at the way these beggars speak. First Afridi gets angry at the humiliation (read G_P_L) given to him and his fellow players by IPL. Then he says T20 big bash is tougher than IPL. Then he decides to forgive & forget (knowing that his strong remarks may seal his fate). Then he declares that he is not interested in IPL.
True beggar indeed. Also, B_u_t_t has been consistently begging to IPL, Modi etc. to let the Porkis in.
Good show Modi. Who wants the porkis here. They are all terrorists. We do mix sports and politics only when it involves the porkis.
We don't want porkis here. You all $_w_i_n_e_$ may g_e_t l_o_$_t.
Every one talks of humiliation to Pakistan players in IPL auction; may be true, but to me the very concept of auctioning players is retrograde and humiliating, like say slave trade in the past. If players allow themselves to be treated like a commodity in a market then what is important is commerce and not sentiments. A buyer has every right to chose a commodity and even to make a wrong choice. If a commodity is not bid for whatever reason, the buyer cannot also be questioned, whatever analysts may say - thats the rule of the market. I am writing such comments, which may be insensitive, only to highlight the rot to which cricket has been reduced to in the interest of commerce. And surprisingly, cricketer at the international level who have the financil strenght to resist such process are willingly submitting to it. Admittedly auction is an efficient process for price discovery in the market, but when the subject matter is a set of reputed players, then certainly the process is humiliating irrespective of whether a player is picked up or ignored and the buyer is supreme and no one can question.
What is humiliating is the very process and every payer must resist it. Players can be hired through private negotiations and not public auction. If the players accept themselves as commodities, then clearly there is no room for complaint as long as the process is not rigged. Even in such a situation they cannot complaint of humiliation. Commerce has no place for sentiments.
