Big headed from being able to say "Hey baby, yeah I play for Zimbabwe, you fine, come back to mine. It's cool you can Google me" knowing damn well that if their name was Googled, that 4 from 15 balls or 65 off their 10 is going to fly right over the Googler's head.Kriterion_BD wrote:Big headed from...?

My concern with these young guys is that they don't get too big headed. Some of our guys are falling into that and you can tell by their play.
I've always felt most of the senior guys just viewed cricket as a [fat] paycheck and didn't much care for results so long as they kept getting picked. There's an air of non-chalance everytime a Hamilton gets out or Chatara gets hit. The only guy who seems fired up is Raza and he's in and out of the squad.
It's not arrogance borne of performance but from who they think they are and who they are told they are. Afghanistan is an irrelevance when it's the off-field that's leading to this attitude.
