass

 

[par]

When Andrew Symonds gets an IPL contract after that incident, what David Warner has to worry about?

 

[Mp812]

How is this an attack on India? Didn't get you and few other here. Nasser is basically saying that Warner is money-minded.

99.99% of world population is probably money minded? Nasser is the other .01%

 

[Rana]

I so wish David Warner gets banned as well as the 'leadership group'. It's like a JR Tolkien word, Cameron Bancroft and the Leadership of the sandpaper

 

[WengerOut]

I don't remember Warner ever sledging Pakistan players, or maybe he has but I never noticed.

Dint need to.

 

[Ab Fan]

Nasir is having fun, lol.

 

[PakLFC]

Other teams are to nice to Aussies. They should sledge the hell out of them making them cry like 5 year old's. These Aussie bully's need to be treated the same way then made to lick their wounds. I remember some years back when Glen McGrath said something nasty to Ramnaresh Sarwan whilst he was batting. Well, the West Indian returned the insults with interest, McGrath was on his knee's. Sledge Australian's a zillion times more, they are not immune to being offended. Just looking at Warner's face makes me angry!

 

[good guy]

so what difference it makes

 

[Varun]

Warner comes across as a little dim - I doubt he can think things so thoroughly.

Though I remember him vociferously defending the IPL in the past on Twitter - vs Australian journos when they had a go at his terrible record away in general, and in India in particular.

 

[IMMY69]

Can’t blame Warner.. it’s human nature.

If he got paid $1m for a few weeks stint in the PSL i’m Sure he’d be lauding it too and act differently towards Pakistan’s players...

This probably goes for every player. The only difference being that Warner comes accross as a bit of bully most of the time.

 

[Rishta Aunty]

So Money speaks even louder than Warner does.

That's good to know.

 

[90MPH]

It’s not just Warner, it’s plenty of other players as well.

This Test series has actually been fascinating - shame about the ball tampering incident otherwise I have watched matches with intrigue.

Compare this to the nonsensical boring 20/20 leagues around the world - I just flick at the score and yawn.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Lol. He is wrong. Warner sledged Indians. But Indians give it back with interest. And the aussies know that neither they nor their board nor the white icc can arm twist the Indian players or bcci.

Kohli once said in a presser that he doesnot follow rules set by the aussies in Australia, when he was told that "what happens in the field stays in the field".

 

[cricketjoshila]

Didn’t Warner sledge Indians too?

Remember the “speak English” incident with Rohit Sharma?

Indians just give it back with interest. I wouldnot be surprised if someone told Warner that he didnot speak hindi while playing in the ipl. That would shut him up.

Why didnt Pakistan choose not to play India for most part of the 90s??

 

[rhony]

I've heard Nasser's commentary over the years. He is sympathetic to Pakistan. He doesn't have anything against Indian players. He hates BCCI though and their Monopoly.

 

[rhony]

It’s not just Warner, it’s plenty of other players as well.

The series has been fascinating 'because' of all these incidents. Just shows how desperate the teams are to win. It's a ratings bonanza

Desperation is fine as long as it doesn’t cross the line.

Physical contact and using foreign objects to get even was going overboard - that’s what spoilt the series.

Otherwise I have enjoyed every minute of it.

 

[dani2k]

Really Nass? Pls google "Speak English" + David Warner.

 

[IndianFan2018]

Nasir is having fun, lol.

Not only Nasir... Michael Vaghuan, Stuart Broad all are on fire

 

[Wonderwoman]

Not only Nasir... Michael Vaghuan, Stuart Broad all are on fire

but no one is high enough to drag his sour grapes about IPL into an event far removed from India.

 

[Savage]

Nasser is correct.In last 3 series(2016 odis,2017 Tests,2017 ODIS),Warner has been relatively quiet against India.Warner was given IPL captaincy in 2015.

 

[Bewal Express]

Really Nass? Pls google "Speak English" + David Warner.

That wasnt sledging, that was a genuine request.
