Yeah. You keep producing players that scream in the face of opponents when they've gottem out. Good on ya, Matty boy. Full on rolleyes at your post.
Not saying that some of our player don't act like tools, but I do find
it weird how fixated several of you Kiwis are on the topic.

Blow me for commenting on the subject; and well done on completely skipping my complimenting of Ponting for having a word with the guy. And its not as if I don't blow up at McCullum when he tools up too.

Some of us would prefer to keep the ugly side of the game out of cricket. Still, your defense of your Aussie boys might be a sign of a guilty conscience! ;)

Reckon you should play the post and not the poster.

It's hardly Hauritz or Hussey doing it, its a serial offender and resulted in many posters finding it inappropriate and embarrassing. Surely nationality is irrelevant?

Yeah Sarwan showing why he was left unselected in the 90s and 00s draft, in the 10 teams chosen.

Clarke isn't too bad, usually pretty quiet on the field and not looking for a fight.
That was more aimed at Matt, and my continual pursuit of Michael Clarke for that catch he claimed against NZ. Cheating bastard. I thought he'd pick up on that post, to be honest ;)

But I'm not defending Watson, or even criticism people for criticisizing him in this instance. I'm commenting on the trend that whenever an Aussie player does something that is toolish or even borderline toolish, it has become very predictable as to who will be leading the witch hunt.

I called Watson's behaviour toolish in my post too.

Add to the fact Gayle bowled Roach into the wind plus the Ponting retired hurt should count as a wicket. Similar to Sharma here a couple years back wowed everyone but finished with a very poor series average.

c.f. my previous post.

And anyway, Matt. If I see any other countries' player acting like that, I'd mention it in the match thread.

It just so happens that the recent NZ/Pakistan series was pretty much without incident and I missed the Benn/Johnson/Haddin spat.

Alright Heef, peace hey. ;)

I don't think Watson should be suspended, but he deserves a fine fornthat send off.

There's a line between having character (and not being a robot) and being ugly. Poor sendoffs fall into the latter category and are really tactless, ffs.

Hauritz is such an improved bowler. Think back one year ago, the guy couldn't even buy a fan. Now he is one of the most crucial bowlers in the Australian lineup, and has proven to be one of the smarter off-spin bowlers in the game.

Yeah. No probs mate.

Under normal circumstances, sure he should just be fined. I'm not sure whether the context of what's already happened in this match would be taken into account. If it is, then he may well be banned. It would be an overreaction to this incident in isolation, but the match referee is bound to take a dim view.

Oh, noes. Hang on. Its the Australian Chris Braod az refere. He will let Wotsen of Scot free,

That was a crap shot TBH.
