And secondly, I have been corrected by my uncle regarding this. Being shaken up wasn't the only reason Kapil asked for some water. According to Indian tradition, you tend to take a shower to cleanse yourself of the sin if you happen to kill a living thing and it seems Kapil wanted to just pour a bottle of water over his head for that too. Anyways, AB was a major jerk that day and I still hate him for it.


And about Ponting, Nnanden, I just used that example to show that he is a tool. But I guess everyone around here knows it anyways. So we will leave it at that.

And the reason I brought it up now is that Harmison has said that it is his one regret from the last Ashes in a recent interview.
It's not even about being Indian. You'd have to be an heartless idiot not to feel anything after killing a bird like that.
Of course, we have to make an exception for SS.

Also, pigeons are the rat air force. They are just as annoying as rats, with the additional ability to fly.

No, you let others do it, and eat them afterwards. Which makes you just as responsible.

If they remove the cumbersome hunting laws, I sure as hell would. Especially cats, can't stand the little bastards.

Of course I'd use my cross bow and these arrows for cats..just so I can have the satisfaction of piercing their hearts:
