i guess that Viru is trying to make a living via comments.

 

cant blame him

[velu]

but our players can bully them

 

[beetle]

Classless comments have become his usp.

time for thala to start bullying smith

[putrevus]

Sehwag needs to shut up sometimes, some of his comments recently have just been crude and classless.

[Khota]

Can someone tell Virender Sehwag to shut up.

[mancalledsting]

based on his personality, you can see why he never made the most of his immense talent. He doesn't come across as a level headed guy. 

[goose]

not the most preposterous thing i've heard

He's fallen in love with the idea of "not being afraid" to say "controversial" things.   Once you start that tweeting addiction, you have to keep finding things to say, day in, day out.  Sooner or later, you are going to phuck up and say dumb things.   With Veeru's "no filter" approach, expect more of the same, early and often.

Sure not the right thing to say but be honest there is some truth to it. Can you imagine money smith will attract next year.

[Cricketics]

Sehwag talks a lot. He needs to be given a lesson like how Bhogle was omitted from commentary team. May be that is what will help him.

Viru is playing this candid straight shooter role in his mind, its just that eventually he will look back and go wtf was i thinking...or may be not. 

[Vk1]

He's played ipl for so many years... he sure knows something about the franchisees BCCI and stuff. Lot of examples to prove this... Jimmy Amarnath as chief selector  wanting to drop Dhoni and Srini mama dismissing it. There must be some truth in it. 

[gakgupta]

remember maxwell had to say sorry for sledging dhoni couple of years back....he was threatened to loose his IPL contract...

Viru is 100% correct

[King Tendulkar]

Please understand sehawag. New career now 

 

trying to get attention and a role as controversial no holds barred pundit . As end of day it's bussienss and he feels this will make him most money . Fair enough I say , we all gotta earn the corn lol

Michael Vaughan comes to mind in an English context. Will always have an opinion and wants to stick out with that.

 

Fundamental issue is with the media. Need the spicy news. Lets be frank here. Even though ICF a non profit we are still discussing Viru. Keeps him in the limelight. So i guess it worked. 

 

Its the same with somebody like Rashid Latif or even Shoaib Akther.

 

Making outrageous comments  is a new business model for some cricketers.  I very much doubt Viru will look back and think wtf was I saying. He will look back at the money he made by being a "straight shooter" and smile.

 

Its not just cricket btw, lets see we got Firstpost, The Wire, The quint, DailyO, Postcard news, Catch News, Scroll and a whole host of internet only news sites now in operation. You need constant wtf comments to feed of to sustain yourself.

 

What India needs is 5-6 major news corporations. Instead by having hundreds of news outlets competing with each other for scraps just encourages this sort of behavior.

Warner has mellowed in general... although he's far from being quiet.
