Before anything else, the title "*The puppy cuts loose and who are they kidding anyway" ***first struck me as being a bit odd. What do you mean who are they kidding.. theyre here to play like any other nation and theyre trying their best.. why do they have to be kidding someone? Calling someone a puppy seemed a little too harsh.
I then clicked on the title and read the first few lines of the article. This one lined seemed a bit too wierd, especially coming from cricinfo:
Once again, puppy? master? This is how you refer to international cricketers? I thought i would use that feedback button at the bottom of the article and voice my concern in the following manner:
to which i got a reply about a half hour later:
I dont know, maybe its just me, but does anybody else find something offensively wrong here?
Re: Andrew Miller's article on the Bangladesh vs NZ game
^ True. And both actions are actually condemnable.
However I think the article is not that sharp tongued as it seems.
I actaully read it now. Its critical but not that demeaning.

Its just you...I am sorry to inform you.
Tamim Iqbal is an immature 18 years old.If you have seen his batting you would know. There is a school-boy attitude about him. In the Ind-BD match, he got hit on his neck by a short delivery from Zaheer. Next ball - Tamim comes down the track as if to hit Zaheer out of the Solar System to get his revenge (though he only managed to swipe at thin air on that occasion). The commentator also referred to his immaturity at that time.
Andrew Miller is not far out with his analogy. Please do not create an issue where there is none.
