Fair enough.

Doesn't cry and giggle when he gets a wicket like he got his first lay, so he's better than Watson.
It's a douche-athon!

What just happened btw? I'm square leg umpire at a likds' night game atm

I like Nash's spin to see where the ball had gone followed by acting like he was just practicing the shot.

Nice leave Brendan :happy: Nothing better from the bowler's point of view really than seeing that happen.

Yes, it tends to do that when you've been at the crease for a while (in Deonarine's case). Mental fortitude is such a simple thing, seems most cricketers in the history of the game have been lacking in it.

Anyway enough of this 'batting in partnerships' and 'creating pressure' mumbo jumbo.
it's assumed cricket is played by robots at times

I'm honestly not sure I've ever seen two deliveries as good as those two Bollinger bowled to Nash back to back to get a wicket. He may be an inbred-looking potato head, but **** he can bowl.

There's a reason why people who do stupid **** once in life get more lenient sentences then serial offenders.

Watson is the biggest dick in intl cricket, and backs it up every session of cricket he plays. He doesn't do one dumbarse thing, he does many.

He also cries.

Good player though.
There's no denying he's a bit of a dick, but I do think it's a bit funny how when someone like Bravo takes a wicket and does a lap of honor around the field and three backflips he's just displaying his Caribbean flair and when Flintoff does it he's some sort of Man-God carrying the weight of England on his shoulders, but Watson is just a douche.

Yeah. And the one previous to the two deliveries also had Nash played on almost. And Nash was looking very solid an gritty, almost impossible to get out.

Bollinger is bowling well this over as well. Awesome to watch.

But considering the image you like in a cricketer, the fact that you defend Watson's ****headedness is weird.
I suppose that's true, but it's consistent - I like Sreesanth and Bollinger as well for example. A bowler wearing his heart of his sleeve is great to watch IMO, as long as it doesn't effect his actual bowling (which to be fair it does with Sreesanth at times). There's a difference in my mind between showing heaps of disappointment/excitement and instigating a confrontation. I like it when Watson jumps around like an idiot when he takes a wicket, and I like when Bollinger kicks the ground when he gets a decision turned down because it's all about what they're feeling about the game and not some stupid personal gripe with another player. Watson definitely crosses the line with that sometimes and I agree that he looks like a douche when he wants to have a running battle with someone, but the specific examples you gave about him (over the top celebrations and signs of disappointment) are things I actually like seeing.

This. Although, Flintoff is a Man-God tbh.
