PLEASE EVERY READER TODAY AND FOR THE REST OF THIS WEEK, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT AND TRIBUTE TO HASHIM AMLA.
He is as we always say a role model for our community and in great form. Let us support our man all the way. This post will serve as a bookmark and a TRIBUTE TO HASHIM AMLA on this blog
Well what can I say, I was truely proud when Hash got his centuary at Lords yesterday. I know Hashim Amla for a while now. I met him the first time thanks to Joey "The Swaar" Kadwa who hooked it up for us to meet Hash at our Hotel where the Cricketers were staying.
I must admit that the first meeting was more reserved lol, We sat there ,had tea and I was more excited in meeting the man. What we encountered was a man thats purlely in a different class, Humble and Down to Earth. Whilst we sat there in the Coffee Shop we were more often than not swamped by people walking in and out. They wanted to meet the phemnomina in Hashim Amla that has been sweeping the communitys in newspapers etc.
From there I learned that Hashim Amla is respected off the pitch as he is on. We were having Coffee on the eve of the second Test at Newlands, Hash was due to bat the next day and I should say he was under pressure to score that test, Yet we were in the company of a man that you would swear was going on a trip to the beach the next day, Such was his Composure. He was calm and collected. I even said to him ,I said Hash...If it were me..Id be stressed out lol. Anyways he left us at about 10:30 and scored a Century the next day.
After that we met on a few occassions and last year well Hash met Swoosh, and Swoosh met Hash. We embarked on our lunches before the test and everynight we had our Chaai (Tea Sessions). And let me tell you , Hashim Amla is destined for greatness. He is humble and down to Earth. Wherever we were he embraced Fans as he knew them for years and from my experiences let me Tell you Hashim Amla is respected by everyone in the Sports and media Environment. When he is in your company he is a regular bloke and when he is inbetween the Wickets he is an icon for our community destined for greatness. He has the credentials, ability and mental strength of A great Cricketer.I was chatting to Altaaf Kazi last night about the Hash Ton. Kazi said that he was peppered by the English Attack ealier on, But his innings was that of a man that was destined to play Test Cricket.
I loved the bit, yesterday when the commentator saw Docs wife & kids in the crowd applauding hash's Ton. I wonder if his fiercest critics Barry Richards, Kepler Wessels and Robin Jackman were watching. But this is his Tribute
PLEASE LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS AND TRIBUTES FOR THIS LEGEND ,HASHIM AMLA. Now let us pour our tributes and let us eclipse 100 comments on this post.
I have sms'd Hashim ,sent him the link and THIS WILL ENCOURAGE HIM . Let this be a platform of motivation. So Comment guys...Lets support our mans rich vein of form and celebrate his 100 at Lords
Some Stats to ponder about
has scored 664 runs this year already at an average of 55, if he continues in this form he could get over a thousand by the end of the calender year. Smith got 925, but that includes that double hundred against Bangladesh', Prince 423, Kallis 395, De Villiers 540, McKenzie 799, includes double hundred against Bangso Hash is the third highest run scorer for proteas this year
