7 reasons why Afridi bit the ball




1. Afridi had exhausted his supply of chewing gum;

2. Someone told him cricket ball is called cherry and being the unsuspecting soul, he took it rather literally;

3. He was conducting some rudimentary research for a scientific paper on 'Edibility of A Cricket Ball';

4. He wanted to get back at teammates who taunted his bowling lacked bite;

5. To convey the message that Pakistan is not a toothless side;

6. He was doing an Adam-biting-the-forbidden-fruit-in-Garden-of-Eden impersonation for a reality show;

7. He had a bet with Stuart Broad that his teeth are stronger than the Englishman's boot nails.

I was reminded of the headline in NYT

when Mike Tyson chewed off a part of

Holyfield's ears. It read "Chump

Chomp Champ". How funny but how

succinct.

Similar was the incident involving

Afridi.

Shahid aside now, how about the

similar incident involving Stuart

Broad?

TV cameras clearly picked up Broad

stamping the ball with his spikes. Is

that not tantamount to tampering the

condition?

Hey, Western Media pundits where are

you?

A point that was clearly pointed out

by Nasser Hussain as well as Vaughan

when the incident happened. "What a

furore it would have created had the

same been done by an Asian/Pakistan

player?". Aspersions regarding the

motive would been cast on the whole

team.

Well, nothing happened, SA after much

kerfuffle just let it settle down

meekly.

As to the shenanigans of Sunny the

Greatest (yes the Greatest Batsman

including Bradman) to have ever

graced cricket, now is it not proof

of how different are the treatments

meted out to Aus, Eng, NZ, SA players

vis a vis Asian players for similar

actions?

This happens to be second incident in

a short span of time.

Of course Chris(t) Broad (am not

alluding any pun for his surmame:))

would certify and vouch for good

conduct of the snow whites and would

be ordained if required by Mike

Procter.
