another fkn joke from the sub continent teams......get beaten and we'll take our balls home....

India have suspended their Australian tour pending the outcome of their appeal against a 3 match ban on Harbarjan Singh for calling Andrew Simons a monkey.....

yesterday they were saying that they were only beaten by the umpires.....sorry but I could only see one blatant bad decision and that happens in every match....and now this

what is it with these teams...why can't they just take the umpires decison....it was a west Indian (Bucknor....a very experienced BLACK Umpire and one of the worlds best) who made the decision and a South African match official who made the ban...so where's the bias???....

Pakistan, Sri Lanka and India need to grow up as cricket nations if they want to play with the big boys....and look at how many blatant home umpireing decisions went against all touring teams on the sub continent before neutral umpires were introduced

I would love to see the HS ban stick...India F.O. home and then get a two year ban for all ICC matches......that allow them to consider the wisdom of raising hell over everything decision that goes against them.....you gotta take the good with the bad in cricket!

BTW their decision wouldn't be because they are already beatyen......two tests down in a 4 match series would it!!!!

bet they wont go home sure that would cost them millions,sure a clause in contract to tour.

was a great finish,what bullshit with the 2 right handed gloves,got what they deserved

floppy · #3 07-01-2008, 15:20

unbelievable.but true to form there goes our perth test

Mav · #4 07-01-2008, 16:43

In fairness India probably copped 7 out of about 10 bad decisions.....but for Kumble to say Australia did not play in the right spirit is a bit rich.....especially as they sent out their last batsman with two right hand batting gloves in a blatant time wasting exercise.

Agree with Nels here.....Sub Continent teams are basically sooks....they have a history of dummy spitting when things go against them.

Singh getting 3 matches is over the top IMO as well....l will expect a reduction there.

Don't bank on ICC doing anything if they do go home.....they are a waste of space and the good news is Malcolm Speed only has 6 months of his pathethic tenure to complete.

Schmeen · #5 07-01-2008, 17:51

I really wanted India to save that test match, but as soon as the two right handed gloves went down, I wanted them to lose.

They seem to be very quiet about that attempt.

Nothing will happen to them, the authorities are never quick to condemn the patheticly childish displays by teams from the Sub Continent.

Well the Indians are trying to start their own rebel league against the ICC and are dangling huge financial incentives to get top name players to join.Apparently Shane Bond is the latest to sign amongst quite a few other Kiwi's.

So it wouldn't surprise me if the Indians weren't doing all of this on purpose.............

Ive heard examples of Aussies sledging on the field and off it, I wouldn't be surprised if its part of the training regimen. By comparison, 'monkey' sounds rather tame.

Anyway, 2 right hand gloves....5555....pretty lame that one!

monkey may sound tame but India were aware of it being a problem,same type of incident with "monkey" happened before believe in the world cup.

Sledging aside, the Indians are just whingeing because they lost a game they had in the bag to draw. Well done to the Aussies for 16 matches on the roll.
McGrath and Warne may have gone, but they are still No1 by a big margin.

Breaks my heart to see England perform nowadays

They cant take 20 wickets in a match to save their lives!

aussie dollar · #10 08-01-2008, 03:03

shame India didnt win they played well.
and would have made the series more interesting.

l'm gunna burn an effigy of you for saying that AD

Schmeen · #12 08-01-2008, 08:14

India were never going to win it, they would have only got a draw.

aussie dollar · #13 08-01-2008, 08:35

Few Ifs,
Ponting Had Declared A Little Earlier.
India Could Have Got Runs.
Or A Draw To Keep Series Alive

Robaht · #14 08-01-2008, 08:46

I only know a little bit about cricket but enjoy watching it sometimes. What is the significance of the 2 right-handed batting gloves? and how would you compare it to another sport to get a better idea...

Cheers, Robaht

aussie dollar · #15 08-01-2008, 08:51

Protective Glove For Fingers,so They Dont Get Broke When Hit With The Ball
Of Course We Have Left And Right Hand So Need Different One For Each Hand.
The Game Was Held Up For Around 8 Mins Because A New Pair Had To Be Found.
In That 8 Mins Another 1 To 2 Overs (12 Balls) Could Have Be Bowled To Get A Result Instead Of A Draw Match(they Didnt Need Them In The End Because All 3 Batsman Were Out Within 4 Balls (i Think Around That Many)

It was a ploy to waste some time Robaht......they were trying to save the game and as the minutes ticked away that become more likely......but in the end they lost....and now they wanna sook off home.

Robaht · #17 08-01-2008, 09:03

Thanks, so it was a "delay of game" sort of thing. Shouldn't something like that draw a penalty of some sort or did they call a "time out"? Actually, I know this isn't the place for my endless beginner cricket questions but are there penalties in cricket, or is it far too gentlemanly for that...

Cheers!

dommy6 · #18 08-01-2008, 09:33

From what I understand there needs to be a minimum amount of overs per day. I think 95. Even if it runs into overtime. And on the last day when the final hour begins they must play final 20 overs whether it takes an hour or more which it usually does. Please correct me if I am wrong here.

Back to the game, I believe what happens on the field stays on the field. Only exception is if someone is been a real psycho. Funny thing is had he sledged about his mum or sister and all the loving acts alleged to have been to be done to them, there would have been no suspension.

Political correctness you have to love it not

Dori · #19 08-01-2008, 10:05

For all the English BM's, could you all please pitch in and buy Peter Roebuck (reporter for the Age) a one way ticket home. What a d!ckhead this guy is calling for the sacking of the Ausi Captain Ricky Ponting. He needs a cup of "Harden the Fvck Up" and reality check that it this is a competition at the highest level and not a kindergarten game.

Flame away!!!

Pretty much correct Dommy and Robart if any penalties were handed out for that, it would just be another reason for them to sook off.

l'm sick of these Sub Continent teams with their inferiority complex's.....let us play England Sth Africa & New Zealand....at least they don't sook when we beat them....and they give us heaps when they bend us over.....West Indies are ok as well.

Sledging isn't good for the game....and it should have be jumped on years ago....but the ICC never acted....it's been rife in suburban Australian cricket for many years now, and is now basically cultural.

Umpires are too scared to step in coz they get no support from ICC....the only umpire to try and take control of different things over the past few yaers, for the wrong or right reasons is Darrell Hair, and looked what happened to him.

l too had to laugh and shake my head over this pompous Bookwormish git's article.

l think he has Australian Citizenship now....not 100% on that, but in the article he refers to the cricket team as "ours" and ends the article with "It is possible to love a country and not it's cricket team"

l know Ian Botham wouldn't pi55 on him if he was on fire.

Ponting 'must be sacked' - Cricket - Sport - theage.com.au

Love the comment on Michael Clarke had a poor match.....well yes he did fail with the bat twice....but didn't he get 3 wickets with 5 balls to win a test match.....surely that would take it up to at least below average.

As outrageous a manouevre as it was, there was no way it took 8 minutes.

It's a minimum of 15 overs in the last hour.

As for Roebuck, you took him, you keep him. Man is wierd, would fit in well in Thailand though....

[This is the man who was given a suspended jail sentence after admitting caning three young cricketers he had offered to coach. He pleaded guilty to three charges of common assault involving three South African teenagers between 1 April and 31 May, 1999.

Roebuck was originally accused of indecent assault but pleaded guilty to lesser charges of common assault. However, the judge said he did not accept the purit
