Re: Mohammed Asif pulled up by match referee
Good job ICC. What Asif did was completely classless. I saw it live and I said at that time, this is so terrible. A bowler can celebrate all he wants with his team-mates. He can be an aeroplane (like Actor) or do bhangra. No problem. But when the bowler starts taunting the out going batsman or giving them angry stares, it crosses the line. The batsman is already on his way out; what else do you want now .. a wrestling match?? Ahmaq insaan. Anyway, hopefully he got his lesson. Next time he does that, kick his arse with a ban or something so the message gets across even better.
I am ok when you said that what he did was classless, I don't agree but I am ok since everyone can view it differently.
But how can you praise ICC? ICC have failed to take actions on numerous occasions in the past when more stringent punishments were needed and you know very well why. When a body like ICC exhibits such discrimination and double standards, do you really think they are doing a good job in response to such incidents?
