Amazing what people do for money

Well, the tweet by the 44-year-old former cricketer did not go well with the Indian fans and Brad Hodge was roasted by the fans to another level. The fans even targeted Australia as a whole and mocked him by saying “Amazing what people do win a match”.
Brad Hodge later posted another tweet trying to save himself from the irked fans brutally tolling him by saying he would do the same. But the fans were in no mood to spare him!
Funny, I never did say there was nothing wrong with it. I would do the same. Your interpretation of my comment was so ‘glass half full’ if I attach 😃. Your interpretation would be different

Amazing how brutal people are in response. So negative and glass half full. I was not speaking in a negative tone. I would do the same if asked and paid.

How is it bothering you ? Is it because you dont hav any work & sitting idle ? Or is it because you didnt earn anything in this season of ipl . Dont know why australians are too much bothered about Indian Cricketers even when they cant control their own mates (ball tempering 😓).
