Sean Bradley Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Nevermind, nothing changes, give him the award or dont, i am sure sachin himself would be going "whatever" over it.
urbestfriend Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 He is just plain jealous :finger: If soli sorbajee and Brian lara can be given this award why not sachin? Honorary member of order of australia is awarded to non-australians who have done exceptionally well in their field, doesn't make any sense from Hyaden. List
ravishingravi Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 It does matter if you are evaluating his consistency on this matter
The Dark Horse Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 In fact Bharat Ratna was given to non-indians IIRC
DomainK Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Hayden is known to give controversial statements to Aussie radio channels. Whether it was calling Bhajji an obnoxious weed or challenging a 19 years old newbie Ishant to the boxing ring, his statements are usually frivolous and not to be taken seriously.
Number Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Hayden is known to give controversial statements to Aussie radio channels. Whether it was calling Bhajji an obnoxious weed or challenging a 19 years old newbie Ishant to the boxing ring' date=' his statements are usually frivolous and not to be taken seriously.[/quote'] Also his 3rd world country remark.
Raghav_12 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Hayden is anyway not known for very thought out comments. He has history of exposing his bitterness towards India and Indians. This is another one in that series.
ganeshran Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 As an Australian citizen, he has the right to comment on who he thinks should be given the award. Unless the rules were bent for Sachin, I dont see any issue here.
Crookbond Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 As an Australian citizen, he has the right to comment on who he thinks should be given the award. Unless the rules were bent for Sachin, I dont see any issue here. THIS. Like I said earlier, he is talking about non-Australians and not Indians in particular.
nikred Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 If the whole argument against Sachin receiving the honour is based on his citizenship, then it shows Hayden's ignorance on the history of that award. If Sachin was the first non-aussie to receive it then I would have supported Hayden's statement.
EnterTheVoid Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Lets see Don Bradman given the Bharat Ratna post humorously first :finger:
Bradman99 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I don't see a problem with Hayden's comments although I disagree with him.
The Outsider Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Lets see Don Bradman given the Bharat Ratna post humorously first :finger: As soon as we are done pissing in some bonfires, so that the situation becomes a post humorous one.
EnterTheVoid Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Missed you too gramps, I was wondering when you would show up
Lord Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Agreed but where were these statements when other non-Australians were given this award? no one asked him:dontknow: either u show me that he supported other non Aussies recieving that award or else u cant bash him
EnterTheVoid Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 In before they start giving every man and his dog an MBE, OBE, Knighthood etc etc
Sidhoni Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 In fact Bharat Ratna was given to non-indians IIRC Yeah/ Nelson Mandela got it IIRC.
saket123 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Hayden is entitled to his opinion and it should be respected. Let their powers to be decide. Until then we really shouldn't care.
Stuge Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Yeah/ Nelson Mandela got it IIRC. Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan was the first one .
