Magnificent sledging” makes Bangla day
Bangladesh opening batsman Shahriar Nafees has described the moment he was sledged by Australian paceman Brett Lee yesterday as “the greatest moment of my cricketing life”.
“Oh, it was wonderful,” Nafees, a century-maker in the first innings, told thebladder.com. “Never in my wildest dreams would I have dared to think that I would be standing at the crease with Brett Lee calling my mother a dirty whore. I wanted to pinch myself.”
Nafees and opening partner Javed Omar had carried the second innings total to 0/40, taking Bangladesh’s lead to 530, when Lee beat Nafees’ bat, gave him the eye and began sledging.
“It took me a moment to realise what was going on,” Nafees told The Bladder. “I actually had something in my eye, which is why I missed the ball for the first time in three days of batting, and then I could hear all this abuse. I finally blinked the insect out of my eye and looked up to realise Lee was glaring at me.
“He asked if my sister was a good root, and then said he’d seen better looking monkeys than my girlfriend, but he and all the other Australians had f*cked her anyway. He also mentioned that I didn’t know which end of the bat to hold but either end would fit up my arse.”
Nafees said he was thrilled.
“I called up the pitch to Omar, ‘Hey Javed, listen to this! I am being personally sledged by a champion Australian paceman. Truly our cricket minnow of a nation has arrived!’ Javed had tears in his eyes as he said: ‘At last, we are worthy of paceman abuse. Our mothers are being called whores and we should celebrate.’”
Nafees said he was so distracted with emotion and happiness that he wasn’t able to smack Lee for another four for a whole three balls, and only scored 16 off that over.
“The other downer was that poor Omar did not get sledged as much when he found himself facing Lee two overs later,” Nafees said. “Well, Lee did call him the son of a c*cksucking gayboy pillow-biter, but we didn’t actually know what that meant, so it sort of lost its impact. Still, we figured it wasn’t a complement so Omar got to smile anyway.”
Nafees made a point of thanking Lee for the honour bestowed upon he and Omar, saying: “Truly this is a glorious day for Bangladesh cricket, now get back to the top of your mark you fat, overrated fake blond c*nt.
