Sanjay Manjrekar tweet elicits sharp opinion

Bengaluru, December 19: Sanjay Manjrekar does not keep his opinions to himself - expressing them either during commentary or on his twitter handle.

Mitchell Starc's delivery to dismiss James Vince during the third Ashes Test at Perth has been the talk of the town and Manjrekar voiced his thoughts there too. (Watch Starc castling Vince below)

That’s called a JAFFA! What a delivery @mstarc56 you reminded me of my bowling days and I enjoyed it to the hilt! You made left armers proud! @CricketAus

He said through his Twitter account that as long as there's English batsmen we will get ball of the century. It was also an allusion towards Shane Warne's ball of the century to dismiss Mike Gatting in the 1993 Ashes series.

But Manjrekar's tweet has divided the opinion vertically in the social media. MyKhel takes a look at some of them.

As long as we have English batsmen, we will have balls of the century.😉

When the Indian fans call Sachin a God, do the Aussie commentators/players tweet that as long as Indian fans are there, we will have human gods. #Think #Respect #Ashes

Sanjay I respect you a lot, but being a cricketer never under estimate other players.. English players are champs

Introspection required. Please think the way you batted. Was more or less similar to the batsmen you are referring to.

Oh! So that bars Sanjay Manjrekar to have his opinions? C’mon dude! Attack his views, not the person. And by the way, Harsha Bhogle has probably never faced a ball but he is easily among the best commentators of thw world.
