How disgusting and hate-filled is Holding?

[goose]

Indian supporters have a very poor reputation abroad as being very thin-skinned and easy to rile. 

[kira]

Never liked this guy, especially after he cried for that phateechar amir

[Shunya]

IPL, bucknor and all have filled his heart with lot of hate.

[Malcolm Merlyn]

Holding despises IPL and Bcci. He is also a thorough ECB man. He hates the fact that WI players are now mercenaries with little pride and blames ipl for it.

He is also pissed at County cricket being reduced to just another FC league as most top players do not play it like they did in Holdings time.

Holding was also on the losing side in the series vs India in 1971-72. in WI. Remember he sent 6 indians to the hospital.He is still living in that era.

In his time Pakistan were the better team and he gets along very well with them. Once he said that Miandad was the player he would choose to play for his life and went on to praise him to no lengths.Only to be pointed out that Holding never bowled to Miandad in tests.

really, you have a great test match going on and you have this thread at the top of the forum. embarrassing guys

[AmreekanDesi]

He is an Uncle Tom if there ever was

 

he is plain and simple, jealous of us. Holding is jealous of India, of the IPL and of BCCI. He cannot handle that our league has shown his islanders for the merceneraries they are and for all intents and purposes destroyed the concept of a West Indies.

 

west indies staying relevant is crucial to his own relevance and every year he sees West Indies falling apart and Carribean nations vouching for their own individuality. He cannot bear to see this

So what has he done?

Practically everything here is more hate filled than anything he has said. 

 

Do we honestly expect every commentator to praise India like in home matches. C'mon guys this is ridiculous.

 

If you don't agree with him, then don't agree with him but calling him disgusting, hate filled and worse words is way out of order.   

It's not about praising. Even Indian commentators don't praise India. Most of them pretend to be neutral.

His comments have been very condescending towards Indian bowlers. He put everything down to the pitch when India were bowling today.

So win games and shut him up.... or just put up with him.

 

We have been winning games at home that hypes up our ranking..

its true..

Stop overreacting guys. Nothing wrong in what he said.

I understand that Ind are receiving a phainty & all that...but to diss Holding for his views is ridiculous.

Yeh well, he could be right?

It was not about win or loss or even about performance. It's about his superiority complex.
