Cricketers that don't like each other

[BoyBrumby]

Didn't Botham and Chappell have a pub brawl or something once?

Aye. The feud that rumbles on.

Chappelli seems the Aussie Boycs when it comes to making friends.

I. Chappell has a lot of enemies but unlike Boycott he also has a lot of friends.

You either like him or you dont. I mostly like him.

One of my favourite Chappelli stories is how he stood up to Bradman when he was an administrator/selector.

Couple of years ago Siddhu was sent back home from England in the middle of the tour or something like that...

What was the issue? It was Siddhu vs Azhar or Siddhu vs Indian team management?

Actually that was 13 years ago.
It was Azhar vs Sidhu..Seems like Azhar made some comments about his poor performance on that tour and it escalated.

Incredible as it seems now, Dennis Amiss was ostracised by almost the whole of the Warwickshire dressing room for signing with WSC ... even though it didn't affect his availability for Warks in the slightest. If anything it ensured he was able to play every match as he couldn't play for England.

Amiss responded by hitting over 2000 runs in 1978.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Certainly seemed to polarise opinions, the WSC. I don't know if you saw the Saturday Series program Sky showed during the Ashes that was dedicated to it, but Greig alleged that his daughter wasn't invited to her best friend's birthday party because of his involvement.

Inclined to treat it a pinch of salt as it's Tahnny, mind.

 

[stumpski]

Yeah, they were all good programmes, weren't they - some seldom seen footage.

Often forget that WSC matches got played in New Zealand and West Indies as well.

Yeah, Sky's rather good at them. The SA ones it did last season were very interesting too.

I was at a dinner the other week where Shane Warne was the after-dinner speaker. In his (otherwise excellent) speech he referred to Javed Miandad as a "***ing cheating P*ki prick". Not much love lost there I think.

You are joking? He said that?

If so, you can add racist slurs to his long list of public peccadillos.

Shane warne and Smith

They made up a believe during last year's IPL.

 

[GIMH]

Am I right in thinking that the term doesn't carry the same stigma in Oz as it does in the UK? Or am I imagining that?

 

[zaremba]

No I'm not joking. I realise that the word P*ki doesn't necessarily have the same connotations in Australia as it does in England. But even so the audience (about 2 or 3 hundred people - almost all of us white) cringed.

Edit: As you'll see, I think you're right GIMH.

Ah yeah, I would have thought so. I noticed one or two things he said on Sky were a bit what you wouldn't expect, but I put that down to cultural differences too. He is a pretty inexperienced commentator etc.

The t-word was the best example during his commentary

Lol, that was what first came to mind. Loved the slight shock in the box when he said it.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yikes. I know it's a UK-specific racial slur for the most part, but you'd have thought he'd have run it past his manager or whoever booked him first. If that made the papers it wouldn't look too clever.

Don't think for a moment Warne's a racist or anything like tho.

Could you elaborate?
