Nah I am used to seeing people like Manjrekar earn hefty sum for talking nonsense every game.Hopefully when you think of how much they would have paid him, it will make you feel even worse.
I'm not sure about the relevance of Haddin's family situation to this thread. I remember keeping my opinions about him to myself when one of his children was ill last time he toured here, which was silly really, as he wasn't going to be reading this. Ditto the child, I suppose. But he has enough track record to justify everything that's been written here. Off the pitch he may be a decent enough sort, but people who play at his level are going to be judged by how they behave in their chosen role. I doubt that he'd be remotely bothered even if he did read this.Daily reminder that Haddin is a family man and you should watch what you say about a human being.
Poor efforts in this thread, really. Makes you wonder about some posters.
Yet Pietersen gets a pass?I'm not sure about the relevance of Haddin's family situation to this thread.

Did you start watching him quite late in his career? It was only his last two tours to India that he produced any decent output really.There is no one I dislike, but I feared Ponting the most as a fan. There was an imperious vibe to his batting.
Maybe I would have felt the same for Viv Richards if I was watching the game in 70s.
Every Indian who watched the 2003 WC fears Ponting, nothing else matters.Did you start watching him quite late in his career? It was only his last two tours to India that he produced any decent output really.
Not just India vs Australia games but in general I found him fearsome. Steven Smith is a better batsman but I never feared Smith as much as Ponting.Did you start watching him quite late in his career? It was only his last two tours to India that he produced any decent output really.
Srinath bowls an 85 mph yorker in 49th over, nothing wrong with the ball but Ponting sends it to the third tier with a clean hit.Every Indian who watched the 2003 WC fears Ponting, nothing else matters.
Yeah I can understand that. Smith doesn't have the same sort of demeanor about himNot just India vs Australia games but in general I found him fearsome. Steven Smith is a better batsman but I never feared Smith as much as Ponting.
