the surgeon and the blacksmith

After the IPL our very occasional deep throat, the omitted, talked about how the Pakistani’s weren’t the best team players during the IPL.

Well VVS certainly agrees with the omitted.

"Afridi has no team ethics. Speaking negatively about the team in public, let alone the captain, is just not on,"
VVS was talking about Afridi bagging him after the whole Deccan Chargers debacle.

It’s a weird one, because Afridi does have a point.

VVS did look like a crap captain, where as Gilly, Afridi’s choice, looked much more like a captain.

But on the other hand, knowing the VVS is going to be the captain, should you come out in the media and bag him?

The bigger issue here may be that the IPL players still don’t really feel like they are playing on a team.

Or.

The opposite is true, that Afridi doesn’t like to lose, and he wishes he had the best captain available.

Although if that was true, wouldn’t he speak out about Pakistan’s captain more often.

I do like a good public stoush though.
