Robinson does seem like a knobhead for sure but people losing their minds over '* off' need to get a grip.

**** off

 

[KBLT]

Bit weird to give a guy who made 141 that kind of send off. Sure, if he got him cheaply, and Khawaja had been giving him shit, I could see it, but it's honestly just pathetic. Especially the whining about Ricky Ponting for some reason.

Given Robinson's uh... history, it wouldn't surprise me if Ussie's background had more to do with it than anything, even if subconsciously.

Get a grip on a knobhead?

Way ahead of ya boss!

Much a do about nothing for me the Robinson sledge.

The Aussie have been masters at similar send offs to opposing batsmen.
Siddle, Johnson, Starc and many other over the years so would be very precious IMO if the Aussie Dressing Room were upset about that.

Now what is bloody embarrassing is the *ing carry of “ Cirque du Soleil” proportions, by Warner every time he gets a century….. it’s just cringeworthy.

If Khawaja is a prick, Robinson is a porcupine

I heard his family tree is a cactus.

So Davey has upset you once in the past 3.5 years?

The issue with not having a problem with Robinson’s send off is to ask yourself what you would do if the under-13s opening bowler did the same next Saturday morning?

Davey and his lack of any grace and humility in life in general upsets me regularly.

As for his batting prowess the last 3.5 years ….. ironically it’s the lack thereof that has upset me more.

And that’s a very good and valid point.
But it’s for the match referee and the ICC to address what if any reaction is forthcoming.

More point was more the hypocrisy of the notion that the Australian Dressing Room should have issue with the send off.

History has sadly shown that the ICC has rarely come down hard on these sort of antics the last 15 years and had it been addressed expediently when it first arose, it would have never descended into the mess it has become.

Referring of the game unsportsmanlike antics has been shallow and ineffective for years.

Is the start of play scheduled to begin early to make up for time lost yesterday? Nada on Cricinfo or a quick Google search...

 

[Astro7]

Not defending knobson, but heat of the moment stuff, we've done similar before in a ashes series.

Makes it all the sweeter 'if' we beat them! He certainly carries on like a pork chop - bazball, pffft.

Not so much the hypocrisy of the dressing room, they will have marked it down.
My point was on the press.

If Warner gave Root a send off like that, the Aussies would get crucified.

Who the feck is this idiot standing next to Aaron Finch?
He constantly says the exact opposite of what he is trying to say but seems completely unaware he has said it.
I reckon he has done it a dozen times.

Stephen O'Keeffe?

 

[matthew_s]

No issue with Robinson in this instance, was an important moment in the game and he got a bit carried away. Move on.

Most dont seem to have a big issues with the send off, bit OTT in context, the doubling down is dumb but on brand for the skin suit who dolled it out.

 

[THE A5]

Bazball looks good when it pays off but it can also make a bloke like root look like park cricketer when it doesn’t work out. Yuck thats was horrible by rooty

 

[Doashuey]

Stephen O'Keeffe?

So it is, didnt recognise him but now you say it...
**** he is dumb.

 

[Farang83150]

Both these umpires a healthy looking fkrs!

 

[THE A5]

Scobo!!

 

[THE A5]

****sake. Lucky campaigner

 

[Farang83150]

Bummer

 

[Biggie]

FFS. Thought that was out

 

[Farang83150]

Wish they'd shown the track on the ball after the review.

 

[ep2018]

Might be the difference between winning and losing.
