Typical victim hood playbook, benefit from the system and then use random decisions/policies to play the victim game. Chap suggests he didn’t get captaincy because he comes from Pakistan…
USMAN KHAWAJA ON HIS CAPTAINCY SNUB 🚨🚨 😱😱😱
After Steve Smith and David Warner announced “in tears” to the change room that they were standing down as captain and vice-captain respectively mid-Test, Australian officials hastily appointed Tim Paine to take over as interim skipper for the remainder of the match and the series.
Usman Khawaja says he was “flabbergasted” that Paine, only just back into the team from not even playing for his state, got the nod and not him.
“On the other hand, I’d been a regular player for Australia and a leader with the bat. I’d captained Queensland for a few years, and countless Australia A teams in the last three years,” Khawaja wrote.
“I was a natural selection for interim captain, but was overlooked. I knew why. One reason was that I’d been a main protagonist during those pay disputes with CA and the board – and the board was who appointed the captain. On that basis alone, they probably weren’t going to give it to me.”
However, Khawaja has explosively claimed that he believes the other reason why he was snubbed for Paine was because of his Pakistani background.
“They weren’t ready for a brown Australian cricket captain, even as an interim.
“It’s cool, but at minimum I should have got the vice-captaincy. Instead, they’d given it to Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Marsh. For one of the more mature players, who’d been captaining his own state for a few years, that was a kick in the guts.”
True but a bit rich of Usman Khawaja to have come out now after 8 years and take moral high ground, while he has been part of this all along.
It was always the case. Cricket Australia scapegoated Warner, Smith and Bancroft to shield the rest of the team from scrutiny and protect their bowlers. #UsmanKhawaja
And most likely he is a Mossad plant :-). Also when someone sounds unusually authentic- they are usually not
Seems like a guy close to Israel :-), also when someone sounds too authentic to start with, may be they are someone planted to take control of the narrative
Whatever may be the technicals are - it broke out of a 37 year old top and don’t think you get a bear market merely after 3-4 years of bull market after such a long, painful period. This may be just a temporary blip
Miles ahead of us !!, you express one disagreement publicly - your political career will be decimated for good by the “high command”
One admirable thing about the U.S. political system, problematic as it otherwise is, is that elected politicians from the same party can vociferously disagree with each other.
Heck, they have to contest against each other to be the party nominee in the first place.
That vigorous discussion is hard to find in the Indian political system. Ticket distribution is largely handled from the top which often leads to a dismal toeing of the “party line”.
