Cricket can be aggressive, not dirty: Waqar Younis
December 22nd, 2009 - 7:29 pm ICT (UTC +0700) by IANSSydney, Dec 22 (IANS) Pakistan bowling coach Waqar Younis said people like to see aggressive cricket but it should not be “dirty”.
Australian captain Ricky Ponting recently cracked down on bad behaviour following sanctions meted out to three of his players in the Perth Test against West Indies.
Waqar, who is here with the Pakistan team on the Australian tour, however, said he enjoyed seeing things heat up between the Aussies and the West Indies players during the third Test at the Western Australia Cricket Association (WACA) Ground in Perth.
“In a way it is nice to see because you want to see aggressive cricket, and you want to see positive cricket and people wanting to win the game,” Younis was quoted as saying in the Sydney Morning Herald during Pakistan’s warm-up game in Hobart.
“As long as it is not dirty, that is what you to want to see. I don’t mind our boys getting out there and taking the other teams on.”
