sharma Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 during the post match show, harsha asked SMG and moody about their predictions on the ind v pak semifinal when this happened SMG: From what i know, the pakistanis like to visit Mumbai he did not make a prediction, just said that....below the belt or appropriate?
asehgal Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Inappropriate totally. Its not nice to paint an entire country with the same brush. That was SMG's Siddhu moment.
PakSwinger Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 he is trying take pressure off india so they could perform
NareshK Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 When I heard him say that, I was like 'WTF ? Was he really making a reference to 26/11 ?' It was totally out of left field. Or maybe he was talking about Pakistani friends he knows and how much they like Mumbai ?
ganeshran Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I was surprised at the comment too. First I thought he was referring to playing in the final, but he added "more than beating India". me thinks it was a reference to 26/11 too
Sid Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Looks like Sunny always comes out drunk for post match analysis
DomainK Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 May be he was referring to the Shiv Sena threats. I can't recall the exact statement, but I thought he said something in the lines of "Pakistan would like to come to Bombay and that would give the additional inspiration."
sharma Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 i def think it was a reference to 26/11 wont be surprising considering how pro-india he is, cant stand to hear anything against india
The Outsider Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Must have been a sarcastic reference to Shiv Sena. Can't imagine Gavaskar or any other commentator for that matter being that dumb.
cricketlover Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Why is everyone obsessed with Pakistan and Mumbai? Even Pakistanis are sucked into this now and its hard to tell whether they want to win the WC more or conquer Mumbai with Pakistan flag flying high and in process shutting up Shiv Sena and other Indian extremist organizations
Prakat Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I think it was an innocent comment. Pakis like partying in mumbai and like the whole bollywood vibe. It's like a hillbilly in hollywood thing.
Karan114 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I think it was an innocent comment. Pakis like partying in mumbai and like the whole bollywood vibe. It's like a hillbilly in hollywood thing. True, could be that angle too...hopefully it was otherwise a stupid thing to say after a cricket match.
