Afridi takes a big bite of the cherry
Afridi skips breakfast and decides the ball looks mighty tasty.
When the chips are down, often sportsmen do stupid things. Shahid Afridi wanted to win the 5th ODI against Australia badly, so badly that he figured he’d take a big bite out of the ball to help his bowlers. Or was he really hungry? Afridi has been banned for 2 T20 matches, a very soft penalty for a pretty serious crime. I think they went soft on him because he so honestly admitted it in and they probably felt a wee bit sorry for him for being such a silly fool. He was hardly subtle, he did this while walking with the bowler to his run up while the cameras were clearly on him!!

He looked like a walrus whilst doing it too!
Yeah, I was watching this live at the time – damn near 1am. It was bloody unbelievable.
He claims he was “smelling it”. SUUUUURE. That jpg doesn’t do the sheer dodgyness justice. Try this:

He’s Pakistani, it’s not his fault, they were trained to do this sort of thing in their cricket academies, it’s the win at all costs approach
From what he’s said publicly it almost sounds like he was barely aware of what he was doing, it was just the natural thing to do haha.
