http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 says Indians not as large hearted as Pakistanis – Cricket Update
After winning the hearts of many cricket fans from across the World with his remarkable bowling and captaincy during the ICC World Cup 2011, Shahid Afridi has said that Indians are not as large hearted as the Pakistanis.
"In my opinion, if I have to tell the truth, Indians will never have hearts like Pakistanis. I don’t think they have the large and clean hearts that Allah has given us," Afridi said.
India hurled the Men in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/March-c74391 and eventually won the coveted World Cup trophy.
Afridi criticised the Indian media for its negative reporting and propaganda, during http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 to play crucial semi-final against arch-rival. The skipper further admired the role of his own media and regarded Pakistan's media 100 times
better than its Indian counterpart.
"The Indian media has a very negative approach and very negative thoughts. The people may not be like that but I think the media had a very dirty role in spoiling relations between us and India,” the flamboyant all-rounder added.
Afridi further slammed the unnecessary statement given by Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik regarding match-fixing warning at a very critical time in the mega event. He also criticised Indian top-order batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gautam-Gambhir-c58623’s announcement of dedicating
India’s World Cup victory to the victims of the 2008 http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 terrorist attacks.
"I think they were both very stupid comments by Rehman Malik and Gautam Gambhir. I was not expecting this from Gautam. This is all politics, what do you know about who carried out the Bombay attacks?" the captain stated.
When asked about Pakistan-India relations, Afridi explained that it is really hard to maintain good relations between two countries, as the people from both sides of the border, consider each other as the enemy. The 31-year-old all-rounder also showed his
concern over constant fruitless dialogues between the neighbours and stressed on productive talks between the two atomic powers.
Talking about the future of Pakistan cricket, Afridi emphasised on the need of a result-oriented tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, starting later this month. He also suggested that the selectors give a chance to new comers to prove their talent.
