Please teach this to our other friends who are furious at the sledging incident.

I thought Zaheer said something really bad to Ryad today,am I right?
Anyway,sledging is perhaps a part of crckt but Ind team during this tour surely lost a lot of respect
& admiration from Bd fans.
This is why I don't support Ind & PAk but I support Srilanka cause they are a grt team & very disciplined.

sagankara sledging funny

[capslock]

Meh, I've heard worse sledging. And he answered them with his bat so there.

[BD-Shardul]

Guys, also remember that Tendulkar, the greatest cricket players, promptly clapped after Mushy reached the milestone. I think that gesture was enough to make Mushy forget all the sledging that took place before. He better left what happened in the field in the field. Act like man my dear tigers!

[Yameen]

guys dont feel disheartened by the sledging, expect more in the next test..

it shows that the indian boys are starting to feel threatened by our cricket..they would never have done it if it were 5 years ago when we used to get thrashed by an innings

but for a bunch of 35 year olds to sledge a 21 year was a bit uncalled for.

Dude, you forgot to complete Mushfiq's comment:

They called me school boy.But I was enjoying it and I had answered it with my bat," Mushfiqur,

Yep, When Riyad moved away from the crease, Zaheer had to stop midway and got pissed

Yes, if he got affected by that sledge, he probably deserved to be called a schoolboy

hahahaaa, I've been always supporting West-Indies from my childhood before BD came into Int.cricket scenario. Don't know why I was never so eager to support Ind or Pak, now I know..LOL.

he already has. and mind you the expletives he was using would get me banned if I posted here.

this is not age group cricket dear. next you will ask the pacers to bowl slowly because the batsman is fifteen !!

He wasn't complaining. He did what he had to do - score a 100. Don't get ahead of yourself.

if these comments make fans lose respect of the Ind team, that respect wasn't worth anything in the first place. I mean this is just banter, it is not even sledging.
where were you when shahadat was abusing rahul dravid's parents on first day ?

It's a sport and these things make it more enjoyable and competitive. A good sportsman will take it for what it is and smack the opponent, like Mushfiq did.

He didn't have a problem with that. At lease he didn't say so.

not at all. this type of sledging happens all the time.it happened much more in ranatunga's time because he tried to develop a 'rough and dirty' aura around the team.
but few teams use expletives as badly as the aussies.

[cricket_pagol]

Hats off to Mushy for responding to the sledge with such aplomb... This kid has character!!!
