स्लेजिंग पर बोले हैडिन, ‘कीवी इसी लायक हैं’

-


2015 क्रिकेट वर्ल्ड कप खिताब जीतने के बाद स्थानीय रेडियो को इंटरव्यू पर बढ़े विवाद के बाद ऑस्ट्रेलिया के विकेटकीपर ब्रैड हैडिन ने अपनी टिप्पणी के लिए माफी मांगते हुए कहा कि उनकी कोशिश किसी की भावनाओं को ठेस पहुंचाने की नहीं थी.

ऑस्ट्रेलिया रविवार को मेलबर्न क्रिकेट मैदान (एमसीजी) पर न्यूजीलैंड को हराकर पांचवीं बार वर्ल्ड कप खिताब जीतने में कामयाब रहा. हैडिन ने इसके बाद सोमवार को सिडनी रेडियो स्टेशन से बात की.

मैच के दौरान मार्टिन गप्टिल और ग्रांट इलियट के आउट होने के बाद उन्हें पवेलियन लौटने का इशारा करने वाले हैडिन से जब रेडियो इंटरव्यू में इस बारे में पूछा गया तो उन्होंने कहा, ‘कीवी इसी लायक हैं. जब हम न्यूजीलैंड में थे तो उन्होंने ऐसा ही व्यवहार किया था.’

हैडिन यहीं नहीं रूके. उन्होंने कहा, ‘मैंने टीम की बैठक में यह कह दिया था कि मैं इस प्रकार खेलना जारी नहीं रख सकता. अगर फाइनल में हम हारते तो मैं एकदिवसीय क्रिकेट छोड़ देता.’

हैडिन के इन बयानों की बाद में मीडिया के कुछ वर्गों में आलोचना हुई थी. मंगलवार को क्रिकेट ऑस्ट्रेलिया (सीए) की वेबसाइट पर जारी बयान में हालांकि हैडिन ने कहा, ‘हम वर्ल्ड कप जीतने की खुशियां मना रहे थे. ऐसे में मुझे रेडियो से दूर रहना चाहिए था. मैं किसी को आहत नहीं करना चाहता था.’

Australia: 5 titles in 7 WC finals

-
After 11 World Cups, five triumphant and two defeated finals, Australia boast an unprecedented five titles. We look back at where they got it wrong in 1975 and 1996 – and right in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015… 1.  Captain and key all-rounder Clive Lloyd was too hot to handle for Ian Chappell’s men in  June 1975’s inaugural final  at Lord’s. Lloyd orchestrated a fine century against an opposition attack spearheaded by pace ace Dennis Lillee and Gary Gilmour, whose five-wicket haul went in vain. Seamer Lloyd’s four-for, a string of unfulfilled starts from the Australian batsmen – and as many as five run-outs – brought the Windies triumph. 2. November 1987 witnessed Australia’s maiden World Cup title , against England, at Eden Gardens in Calcutta. Opener David Boon and the little known Mike Veletta ensured a reasonably formidable total, after which two wickets apiece for seamer Steve Waugh and captain and spinn...
