Best excuse ever - Afridi ball tampering
 

I don’t know if this was covered by the british media, but during the 5th one dayer between Aus and Pak Afridi started ball tampering, God knows how he thought he’d get away with it.

Post match interview on the radio gave us this priceless excuse - Classic !!


Afridi told Grandstand's Peter Walsh he did not put the ball in his mouth.

"No, I was trying to smell it and see how it was feeling," he said.

When Walsh suggested teeth are not used for smelling, Afridi responded: "Sometimes you can do".

He then asked Walsh to stop asking negative questions.

When asked why Afridi may have bit into the ball, Intikhab (PAK Coach) replied: "It just happened, probably was eating apple you know".

"I have no idea."


:lol1:

Not the first time they have done similar, and until we throw them out of a series, it won't be the last.

They bring the good name of cricket into disrepute.

Wasn't aware of this. What a plonker.

:lol1: the Pakistanis will never play a straight game of cricket in their lives. The more they get beaten the more they try and cheat their way out. Perhaps he was using the seam as a tooth pick.
