Opinion Cricket thread

The action on this Curran fella is somewhat suspect imo.

 

[roo blitz]

The flat track bully Warner strikes again. Every time he opens his mouth dribble comes out of it. Real class slagging of a young bowler playing his first test after he gets you out on a no ball then prancing around like a idiot when you get a ton on a road. The respect the world showed Warner and the Australians when Hughes died gets paid back by this idiot mouthing of at everything that moves. My love of cricket is fading quickly because of idiots like Warner. Quicker he stops playing the game the better

Mate...... have you not seen his ad on tele? If it wasn't for cricket he'd still be packing shelves at Woolworfs. He is thicker than the outside edge of his bat, please don't go looking for anything more than brutal cricket shots from Dave.

He is a bully. Little angry mans disease. One day an opposition player will respond and give him a thump and then we will have a major incident. He's not witty or amusing, just a loud mouth who should learn to keep his trap shut. He wont have too many friends in the cricket world when he retires.

Whatever. The bowler mouthed off at him before he responded.Warner has been pretty good the last 2 or 3 years. People's perception of him are based more of his early years when he first came into the team.

 

[King Corey]

Oh those big bad boorish Australians are at it again?

Wish we had more exemplary role models like Virat, Stokes or Butt.

You're an absolute tosser for bringing Hughes into it.

The pommy bowlers have been jerking themselves off all tour even though they've done **** all and mouthing in the tabloids, they get what they deserve.
They've been whinging all tour and reports are that Warner is sick of them playing the victim when they give as good as they get.

This is the same bowling attack that contains a bowler currently being slammed world wide for bowling wide because he couldn't stem the runs.

Bet you missed the times that Curran, Broad and Anderson got into Warner as well. They were at him all day.

Absolutely blows my mind how often people miss the psychological aspect of cricket completely, of course you get into a bowler if he bowls a no ball that dismisses you, it gets in their head and they second guess themselves constantly meaning theres a chance you get easier to hit balls.

Way to misread what happened.

You're a pom, aren't you? Didn't notice 3 of them going at Warner?

36dg C day in Melbourne. God ( allah, buddah, santa & alike ) help the Poms if Smitty gets a hold of 'em early on this pitch.
500+ a distinct possibility and maybe a little Cummins / Hazelwood before close of play should be fun.
Dream ? Root on the last ball of the day to have them 3/17. Poms then forfeit Sydney test and slink home.

Like it. No mercy. Sweep the knee.

Only the Indians rival the poms for self-righteous outrage when their own effluent blows back in their face.

 

[koshari]

Absolutely no excuse for a professional bowler to be bowling no balls. Just plain stupid to think they are getting any practical advantage going right up to the popping crease. they should have at least half a foot behind the crease and any less than that the bowling coach should be making them roll the arm over in the nets till they get it correct.

I spent a month in india and my experience was a foreigner dont get a minutes rest from the constant hassle. Blatent racism and corruption every corner one of the few places iam not in a hurry to go back to. Shame really because some of the places we went to were truely breathtaking.
Went to elephant island caves and at the entrance the admission prices are clearly posted and indians pay 10 percent of what they charge foreigners. Imagine if we tried to pull a blatant stunt like that.

Spot on. But racism doesn't exist outside western countries so you must've got it wrong.

I mean, imagine the sort of penalty if this bloke racially vilified an Australian player:

It would result in Australia copping a penalty and the ICC begging on their knees to the BCCI....ohhh hang on a minute. .

Mrs Toes and I in 2009 spent 8 hours in transit at Mumbai Airport, between Dubai and Singapore, where we were screened for Bird Flu, had to ward off local airport staff from ripping us off (ask for directions and they put the hand out asking "what's in it for me?" or they won't answer your question), couldn't change foreign currency and we were split up by the rifle toting over hyped cops and interrogated, causing tears for Mrs Toes. I saw that and said "WTF is going on?" to suddenly feel the barrel of a rifle under my chin with a cop saying "Do you have a problem?" Next we had our baggage offloaded despite it being booked through to Singapore and had to pay 25,000 Rupees to get it back. Absolute friggin crooks the lot of them and the Indians we know here in Melbourne have since said "that's Mumbai for you!"

It turned out the harrassment was due to the then recent terror attack on the hotel and the fact Hillary Clinton was at Mumbai Airport in Airforce One at the same time as us. Bitch!

Poms fight back. Never get excited until both teams have batted once!

Looks like we all started sucking each other's Hadlees a little early..

 

[Hojuman]

Lyon magic this morning please. Some predicted showers may see this peter out to the inevitable draw though.

 

[Twinkletoes]

A wicket finally. Cummins probably thinks it was a mirage after yesterday's illness and heat. Still hoping we roll through the rest quickly on this featherbed of a pitch but not holding my breath.

 

[Hojuman]

Good boy Gary. Tail is yours.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Ali is Lyon's bunny.

 

[Hojuman]

Hey Barmy Army. 3 - 0. Urn is ours. Sing yourselves hoarse.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Thats out, Ussie kept his hand under it.

 

[Hojuman]

Agree with commentators. Should have declared and had a bowl at us tonight with tails up. Rains tomorrow they'll regret it.

Agree - only England can win now so why not have a crack tonight? Pommies captaincy has been very poor right through the series and this is another big opportunity lost.
