Damien Martyn has a dig at Peter Roebuck on Twitter

i wonder what mr Roebuck can come up with now hiding behind his laptop about michael clarke, the game is always much easier at a desk

Think it's a pretty fair assessment, but then again, all of us Bigfooty posters could come under the same level of criticism. Then again, we know everything about the game.

Marto has always been a champ.
I'd do him.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Marto has always been a champ.
I'd do him.

I concur.

 

[placebo]

I concur.

I'm going first.

Anyone who sticks it to that ignorant pig Roebuck gets my tick of approval.

 

[Bazzar]

Peter Roebuck, the Caroline Wilson of Cricket.

Martyn really is like a petulant teenage girl on the blob.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Anyone want to offer odds on Lord Haw Haw calling for him to be banned from the IPL in his next article?

 

[trossa]

MARTO! What a legend, love him!

 

[alfy!]

Good on Marto.

 

[larrikin]

Marto still loves those writers

 

[Ron]

Love ya Marto. Keep sticking it to that dirty piece of shit.

When Bigfooty posters start getting paid for their opinions, then they can start drawing criticism. Roebuck is, supposedly, a professional.

Don't disagree with Martyn. The holier than thou Peter Roebuck is a fantastic writer though I wish he more time to leave his Ivory Tower and join us mere mortals down here who love their cricket.

While I dislike Roebuck and didn't agree with his article entirely on the Bingle/Clarke saga if this is what Martyn is refering to, Roebuck had relevant points.

At least this isn't an issue Martyn is sitting on the fence about unlike his Ashes commentary.

Don't disagree with Martyn. The holier than thou Peter Roebuck is a fantastic writer though I wish he more time to leave his Ivory Tower and join us mere mortals down here who love their cricket.

That's the best analysis of Roebuck I've heard.

I actually like the guy on the radio, but many of his print articles pontificate too much.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Marto should just send him the eyes pic, that'd make him shit himself.

Gillespie was giving it to them more.

Every time he'd come back to the dressing sheds - he'd point out the players he had passed

M Waugh - check
D Martyn - check
D Boon - check
etc etc

Gold by the big fella

Martyn has 12 more hundreds than Gillespie has.

And the person Martyn pushed was Sharad Pawar, the BCCI chief.

Marto's done and dusted

By my reckoning - that's $5263 USD per run scored - in fairness each run is a delight to watch!!
