Rafique blows hot and cold - Page 2

Zobair · #26 January 27, 2005, 07:54 PM

Well! its official! Rafique has a temper problem...Hopefully he will work on it...but more importantly he should have the good sense to know afterwards that he was out of line and that he needs to apologise. Not everyone is the same...Every team will have its colourful characters...qualities that may help you on-field may get you into trouble off it...as long as everyone concerned keeps it in perspective! Discipline is key and the law should be laid down in a manner in which it is most effective.

u know what i say rafiq is a tiger . what ever he does , for that some thing cause always left in behind. rafiq only said shut up and raise his bat, but if i am in the rafiq place than i should hit the physico and brake his head in two picecs.

mohammed rafique has some atitude problem. but he is one of our most valuable player if not the most valuable player. i hope he can keep his temper down because he is the most senior player in the team. he needs to set good example for the young players. i hope he uses him anger in next two matches and rocks zimbabwes batting.

Rafique's market was on fire? Which one, Banga bazaar?

And what happened last time with Bash in Jeembabwe?

Flip Master Mick · #30 January 28, 2005, 01:25 AM

it is unfortunate that we are passing judgement on Rafique without actually knowing what went down during the practice session... people, don't forget that we are after all hot headed bangalis... tto my fellow expats - stop acting white, will ya? anger management counseling doesn't apply for our cricketers... they are already too docile to the point of being effeminate... the guy just lost his investments... add to that our dismal performance in the first two games... give our true tiger a break...

then you definitely need to see a shrink!

I agree. But he should not lose his temperament and shout with offensive gesture. I believe M. Rafiq was at the end of his patience after all the negatives happened to him and to the team and country.
Let's hope he calms his anger by taking more wickets and scoring more runs tomorrow.

Bloody crap. Because of this incident our team might go down!

and then go to jail for 1st degree murder. Ok may be not (for you), you may have a Mama.... but Rafique doesn't have any. Therefore he would be in jail by now.

Maybe Rafique is frustrated that Enamul Huque jr. has stolen his thunder a wee bit.

you guys are making a big deal out of a small incident. This won't change anything.

Passionate & aggressive people are needed for some functions in sports as well as life. These traits help them become successful at what they do where there talents may not have been enough. The sportrs industry is flooded with superstars who have tamper problems.

You want a dragon, it'll blow fire.

oh how fast the fans will ditch him when Rafiq's talents will fade and/or Enamul catches up with him!

Rafiq is destined to die as a sad lonely man.

All this glitter and accolades in vein.

Curse of a sports superstar.

what Rafique did is punishable and that shud be done after the series and same goes for Hunt. But Rafique do need a course on anger management.

As you can see my first post stated how insignificant this issue is...

People came down so hard on him for this. Once his skills erode and his temper escalates with age he will be treated worse than a used tampons by most of his current fans. Got it?

I hope this explanation will convince you not to send me to a psychatrist as my insurance only covers 30 visits a year and I have used it all up already.

Session in every day plus couple of double session per day.... Matha ta tahole Bhaloee Kharap.

Hmmmm.. Have you thought about that mental hospital in BD?

Well it looks like we all are one-sidedly blaming Rafique for the whole incidence. We are not thinking about the other side of the story. We don't know what the physio said to him. It might be something really really offending..... and that's why raqfique reacted so oddly. Before bashing Rafiq we should have known that part too. You guys are giving David Hunt a free pass.....wow!!!!

Blah · #39 January 28, 2005, 01:24 PM

What could be so offensive that someone would raise a bat to hit someone in front of his opponents, his team, journalists and all the well-wishers who were watching them practice?

If anyone says something offending to me, I don't raise a bat and chiase him through the ground I would confront him verbally. The fact that he is one of the senior-most-talented player in the team, and the fact he is a hero and idol to most yougster, and that he has done it before (with the captain) leaves a bad taste.

Last time he had a fight because (if I recall correctly) someone suggested that Enam (or someone else) was a better bowler than him. Go figure.

I admit he is a great asset to our team, and he has proved himself several times over; but nothing gives him a passport to do whatever he wants. he is a professional cricketer not a "chipa-goli" player.

Having said all that, I hope he gets his **** together before the next game.

Blah

pagol-chagol · #40 January 28, 2005, 01:46 PM

give rafiq a break
Actually give him 100 breaks.
And worship him the rest of your life.

If Rafiq wasn't born
most fans,even of this board, would have been rightfully screaming to take BD test status away. Before he came we could get any team all out, remember? It was a horrendous display of cricket. Any confidence we have in anything now, he started it.

He came and saved us.

Any doubts about that?

Blah · #41 January 28, 2005, 01:51 PM

pagol, you are truely talking like one. No wonder.

He served the team well doesnt give him a righ to do whatever he wants. Maybe it's acceptable for you. But not everyone shares your level of tolerance. When you do it once, its a mistake when you do it again, its intentional.

No I will not give him a break, again.

Blah

pagol-chagol · #42 January 28, 2005, 02:32 PM

Blah - he didn't do anything to get prosecuted, it seems.

Why are blowing it out of proportion.

He didn't do "whatever". He said shut up to someone. So what. He can say "shut up' to anyone other than whatmore and his other gurus. Michael Jordan only respected Phil Jackson.

Blah · #43 January 28, 2005, 02:44 PM

"Mohammad Rafique barely escaped disciplinary action ten months after he was forced to fly back home from Harare following a heated exchange with his captain Habibul Bashar.

The experienced left-arm spinner, who missed the first three one-day games because of a strained hamstring, lost his composure for the second time while going through a fitness test at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.

This time the leading wicket-taker of the country engaged in a verbal war with team physio Robbie Hunt at the latter stage of a gruelling one-hour fitness test.

A visibly excited Rafique, who was at that time practising running between the wickets, furiously raised his bat at Hunt before fitness trainer Stuart Karpinnen intervened.

The unsavory incident stunned members of both the Bangladesh and Zimbabwe teams, who were also training at the time.

Rafique then walked off the ground with his head hanging over his shoulder and stayed inside the dressing room for the reminder of the training. "

I assume you read it?

i agree with pagol-chagol.:P

just saying shut up to someone or raising bat is not that a great offence when you consider an incident where wasim akram punched amir sohail ........ and surprise surprise , they played together in many matches after that. It is sports, physical stuff, players are going to have hot heads and they know that themselves more or less, but not us armchair supporters

shaad · #45 January 28, 2005, 05:31 PM

Two points:

1) Yes, we don't know what caused Rafique's outburst. And if the physiotherapist said something offensive then, yes, he too should be held responsible.

2) However, that's doesn't excuse his raising his bat at someone.

There are some of you here who point at bratty superstars and use them as examples for condoning rude behaviour. Just because those "icons" of yours never learnt good sportsmanship is no reason for our boys to emulate them.
