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.’

The recent Indian Budget 2023-24 has many exciting announcements for the hard-working middle class, including those who are salaried individuals. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the key changes and benefits for salaried people and how they can potentially save on taxes. Tax Rebate: The Limit Has Been Increased The first major announcement is related to the tax rebate. Previously, individuals with an income of up to ₹5 lakhs were not required to pay any income tax in both the old and new tax regimes. However, the budget has increased this limit to ₹7 lakh for individuals in the new tax regime, which means that individuals with an income up to ₹7 lakh will not have to pay any income tax. Reduced Tax Slabs and Increased Tax Exemption Limit In 2020, the government introduced a new personal income tax regime with six income slabs starting from ₹2.5 lakh. This year's budget has reduced the number of slabs to five and increased the tax exemption limit to ₹3 lakh. This mea...

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...
