Re: Shahid Afridi in Houston For A Auction
yaar nikame … you have actually hit the nail on head and solved so many mysteries…those un-explainable statements of him about indians “with small hearts” now make sense in view of his political ambitions … and yes gambhir plays with 200% intensity which I cannot say this for lala..he always has some agenda…and that itself is a big curse for lala…that his countrymen dont trust him 100%
but my comments were purely from stardom standpoint…gambhir cannot pull the crowd for 1000 year the same way lala can…let me put this way..if both lala and gambhir walk into a Bollywood party, you can imagine who will be pulling all the stars…that is all I was saying!!! and for that matter, dravid, tendulkar, kumble, veru, laxman … all of them were boring and dull when compared to wasim akram, imran khan, shoaib akhtar, afridi etc…there is a difference between a “great player on the filed” and “stardom”…indian players have never produced stardom-laden stars..even kapil dev was very dull…forget gavaskar, shastri, vengsarkar… all of them were completely “boring”…situation stated to change after ganguly took over…yuraj is definitely a star…kohli may become one because he has potential…
