Sid Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 "This is an open challenge. Whenever and wherever Hayden wants me to bowl at him, I am ready. Does he have the courage to face me? Because, whenever I have seen him bat against me, he always had a petrified look :hysterical::hysterical:

Does he have the courage to face me? Because, whenever I have seen him bat against me, he always had a petrified look. Just check the record books in case you want to know how many times I have got him out." http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/35968/harbhajan-challenges-haydenDespite HS having the right to be mad at what Hayden opined about him in the aftermath of the Nagpur Test this reaction looks quite silly to me and he comes across as someone that has lost it and let it affect him.
someone Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 HS has fallen into the trap. Instead of giving a solid comment like SG, he went for a total disaster route with his counter. Pity his small mentality.
Andy Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 HS will reply back with Arsenic and win us the World Cup. Hayden have just fired him up. Wait and watch how the tiger performs.
riwi999 Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I don't understand the furore on this subject. Hayden needs to sell his book so he needs to throw in some controversial comments. And what better cricketers to go after than Ganguly and Bhajji? And, just to balance it out, he has nice things to say about SRT, Dravid, Sehwag and Bhajji the bowler. And Dhoni, his CSK captain. I like Ganguly and Bhajji - and even I am not offended by what Hayden has said because I see it as just his opinion and a book-selling ploy. Happens all the time. Whether it was "greentrackitis" or something else, just Hayden's opinion. Just because he says they chickened out, no need to tie ourselves up in knots. pensionplan 1

99.94 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Harbhajan openly challenges hayden "This is an open challenge. Whenever and wherever Hayden wants me to bowl at him, I am ready. Does he have the courage to face me? Because, whenever I have seen him bat against me, he always had a petrified look. Just check the record books in case you want to know how many times I have got him out." Harbhajan said, "I have scored a half century even in Australian soil. May be Hayden has this habit of conveniently forgetting the achievements of Indian cricketers. At the end of the day, he doesn't have the qualification to judge the calibre of Indian cricketers." http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/35968/harbhajan-challenges-hayden What has this got to do with the incident..? Anyway, loving this thread. It's great seeing how some Indians react to news like this :hysterical:
Sachinism Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 :clap: Why not take that attitude when you see other posters posting stuff you don't agree with? Its their opinion, just coz theyl say something, doesn't make it true
hari504504 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Harbhajan :facepalm: , Ganguly needs to teach him CricketPR101 Sounds like a total tool with that 'open challenge'
Raghav_12 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Harbhajan :facepalm: , Ganguly needs to teach him CricketPR101 Sounds like a total tool with that 'open challenge' May be he is trying to match Hayden in stupidity referring to incident where Hayden had called Ishant in boxing ring to settle scores.
Andy Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Why not take that attitude when you see other posters posting stuff you don't agree with? Its their opinion' date=' just coz theyl say something, doesn't make it true[/quote'] What i have done for the first two pages was to justify my statement and show that they were wrong, Then some started trolling, making Facts on the basis of Opinions and Assumptions, so it was obvious for me to state what i feel.
Jersey #10 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Harbhajan Open Challenges Hayden Sourav Ganguly and Harbhajan Singh have rubbished Matthew Hayden’s claim that they had chickened out of 2004 Nagpur Test because of the green wicket, with the off-spinner saying that the former Australian opener wrote controversial things to sell his book. In his autobiography Standing My Ground, Hayden has written that Ganguly’s late withdrawal from the Test was due “greentrackitis, where you develop a severe intolerance to green wickets likely to give plenty of headaches as a batsmanâ€. He has also said that the manner in which Harbhajan developed “food poisoning†on the eve of that Test was surprising. Australia won the Test to ensure their first Test series win in India in nearly 35 years. A livid Harbhajan dubbed Hayden as the “biggest chicken hearted cricketer†while former India captain Ganguly pointed out that he had scored a century on a pacy track in Brisabane and said that the Australian should behave like an international cricketer. “Who is Mathew Hayden to judge Harbhajan Singh. I don’t know what he is smoking these days,†said Harbhajan. “This is an open challenge: Whenever and wherever Hayden wants me to bowl at him, I am ready. Does he have the courage to face me. Because, whenever I have seen him bat against me, he always had a petrified look. “I have scored half century even on Australian soil. May be Hayden has this habit of conviniently forgetting the achievements of Indian cricketers,†he added. Ganguly was more restrained in his response. “I request him to behave like an international player,†Ganguly said. “He remembered Brisbane in Nagpur. Just want to remind him of my hundred in Brisbane in the first Test. Also since 2003, we have beaten them (Australia) everytime in Brisbane. Me and Bhajji have been important part of Indian team on all those wins.†source Apna sher :haha: :finger: Hayden
