A silly joke from a cricketer

A report in the Times of India leads to the statement supposed to have been made by a prominent Bowler in Asia He is none other than Syed Ajmal of Pakistan.The best joke of 2013 from Syed Ajmal was that veteran Sachin Tendulkar of India had to announce his retiremen from One day cricket because he was dismissed by Ajmal in amatch at a stadium in Bangladesh during the Asia cup held there in the year 2012.As an insult to injury thesremarks he is understood to have been made in an Interview to the leading& famous Wisden India.But at the same time in this match Sachin had made 52 runs from 49 balls when he lost his wicket! Although he might have made this observation as a matter of a joke reserved to himself in his mind,the impact of this in the Mecca of Cricket Bombay is certain to form a big controversy in the coming Days. Syed Ajmal would not have made this remark against an Indian Cricketer had he not forgotten the fate of Pakistanin the Recent Champions Trophy when they had to return empty handed even without a single win in the tournament. Obviously& most strikingly Syed Ajmal was a prominent member in the Pakistan Team. Of course Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar ,who had made every record possible to make him a living Legend of India to make her a proud Nation,was not playing in the Champions Trophy!But where was the self announced talent of the uncrowned king of Spin Ajmalwas hiding during Champions Trophy? One could allow to leave such remarks to be heard with one Ear& passed out through the other.Had such a joke was made by veteran Abdul Khadir,Saqlain Mushtaq or even SahidAfridy one could have relished it to some extent. But such a remark from a cricketer, obviously not matured enough to play Cricket,is something needing to be considered as Silly&ignored as such. Syed Ajmal ,from the point of view of his own bright future,should avoid such jokes in future. Had he been at least a part of the 2011 World Cup of 50 over format,He would not have made such a remark. He should also remember that he belongs to a Team in which Imran khan,Wasim Akram& Waqar Younis were members in the past.Everyone of them maintained high value for the talent of Sachin& loved as such just like a closeColleague. Also good to remember, in the best interest of his own carrier that when syed Ajmal was a kid Sachin had made many Centuries & that Sachin still holds the record for highest number of Runs & Centuries in the Word of Cricket. Cricket is a Glorious Game of Uncertainty. It is not fair trying to slaughter cricket by making this kind of remarks by any cricketer. In fact,Syed Ajmal in his own interest should remember that his remarks amounts to nothing but Unbecoming of a cricketer with Sportsman Spirit. SreedharanMundanat 24th August2013 05-32Hrs(IST)
