I didn't hate the guy before. But something about his celebration today when he got Hafeezs wicket made me feel pathetic about this guy.
I understand cricketers moving out of their countries at a young and early age, to find a living elsewhere. I could even understand Imran Tahir doing it at the age he did.
But celebrating the way he did that too against the country of his birth, where his entire family still lives and the country which had sheltered him 2-3 years back before his love-interest helped him get a SAFFER visa just did not feel right.
I've seen football players not celebrate scoring a goal against their former club if that club really meant something to them. But this guy just shamelessly runs around giving flying kisses to his wife and grunts and punches the air as if he has just won the World Cup for South Africa.
Partly a rant on my part, but since many PP'ers reside overseas, i would like to ask that if they get a chance to represent their domiciled country against Pakistan, would they react in a similar belligerent/aggressive manner when they take a wicket of a Pakistani player whom they have supported/watched since their childhood?
