Asif called Watson 'bloody white'

[satyam1729]

in Australia Pakistani pacer Mohammad Asif called Australian all-rounder Shane Watson a "bloody white" during the team's tour Down Under and got away with it, according to the then team manager Abdul Raquib. Raquib told a inquiry panel probing the disastrous tour that Asif narrowly escaped getting into another controversy after he directed racist remarks against Watson during a Test match. "On the second day of the Test, Asif called Watson a 'bloody white'," Raquib is heard saying in a leaked video recording of the inquiry committee proceedings. "In the evening Australian manager Steve Bernard contacted me and informed me that captain Ricky Pointing planned to hold a press conference. I reminded him that under ICC code of conduct such matters could not be discussed in public," Raquib told the committee members. He said he kept the whole incident confidential as it would have created more problems for Pakistan cricket and Asif as the Australians could have gone after the player for making what they felt was a racist remark. :haha::hysterical: "You tell me what sort of comment is this. Thankfully Steve (Bernard) was cooperative after I reminded him that the series was being played in good spirit and sledging did take place on both sides," Raquib said. The Pakistan manager narrated how the matter was closed when Asif agreed to go and shake hands with Watson after he had discussed the whole issue with Bernard outside the team hotel. Raquib is heard lamenting the lack of education and common sense among Pakistani senior and junior cricketers narrating experiences of his stint as manager of the Pakistan under-19 team. :giggle::haha: "They were members of the under-19 team who were asking for whisky on the flight," Raquib said. He is also heard advising the inquiry committee members to have a system where players are penalised for poor performances. "If Mohammad Aamir can get a lakh rupees for taking wickets why should he not be penalised for dropping a catch?" Raquib said. He also thanked ICC Match Referee Ranjan Madugalle for his handling of the controversy stemming from Shahid Afridi's crazy ball-biting during a one day match in Australia. "There could have been greater penalties for Afridi but Madugalle had advised me to tell Afridi to accept that he had made a mistake," Raquib said http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/26522/Asif-called-Watson-bloody-white-in-Australia

He said he kept the whole incident confidential as it would have created more problems for Pakistan cricket and Asif as the Australians could have gone after the player for making what they felt was a racist remark. And now he is telling the same secret to everyone. "Do you know i kept one secret and here it is ..... " :hehe:

Whats wrong with u these days :hysterical::hysterical:

[Zap_Brannigan]

Why was he spared? ICC is biased. This is a conspiracy.

[Fair Game]

See that's the thing for some reason aussies don't find stuff like that offensive but other countries do. The ICC should just make an iron clad rule and stick to it. Can you imagine the aussie players shouting out black chucker every time the cheat murali bowls.

[Temujin Khaghan]

if u start imposing penalties on players who drop catches, then that would be the only thing on their mind every time they see a skier. pakistan cricket board is filled with morons.

[moumotta]

Bloody white, is that kind of reddish pink

[achilles]

:punter: Baby. What a winger! :hehe: Instead of "bloody white", bloody c&t would've been more like. Wonder how Watson would've reacted :hmmm: Maybe like this-

^ If Ponting had called an Indian player a 'bloody black' and the Indian captain complained about it would you call him a whinger ? However, I see the point.. I don't really see how he could find that very insuliting.. It's not like whites were discriminated against back in the day, the way blacks were.. Besides, Watson I reckon is a good bloke, sometimes he just lets his love for the country and the game take over his emotions a little bit.. Most of the time he holds himself in a good manner and for me he represents everything you want in Australian cricketer.

[achilles]

^ No. I wouldn't call the Indian skip a winger coz he wouldn't be acting like one. And history reckons that Punter has overdone stuff, being the Christ he thinks he is and often brushed under the carpet the crap he and his boys dish out. Thats hypocrisy. And yes, I agree with you. Kinda stupid to feel insulted on being called a "bloody white" when Watson himself swears away to glory everytime he comes onto bowl or bat or even field. Watson used to be a good bloke. Still remember him crying after RR won the 1st IPL. Its been a fall from grace for him since, on the "respect" front. Its a surprise he's hardly been fined for his nonsense when Sreesanth, his Indian brother used to visit the Match referee every 3rd match.

[Bradman99]

^ We all know Ponting doesn't have the perfect record, but sometimes you gotta judge each situation on its merit. If he were to bring this up to the media, why would that be whinging ? He still is a good bloke I reckon, everytime I see him interviewed he's always reasonably modest and gives the opposition credit.

first we need to know if Asif has the word bloody in his vocabulary:winky:

That is an understatement by you Brady. Ponting is a moron of the highest order! And please let us not change that. You judge a cricketer by how many Wrongs he does. Being Modest and Giving Opposition Credit is a part and parcel of every player and captain. He could have been modest -- 100 times -- but you should also consider-- how he behaved and led his team in Sydney. How he lied through the skin of his teeth and abused his position as a captain --to get Harby thrown out.

Asif stated the fact. he is bloody good player and he is white so it is appropriate to call him "bloddy white" Had he called him whity or something like that then it is crossing the lines.:haha:
