ss, u really need to be an Indian who lives in India to understand what it means for normal people here when you kill a living thing. I suppose there is a bit of hypocrisy here in that u probably won't expect Kapil to feel this way if he were to kill a mosquito or an ant (they are living things too), but you hit a stroke and it kills a beautiful bird, most normal human beings will be shaken up by it.silentstriker said:He was shaken up because he killed a pigeon? WTF?
If I saw an opposing batsmen being deeply affected by the death of a pigeon, I'd have enough sledging material to last a lifetime. And I'd make him bat on too. Water?
Oh man, I really hope thats not true, because I hold Kapil Dev as one of my heroes.
u know u don't have to come in and read this if u don't like it so much.dontcloseyoureyes said:Stop fueling this ridiculous thread.
It's not even about being Indian. You'd have to be an heartless idiot not to feel anything after killing a bird like that.honestbharani said:ss, u really need to be an Indian who lives in India to understand what it means for normal people here when you kill a living thing.

And secondly, I have been corrected by my uncle regarding this. Being shaken up wasn't the only reason Kapil asked for some water. According to Indian tradition, you tend to take a shower to cleanse yourself of the sin if you happen to kill a living thing and it seems Kapil wanted to just pour a bottle of water over his head for that too. Anyways, AB was a major jerk that day and I still hate him for it.
And about Ponting, Nnanden, I just used that example to show that he is a tool. But I guess everyone around here knows it anyways. So we will leave it at that.
And the reason I brought it up now is that Harmison has said that it is his one regret from the last Ashes in a recent interview.

Of course, we have to make an exception for SS.

You are a very cruel person. Sorry to say. Always been a fan of you as a poster, always will be, but you are a cruel person when it comes to the life of other living things.silentstriker said:I endorse this comment.

Bleh, I shoot birds/squirrels/deer all the time. I don't see the big deal.adharcric said:It's not even about being Indian. You'd have to be an heartless idiot not to feel anything after killing a bird like that.

Well I do eat Chicken.silentstriker said:You don't eat meat, wear leather/fur?
Well then, how can you call me cruel? Unless you cry before eating every wing.Dravid said:Well I do eat Chicken.
I don't kill them, and I never would.silentstriker said:Well then, how can you call me cruel? Unless you cry before eating every wing.
Yeah, and silentstrikers shot 'em all too.adharcric said:.
On second thoughts, this thread really is ridiculous now. Last I checked there were donkeys, pigeons and cats all over the place.
No, you let others do it, and eat them afterwards. Which makes you just as responsible.Dravid said:I don't kill them, and I never would.
If they remove the cumbersome hunting laws, I sure as hell would. Especially cats, can't stand the little bastards.grecian said:Yeah, and silentstrikers shot 'em all too.
