Afridi banned for two T20s for ball-tampering

[Dawkins]

Does he get to be captain after the ban ?

 

[EagleEyes]

I want him as captain.

We have no hope otherwise.

Taking a bite should however not be done. If it is illegal..then dont do it.

Bizarre day in Perth. Tackling fans and ball biting within the space of half an hour.

It gives a new meaning to the saying

HUNGRY FOR SUCCESS

Don't you agree

HE HAS BAD TASTES IN LIFE

 

[Hyde]

Pakistani media should really embarass him. He got off with very light punishment.

Idiot was actually chewing it down. We don't want a win like that!

agree

and lets hope he does not make any other stupid mistake just before the WC. We need him in the WC and if any similar mistake is found in future he will definitely be banned for a longer period...... this time he was lucky to get away with it...... may be Umpires made some exceptions for him considering his long career with clean history..... but it won't happen again in future

@firefighter

i cant see the reason to blame indian media and indian players in a context like this.
Leave aside indians even pakistani members are openly critisising his deed.

 

[DesiGuy]

well, this is very embarrassing moment for that guy.

sorry to ask what about the 2005 Pakistan Vs England test match by damaging the Pitch???

 

[DaRk WaVe]

I just can't stop laughing, he was like as if he's eating it

had ho gae....

 

[Red Dwarf]

He is playing Cricket for more than a decade now. If he is still ignorant to how he should behave, i don't know what to say.

The match referee was Ranjan Madugalle. May be thats the reason his punishment was reduced to just 2 T20s. He deserved a harder punishment than this.

 

[hero]

PCB should also ban 2-3 matches on Afridi. This will send clear message to player and gives respect to other clean pakistan players.

 

[FireFighter]

Some people bite nail when they get tense. May be he did when tensed without knowing it.

We're all condemning it no doubt it was very bad and not done in spirit of the game.

But u see an Australian spectator entered the ground and took down a Pak player Khalid Latif, it wasn't funny at all as videos showed that he was in pain in the ribs, now you're hypocritical and idiotic media won't even bother highlighting and raising that issue, rest assured had it been your cricketer your media would've made all sorts of hue and cry about suing the Australian board and ground staff and security.

To be honest, Harbhajan slapping Shreesanth is far more embarrassing and stupid than Afridi eating ball. Heck your media wasn't even allowed to air the video of the incident.

actually all great pakistani bowler did ball temparing including great bowler like wasim,waqar. I don't know why they did ball temparing cause they already were great at that time.

YouTube - Cheating pakistan cricketer

Take a look at your own cricketers and you'll find a ton of cheating and ball tempering instances. Heck back in the days rules weren't so clear and almost ALL great bowlers tempered the ball...Aussies and english players used to do so openly and it was only fair for others to follow suit.

So stop this stupid bias and idiocy singling out only Pakistan players.
