Hayden calls India a third world country

[Awesome]

It is the context in which he said it. He is bitter and trying to vent off frustration. This same Hayden didn't have a problem coming and playing in 'third world' country for IPL, representing a 'third world' city.

Same word can have different implications when used in different situations. If you tell your best friend, " I got laid by the hot head cheerleader", he may pat you on the shoulder and say, "You b@st@rd!"in a very jovial and encouraging manner.

At the same time, if you bang your best friend's girlfriend , he may still say, "you b@st@rd!", but the tone and meaning will be totally different from the previous one.

Aussies are sore losers.

They are the biggest whiners in the cricketing world. Good cricketers, but whiners.

 

[Vinod2070]

They are the biggest whiners in the cricketing world.

I disagree.

The biggest whiners are visiting India now.

 

[su-47]

I disagree.

The biggest whiners are visiting India now.

No. I honestly think the Aussies are bigger whiners, especially when they lose. They whine about it even when they lose in Australia!

 

[Vinod2070]

No. I honestly think the Aussies are bigger whiners, especially when they lose. They whine about it even when they lose in Australia!

Australians whine if they lose, England comes ready with their whines.

The stories of the Delhi belly are pre-written, the whines are ready and perfected, they are the masters of whining.

But no doubt, Australians are sore losers and second best whiners.

Well a close second I guess.

The whiners got whacked by Yuvraj today. Let's see how much more they can whine.

Yuvraj ton helps India to record total

November 14, 2008 | 13:41 IST

Scorecard
Undeterred by a troublesome back, Yuvraj Singh roared back to form with a whirlwind unbeaten 138 as India amassed a record 387 for 5 in the first One-Day International against England in Rajkot on Thursday.

The left-handed batsman, batting with a girdle around his waist and Gautam Gambhir his runner for a major part of his dazzling knock, hammered the visiting team's bowlers all around the park to notch his ninth one-day hundred.

The Punjab batsman got his hundred off just 64 balls, inclusive of 11 fours and four sixes, narrowly missing out on overhauling Mohammad Azharuddin's 62-ball century record.

The 26-year-old batsman, who was struggling in the Ranji Trophy after a poor run in the Challenger Series prior to this match, got to his second fifty off only 22 balls, with the help of six fours and two sixes.

His final tally of 138 not out, coming off 75 balls, was studded with six sixes and 16 boundaries. It powered India to a best-ever total at the ground, surpassing New Zealand's 349 for 9, the hosts in November 1999.

The total was also the best ever by India against England, overhauling the 329 for 7, put up in August 2007 at Bristol.

Yuvraj's power-hitting show set the visitors a stiff asking rate of 7.7 to win the match.

Asked to take first strike by visiting team captain, Kevin Pietersen, the hosts rocketed off to a great start as Virender Sehwag and Gambhir stitched together a partnership of 127 in less than 20 overs.

After their departure, Suresh Raina (43) and Yuvraj added 89 runs in only 12.5 overs.

Later Yuvraj and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (39) made mincemeat of the visiting team's largely one-dimensional attack to rattle up a stand of 105 runs in only 58 balls for the fifth wicket.

The lone batsman to fail was Yousuf Pathan (0), who lasted only two balls.

Thirteen sixes were clobbered off the England bowlers which left the visitors shell-shocked and helped India to its highest-ever ODI total against a Test team.

Left-handed Gambhir attacked the England bowlers with gusto, stepping out with impunity and carting the ball around.

A lofted on-drive off Anderson for four and a step-out shot against Broad were followed by an edged four to help the 27-year-old batsman complete 2000 runs in his 61st ODI.

Pietersen rung in quick changes and called on experienced duo of Andrew Flintoff and Steve armison to stem the flow of runs. But they also failed to apply the brakes. Pietersen then turned to left arm spinner Samit Patel, who also could not make any impact.

Paul Collingwood was brought on and Sehwag greeted the medium pacer by smacking him over long off and then hoisting the bowler from wide of the off stump over the mid-wicket fence for two sixes off successive balls.

Gambhir completed his 12th fifty by off-gliding Flintoff, in the latter's tight second spell, for a single but fell to Patel while trying to hit the diminutive left arm bowler over the straight field.

The dismissal of Sehwag after India crossed 150 in the 24th over brought together the left-handed pair of Raina and Yuvraj.

Raina struck Broad for a six over wide long on to help India reach 200 in the 32nd over and then clubbed Pietersen over mid-wicket for another six in the next over to keep the run-rate at over six.

Yuvraj then hammered Flintoff straight for his first six after the mandatory ball change at the end of the 34th over. He then square cut Harmison for a four and then struck him for a mighty six over long-on in successive balls before Raina sliced Flintoff to backward point for Paul Collingwood to pull off a fine catch.

Yousuf Pathan got promoted but lasted just two balls, which brought skipper Dhoni in.

Yuvraj, famous for hitting Broad for six sixes in an over in the World T20 Championship in 2007, carted Patel for a huge six over mid-wicket, his fourth of the innings, to pilot India past the 300 mark.

Dhoni fell at 352 but Yuvraj went into overdrive and clouted Flintoff for two sixes in the 46th over before remaining unbeaten after putting on 35 runs with Rohit Sharma (11 not out).�

you're right. Must be a reason they are known as whinging poms by other english speakers.

with the Delhi belly, add the "lack of quality hotels" and dusty road trips to remote towns (which are usually cities of several million people.

they have their excuses for losing, ready even before the first ball is bowled.

 

[TOPGUN]

Hahahaha lol !!!!

 

[RescueRanger]

I hate people like this, so its a bit dusty and the food might not aggree with you, but mabye its also got somthing to do with the fact that they gave you a right royal thrashing! And i thought our team was bad when they made bahaney's"...

 

[DarkStar]

Wasim akram slams hayden


Former Pakistan captain Wasin Akram has taken strong objection to Australian opener Matthew Hayden criticising India as a “third-world country”.

Akram felt that Hayden’s comments were a result of Aussies’ old habit of bad-mouthing their opponents whenever they lose.

“The thing about the Aussies is that they are sore losers. They get personal when they get beaten. It is all a matter of sour grapes and after going home, they’ve started calling India a third-world country,” Akram said.

Hayden complained it was the host batsmen’s reluctance to face problems with people around the sight screen that led to the Aussies falling behind the over rate.

The comments came at a time when several top Australian cricketers, including Hayden, turned to India to make a quick buck from the cash-rich Indian Premier league (IPL).

“India is a superpower now; it is a hundred years ahead of Australia, which is no more than a village, as compared to India. You don’t blame sight screens for poor over rates. Even Allan Border was critical of Australian tactics on the pitch,” Akram said.

 

[su-47]

It was very gracious of Akram to stand up for india, but this part is wrong.

“India is a superpower now; it is a hundred years ahead of Australia, which is no more than a village, as compared to India.

Australia is a first world country and we are WAAAAY behind them in terms of wealth.

But he was bang on with the rest of the comments.

I have to disagree, Australia is not a first world country. All it does is sell commodities based on its vast natural resources. It has nothing to offer to the world apart from these commodities. If you take away this, Australia is good for nothing. If they go 3-4 generations back, all of them were criminals from Britain. In fact, the great great grandmother of present prime minister Kevin Rudd, was a petty thief, who stole dress and petticoat from a small kid and hence was sent to Australia as punishment.
