Absolute disgrace

[jot1]

In the aftermath of the match I may have overreacted (I really did want SA to win) but I maintain that this the worst behaviour I have seen on cricket field. Even the Miandad - Lillee incident was lolworthy. But here 3-4 guys ganging up on one man is the kind of hooliganism that should have no place in cricket. And I for one think that it takes pussies and not "men" to gang up like that.

Amen to that. Yes, I am a female poster. For the record I am a NZ fan as well as a SA. I have family living in and around Hamilton, which is why I joined a NZ cricket forum. And Vittori is a babe!

Crossing the line now

Apparently Mills, Vettori and du Plessis have all been fined.

Mills pleaded not guilty.

Lol just imagined Sachin, Raina, Piyush and Munaf ganging up on Gayle

lolz, 120% of his match fee.

How much does a non-playing reserve get? $1000?

What a champ/chump

Mills pleaded not guilty.

What a plonker

Maybe they are. If it took 4 of them, one not even playing, so coming onto the field to help his mates, to intimidate one guy, who, by the way, is smaller than them.
What sort of message are these "heroes" sending to their many fans out there. Never expected this from NZ. Very poor show IMO.
Congrats NZ, apart from that incident, your guys did play way better than ours and deserved to win.

I am wondering whether they have tried it on Afridi. Afridi may be smaller than Mills, Vettori and few others, but no one will like to exchange a punch with him.

Having said that love to see Afridi and Water boy having a go at each other.

haha.....I doubt any team would try that on Afridi........................you never know with him.......given how crazy he can he might actually punch the lights out of someone and he is an extremely strong man..........can be dangerous

Well, we all know Sachin wouldn't hear anything

Guys chill this is only a bit of banter. People can't be perfect 24/7. That's hardly a fight. I was expecting people throwing carcasses around. It's a gentlemens sport -.-

Haha, true that.

Probably explains the paranoid voices you hear as you read every post.

Mills pleaded not guilty.

That's brilliant. Did he have an alibi?

Coming from an Ice Hockey crazed nation, I see a lot of this and this.

So I'm all for it tbh, I'd love to see a bit more of that.

A fellow fan of hockey and cricket?
