Afridi rates T20 Big Bash higher than IPL

[Pioneer]

This thread will never get old. Years and years later when Shara Aphred (his Cricket 07 name) will still be crying about this snub and telling stories about "evil India" to his grandsons' date=' we'll see his grandsons coming and arguing about this. But our sons will be quick to bump this thread and show these kids, how lame their dadajaan was :hysterical:[/quote'] Would you mind showing me the part where he rated the Big Bash higher than the IPL, please? I couldn't find it

Read page 1 and 2 and try to read between the lines

I'm talking about the article. care to quote that part?

[achilles]

“Compared to IPL and all the other Twenty20 tournaments I think this [big Bash] tournament is very tough' date=” Afridi said.

Do you think that unlike some Pakistani fans, he gave everyone in India and most importantly, the franchises, an orgasm by saying this?

[Pioneer]

Personally, I feel he might have been talking about the cricketing aspect, don't know if he meant Big Bash > IPL. Anyways different views.

Personally' date=' I feel he might have been talking about the cricketing aspect, don't know if he meant Big Bash > IPL. Anyways different views.[/quote'] Which was quite unnecessary and inappropriate. Why would he compare two different employers? How would PCB and Pakistani cricket fans react if Afridi said Big Bash is better than PCB?

[Pioneer]

He was just giving his views on the Big Bash whilst playing, talking about the level of cricket and so on. PCB and Big Bash are two completely different things man, IPL and Big Bash are on the same page in format, etc...

Bhaijaan, he was calling for trouble by making statements like these. If someone advertedly/inadvertedly badmouth an organization he wants to work in by praising their rivals, do you think they will hire him? Yet, IPL put his name on the auction list. And look at the nerve of the guy to ridicule us for not getting picked !

IPL isn't some little kid who wont give you chocolate if you make fun of him. It's an organization that shoulnd't worry about "badmouthing" as it shows how petty and irresponsible they are.

[achilles]

Petty and irresponsible? Then what are the players who've been whining and the politicians from across the border? Mother Teresa? :saint:

[achilles]

No response? I think that really sums it up :two_thumbs_up:

[Pioneer]

Yeah people have been making too much of a fuss in Pakistan for sure, I agree. What I'm trying to say is that comments shouldn't affect something as big as the IPL. Or should it, if yes then I'm wrong.

[Pioneer]

No response? I think that really sums it up :two_thumbs_up:

Dude take it easy, just because I don't respond in 5.5 seconds doesn't mean your the "winner"

[achilles]

Dude take it easy' date=' just because I don't respond in 5.5 seconds doesn't mean your the "winner"[/quote'] My bad, grandpa :((. But don't you think Afridi, the PCB and the polticians have pwn'd themselves here :giggle:

[Pioneer]

Elaborate on the self-pwning please?

[Zero_Unit]
