What would have happened if it was a punch and not a slap?

Question

Slap produced weeping

So, a punch?

Answer 1

Who really cares?...Yeah sree had a sook, ever stopped to think the slap did'nt hurt too much,he was crying because Bharji is a Bully and it shocked the c**p out of him..

The only thing that would have happened is Bharji would have been in a h**l of a lot more trouble than he is in now...

Maybe he should have punched him one,then a lot of people would'nt have to see the "Hero' Bharji on the field for quite some time...

Answer 2

From what I heard about the incident over the radio on Brendan Telfer's show on Wednesday morning, it was actually a closed-fisted punch not a slap anyway.

Answer 3

No difference between a slap or punch. They are the same

physical activity - harming the opponent or official. Same affect

and same punishment......

There is no point of talking about it - unless officials ban him for

long and so players learn where the line is.....this is part of the

non-sledgers trying to use sledging as legal and leading to the

slap or punch. There is a fine line between aggression and

sledging and when one crosses it you find that person in trouble.

Answer 4

Bhajji would have been punched a 10 match ban and not been slapped one.That is the only difference.

Answer 5

Its all a publicity stunt, desperation.

Hardly anyone is in the stadiums and i belive ICL are realising this is not making a big impact as expected & generating enough money or infact not even brake even.

The incident i belive was truly engineered, to give the game more coverage and a repuation, Singh knew his team weren't gonna go far so didnt bother him about not playing, the money Singh gets is enough anyway so losing his fee is not all that big loss for him.

The manager was also fined so that proves my suspicions that people upstairs are engineering this, i know it might seem a long shot but i wouldn't put it past for it to be a publicity stunt.

If they can get world major players to play in their league in a space of months then fixing like this is not impossible, you be amazed what people or organistations will do to keep the repuation, to show off, to make money, etc.

Answer 6

he would have cried even louder

Answer 7

Sreesanth said it was like a WWF punch

So, it was already a punch.

I think slap and punch will have the same effect,bcoz

Sreesanth  cried  bcoz he was hurt by Harbhajan's behavior and not bcoz he got hurt physically by the slap/punch.

Answer 8

same thing would happen

Answer 9

I see what you mean. If he broke out weeping at a mere slap, what would he have done had Harbhajan punched him? Probably fainted! Or maybe screamed like a girl? Either way, they are both a pair of idiots!
