Afridi's "hunger"

After the T20 WC victory, there's been one player whose ego is too bloated - Shahid Afridi. Ever since that victory Afridi has been hungry to win it all for Pakistan. The great hunger prompted the PCB to give him captaincy of the T20 side and vice captaincy of the ODI side. Now hungrier than ever, Afridi has been trying to shut out opposition with his blind cricket. While there has been some success, he has been unsuccessful most of the times. But the other day at Perth, he took his "hunger" to a whole new level. The sight of Afridi chewing at the ball while Rana Naved tries to control laughter made me laugh till I cried. Not only has he taken his "hunger" to a new level. With 27 cameras around him, he has shown the world a new way to tamper with the ball!! How ridiculously stupid!!! But the ICC seems to have let him off the hook. A 2 match ban is nothing for that stupid act - the most stupid act I have ever seen on a cricket ground!!
Thank God the IPL did not make a hasty decision and try to rope in Afridi. The Indian media would have had a field day!
