Pakistan's winning celebration upsets English Team's Captain Cook

[Kambojaric]

The celebration had nothing to do with England . In fact even the English crowd enjoyed it a lot. Get over it Cook, it was a thanks to the army fitness trainers as can be seen from the salutes.

Lolz,
Englishmen and there mind games!!!
CUTE!

Now expect allegations of different kinds from UK like ball tempering, fixing or may be wrong bowling action. Few cricketing nations do all this to attack opponent.

They are jealous people and do all kinds of unethical things if they can't beat you in the ground, their press will indulge in slandering that's how the douche bags of England and Australia behave. They framed our players and destroyed their careers but still they got outclassed in their home ground and that's unbearable for them as they lack sports man spirit.

Its not about being jealous only. IN fact, it is not about that at all. Both Australia and England traditionally get themselves involved in mind games, building pressure and effecting thought process of the opposition by such remarks and statements, there media being the spearhead! With the commercialization in the international game, this habit and trend have reached non Aus-Eng games as well but you will see that it is these two teams still who are most involved in such trolling. Aussies did it with Indians, we faced this in the past as well, Ashes are always full of such incidents.

Personally, i think it is ok since such things keep the interest in test cricket alive. The team WONT read too much into this and Cook better worry about what he will be serving us in Old Trafford rather than our celebrations!! Not those fish n Chips again

 

[Devil Soul]

Well done boy, in next test , plz double the push-ups....

 

[graphican]

This act of push-ups is not targeted towards England and English players shouldn't try to turn it towards them. It is mainly a tribute to their military trainer and then to the proud army back home who is cleaning country of terrorism.

Mr. Cook needs to understand the situation a bit more.

No doubt, the media, the teams and the fans like to spice things up. More controversy means more interest in these series. More controversy means more viewership etc. Cook is making a mountain out of a molehill though. England have a special hurt when losing to Pakistan. There is a history of this hurt and it goes back to 1992. Politicians, media, former players. Everyone likes to eagerly share their opinions.

Well Done Pakistani team.. Brits need a sleep in their face once in a while like this.. I don't know when will they get over their superiority complex and start acting like a normal country.. Did any of you ever noticed the way Nasser Hussain commenting about English team and the rest of the world..???

 

[Scharfschütze]

Someone show him Nasser Hussain's celebrations in Karachi...
Koi baat nahe beta haarne k bad aisa hi hota hai, Atleast better than Indians...

I think India and Pakistan are on the same side when it comes to visiting England and Australia.
But I hope this Pak team is well equipped to thwart the pressure both on-field and off-fields and keep pleasing us.

 

[JanjaWeed]

Typical cry babies. Glad that England was brought down to earth!

Coming back to the match.. Pak once again proved that it's the bowlers who win matches.. not batsmen so much. Despite having world class batting line up, India had dismal couple of visits to Eng in the recent past!

PCB from the last one year, has developed a habit of putting ban on the social media usage during the time of tour or when a series is being played.Similarly, there are some restrictions on exposure to the press or electronic media except that post match/day press conference or performance analysis.Reasons are to avoid any distractions or controversies.

So, on a tour during the off days, fitness exercise sessions are one of the few sources of entertainment for the team.People following some type of fitness regime will understand what i'm trying to mention here.The Pakistani team seems like is enjoying the stuff and they were expressing it to pay their respect.It's not bringing any harm to them and is not against the rules of the game.

Crook or any other English player getting disturbed by it is understandable.It seems like his tweets will go unnoticed, as far the Pakistani team is concerned.

The Pakistani cricket fans should take this lightly.
To checkmate this behavior from the rival English side the cricket lovers in this part of the world can make this healthy activity a phenomenon or a trend , when the tour is still on.
A fifty , or a 100 runs, who cares, let's do our push ups and salute flag. The batting side needs our support.

People do things for the ALS (The ice bucket challenge).
Remember the Chinese doing it when they had successfully conducted flight tests from their aircraft carrier.So, why not the 10 push ups?

@WAJsal

Man, have you done your push ups?

 

[Super Falcon]

Cook is out of his mind after his debacle loss

 

[Stephen Cohen]

Pakistan played VERY WELL

Let the English men cry

Doing push ups is fine ; what is wrong with it

The push ups were tribute to army trainers who prepared team physically and mentally in military academy for this tour, fitness was much better due to that training and team appreciated that
