'Dont have to prove anything to anyone ' Syndrome

[jf1gp_1]

First word uttered by any Indian player (facing heat) when comes out and score a few runs or takes wickets . 

 

Jaddu is the latest one to us it. The only thing i want to tell him is buddy give 70+ runs in your quota of 10 overs and score less than 5 for next 3 games and then we will see who needs to prove what to whom. 

 

I understand some of our cocky ones using it but now have heard the likes of Rahane and Pujara use it. Someone really needs to fix this.

Kind of an overused cliche. Don't think they even mean it when they say it.

Must be an addition to the ' process'.

'Dont have to prove anything to anyone ' 

Then stop playing for India. Everyone already knows how good you are then just play T20 leagues around the world and earn your damn money. Because money is what you are playing for since you feel no need to prove anything to anyone.

Nah- Fans actually like silent, non Bollywood players like Rohit Sharma and Rahane.

Yeah - sometimes Hardik Pandya can be entertaining , but people mostly prefer those players who are more renowned for their humblenes

Half these guys don't get 3 matches in a row there days  (  wrong approach btw ) ...  and utter these words mechanically.

 

Do they realize what they are saying  ?

Sabki angrezi tang hai...

It is a case of ' same to same like him only'

Yes, i realize that they are on weeds since the day bevda has started his supply of peculiar kind

You must be living under rock, if you think you have nothing to prove to anything. You were carrying drinks for more than a year now.

May be it's one way of relaxing... sports person s are under enormous pressure

[prasen82]

I think they mean... I am not here to say I am the best or to show that I can play for India .

 

Let's cut them some slack. Half these folks have come in from smaller towns with limited public speaking skills.

 

And this might be the most non controversial statement that they can make. Somebody must have told them. Similar to 'it depends ' in business parlance when you don't have answer to a question.

wtf do you want players to say and do?  Stop believing in themselves? Self-flagellate themselves in press conferences?  

[Cricketics]

We are being too harsh on all the players now I feel. There is a line between not wanting a player in the team and then bashing or criticizing them left and right for little things they say in the media when asked or thrown random questions.

 

You don’t want them to say instead “I want to prove everyone wrong” right?  That would look too cocky. Instead “I don’t have anything to prove.” actually should be recepted as someone who just wants to perform for India and not concentrate on anything else.

'I don't have anything to prove to anyone' is as cocky as 'I want to prove everyone wrong'.

 

PS: Not talking specifically about Jaddu. He doesn't seem to be cocky in general. But there seems to be lack of objectivity and understanding among players about their own performances.

Some players could be cocky when they say it, but then some aren’t and as a guy explained above, a lot of them know how to put the words in English but still aren’t the best at using the English language as they come from background where English wasn’t really used much and hence we shouldn’t judge them.

 

Anyways, to each their own.

They can easily say they are working on their game and trying to improve as much as they can rather than saying " I don't need to prove anything to anyone"

Nit.  Picky.

Jaddu had nothing to prove to anyone so bowled crap today. Next match also he may bowl well or crap, that's his wish
