Harbhajan Singh robbed

[Furball]

i feel there's a "they stole his ability to spin the ball" joke here for the taking but i just can't phrase it in the right way

You can't steal something that doesn't exist.

If you think about it, the passport being stolen isn't that big a deal at the moment. Not like he's going to be touring anywhere anytime soon.

And certainly not to New Zealand.

scared this will be seen as racist

HARBY IS A SAINT

The only nick I'll hear Harby tempted out all summer.

 

[sledger]

I want to hear Sir Prekaranasheran's thought on this matter tbh.

 

[honestbharani]

Extraordinary over reaction. If he'd been hurt or worse I could understand.

Heaven help us if there's a faint nick not given this summer. Ridiculous on your part.

Doesn't matter. My point is had this been any other player, they would have been in with a warning instead of participating in it.

 

[honestbharani]

Quite agree. Lift your game you lot.

Ok Mr. Pot.

 

[honestbharani]

Hb chill out. I understand that the Indian trolling can be annoying (and let's not pretend that long stabding members don't partake in this trolling, as opposed to multis or new members who seem to irritate aforementioned longstanding members) but reacting in such a way is the wrong way to go about this mate.

Apparently, reacting in any way against such trolls is wrong.. FFS, we have a mod partaking in this.

 

[honestbharani]

What rules were broken? If people want to have a laugh at Harbhajan, then they can.

Trolling or baiting.. Or is it only when it happens to players you like?

This is strange, honestbharani. Have you not seen all the threads poking fun at Ponting, Johnson, Siddle etc?

 

[honestbharani]

And certainly not to New Zealand.

Yeah, at least he does his job sometimes.

In other news, Praveen Kumar's gun was stolen from his home yesterday.

A day after off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was robbed off his valuables, police in Meerut on Tuesday revealed that a revolver was stolen from the house of another cricketer, Praveen Kumar.

"We received a complaint from cricketer Praveen Kumar on December 9 alleging that his revolver has been

stolen from his Multan Nagar residence," revealed the TP Nagar police station incharge.

He informed that an investigation into the matter has been initiated but added that it seems the cricketer might have misplaced the weapon somewhere in his home.
However, family members of Praveen believe that the revolver went missing from the home after the cricketer had an interaction with his fans.

"On the morning of December 9, Praveen was interacting with his fans in the courtyard and in the evening we found that the revolver was missing from the home. We searched our house for two days but could not locate the weapon, after that we informed the police," said a family member of the cricketer.

The missing revolver was bought by Praveen after his inclusion into the national side, elder brother of the cricketer, Vinay Kumar, said.

Interestingly, Harbhajan lost his passport, credit cards and driving license to a group of thieves, who vandalised his car, at a place near Karnal yesterday.

Praveen is currently nursing a rib injury which led to Karnataka seamer Abhimanyu Mithun replacing him in the Indian team for the upcoming tour of Australia.

Dude, this has happened in multiple threads. Did you see me reacting this way in those? I think the guy is a moron at times too, but to have a whole thread to troll/bait/poke fun at him is just strange. I just don't see it being left open without at least a warning had it been any other player. Simple as.

Given that we have a thread dedicated to poking fun at Ponting currently active and had like three poking fun at Johnson in the recent past, and given the threads made about Broad post the Eng-SL series... I'd say you need to look harder.

That's not to say that there hasn't been some below-par posting going on in this thread, hence the previous warning, but to complain about a thread poking fun at Harbhajan being allowed because it's Harbhajan is a little odd.

Really? Tbh it strikes me that there is only one other player about which such a thread could be made and this sort of action would have been taken.

Well, if that is what is happening, then I would say that is wrong too, esp. if the people poking fun are obvious anti-certain country posters who are just baiting and trolling that nation's supporters on this forum.


But let me just check them out though... It would be good to see where exactly they were accused of having said racist stuff with zero evidence.

Oh dear, his last ditch attempts to instill fear into opposition batsmen appears to have been foiled.

Nah, if the thread was about that player, the number of people arguing about the trolling/baiting and responding to said trolls would just be like 20X more.. And would force the mods to take action with the trolling from either side.

Again, I'm not saying the posting in this thread has been flash, but there's no rule that says you can't poke fun at players.

There is a rule that says you can't poke fun at other players as a proxy for having a dig at other posters, ofc, because that's trolling, and of course everyone should be aware of the difference.
