Playing with the Obnoxious Weed

In case you didn’t know, the Australian team is touring Indian this October playing four tests in all. Somehow, the events of the past three months have made me realize that I am just not looking forward to the tour. The cricket is going to be exciting but the whole tour is just going to be full of insults, accusations and counter accusations.

Z at Sportsnob: Critics Corner is disappointed with the cricketing news that do not involve any cricket at all. Talking about insults from a rapidly-aging cricketer, is calling someone a weed really that insulting and worth talking about? Bhajji could’ve easily retorted, ghaas-phoos nahi kamse kam phool-patti to kaho.

Update: Dilip wonders how calling Bhajji an obnoxious weed is different from other insults that we regularly read about in the news.
