for using obscene language after the 13th over. The charge will be heard by Broad tonight. You would have thought after the Smith dismissal he didn't have that much to complain about.

He has been officially reprimanded but because he had 5 priors for a similar charge there was some chance of suspension. Of course the authorities haven't the balls to do that.

South African coach,Uncle Arthur,has also been reported.
No suprise.He's done nothing but whinge since he arrived in the country.
He doesn't deserve to be suspended just for swearing. People go to the cricket to watch players like him.
Yeah, they also win games AND SERIESF/D said:So one compared to about 3 charges to Australia?
Australia are the thugs of International Cricket

We win everything! Except whinging. But we fight hard and win because we have the right attitude, and Punter. What a star. Best batsman in the current game.

It's funny that when Australia were very succesful under Ian Chappell they were the ugly Australians. No complaints about them under Border until 1989 when suddenly Australia started dominating the Test arena once more, now they are the so-called "thugs" of Test cricket. In between Chappell amd Border, the West Indies dominated for nearly 2 decades and the cricket world complained of the 4 quick bowlers, unfair tacatics, slow over rates, etc. It seems to me the only thing considered "ugly" or "thuggish" in cricket is long term success. Most other countries need not worry about being labelled thugs as they don't win very often.
Swearing at the umpire, I'd understand
But getting reprimanded for swearing is just a load of bull******** (Reprimand me now), everyone swears on the cricket field, or is it coz there are "kids" going to the cricket and all that bull******** (Another reprimand )

Chappelli and a few of the radio blokes weren't happy with Punter remonstrating with the umpire after the Warne wide. I agree that swearing should be permitted providing it's not at the umpires.
