Ahmed Shehzad

Brad Haddin: What he said, really meant and definitely didn’t

Brad Haddin and his team-mates have  fast breakfasts. 

What he said:

“Guys are up there trying to eat their breakfasts quicker than each other now.”

Brad Haddin makes no apologies for his rabid behaviour towards  Pakistani batsman Ahmed Shehzad in a Twenty20 clash in Dubai. The Australian keeper bluntly told Shehzad to stay out of the path of a ball. This was in response to Shehzad handling a throw from an Australian fielder.

Haddin said:

“I don’t know why he touched the ball.It’s not his place to touch the ball when we’re fielding.”

Haddin added:

“We haven’t changed our style. We’re a very competitive group.”

What he really meant:

“We’re very competitive. We even race each other to the loo and back.”

What he definitely didn’t:

“Now if we could only stop trying to get back to the pavilion faster than the previous guy…”
