Sunil blasts the Australians

[Evermind]

Don't diss up Spice Girls, they're pretty cool. I just found one of their songs on my computer, "Tell me whatchya want whatchya really really want, I'll give ya watchya want, watchya really really want... If you wanna' be my lover...". Sikk song !

Hahaha...man, what're you, 16 years old?

Don't stop him for what he wants what he really really wants !

Good stuff Fraz.

Nice to see topic shifting to some light-hearted stuff, this thread really got pretty intense while discussing about Gavaskar v/s Aussies (battle of words).

 

[luffy]

True. I suppose calling a person who's still alive a 'black ****' is so much better.

The fact is, is that he wasn't dead, and i just believe that is so disrespctful

Yep, that's skewed logic if I've ever heard it

Just think about it, would you prefer to be called a black **** or to say **** about someone that has been killed?

Aussies go over the top, not sometimes....but most of the times. Can anyone think of any team against whom they behaved properly.......they justify this by saying that they r here to win and not to make friends....so what do they think the other teams play cricket for.....to hang out wid ppl and go for a drink!!!!

Ashes 2005?

 

[tamanna]

They lost Ashes 2005, coz they played bad cricket and England played better, period.

I think the point Luffy is making is that the Ashes 05 series was played with a really good spirit

 

[tamanna]

That was one of the best tournaments of recent times!!!!

 

[pup11]

How good or bad a series Ashes 05 was is not the question, but the thing is when the aussies were friendly in that series the same critics were criticising them for being too goody-goody through the series.

But when England showed the same aggressive behaviour on-field [for which the aussies are always criticised] through Ashes 05 their approach and attitude was appreciated and praised from every corner of the cricketing world.

In the words of the infamous NBA Jam on the SNES:

Is that a rhetorical question because its not even close.

Did I just get owned ?

 

[Scmods]

Oh Mr Gavaskar. Sunil, Sunil, wherefore art thou Sunil?

 

[Johnners]

Did I just get owned ?

yes

No not that I know of. A lot of my books are packed at the moment because I am moving, it is from Sunny Days. I did find some of the comments in another book though.

"When I faced Holding, I received four bouncers in an over and a beamer which Holding pretended had slipped from his hand....To call a crowd 'a crowd in Jamaica is a misnomer. It should be called a mob. The way they shrieked and howled every time Holding bowled was positively horrible... All this proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that these people still belong to the jungles and forests instead of a civilised country".

Gavaskar said that the crowd was baying for blood and cheering when the players were getting hit if I remember correctly. I read the book a while back and the chapter didn't appear racist to me at all.

Gavaskar is an honorary citizen of Trinidad and loved there and I really do not think he would be stupid enough to resort to racial slurs related to the Windies people or any one for that matter in the true sense.

Not racism, just blatant ignorance and stupidity.

I'd agree with that summation but wish others would provide similar lee-way to others "caught" saying similar things

With comments like :

"All this proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that these people still belong to the jungles and forests instead of a civilised country".

I'm really quite surprised he's an "honorary citizen" of Trinidad. Those comments are clearly prejudiced and uncivilised themselves.
