[Spark]

Haha that's quality.

 

[SamSawnoff]

Swanny's good.

 

[Manee]

Haha that's quality.

That was pretty awesome.

 

[GIMH]

Brilliant

 

[Bun]

Yeah those John Bull types like Tillakaratne Dilshan and Kumar Sangakkara need to wind their necks in, eh?

while I don't agree with their criticism, they've the right to do it as team seniors. they can say the win could've been slightly more convincing.

 

[Bun]

cook's whining is equivalent to the dutch coach complaining about spain's score line in the world cup football final.

 

[GIMH]

Not really given Germany weren't playing.

Anyway, can someone link to me to these whinges from Cook? Not heard any

 

[Howe_zat]

In the sense that no-one gives a ****, indeed.

 

[GIMH]

Honestly can't find any quotes from Cook about this.

 

[Howe_zat]

The quote I found from Cook was, after having been asked about it:

It was different, I've never seen that before. They were perfectly entitled to do it if they want but it was a bit strange.

Seriously laughing at Bun bringing this up as "whinges" while defending Dhoni's comments. Why should we care, again?

 

[GIMH]

That....is not a whinge. It WAS strange. Surely no-one would dispute that?

Jesus Christ Bun. When you go off on one without any evidence I feel like I'm in the cruciatus curse.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Haha Bun, are you being serious about this?

 

[Spark]

He did also say "the cricketing gods may look on that in disgust" or something like that. Having said that (as I said on twitter), it was clearly a straight response to a direct presser question so I don't have any issues with it.

KP, though, a bit lol.

Fair enough. Still hardly a whinge though. Bun just hamming it up.

As I've said, I was out for the last 25 overs of the game so I never saw KP's reaction.

 

[Himannv]

KP, though, a bit lol.

Yeah that was amusing. I dont think Chandimal even understood what he was saying.

 

[Howe_zat]

Odd comment about "The cricketing Gods". I wonder if Cook actually believes.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Does anyone have any quotes by Dilshan on this incident? I'd like to hear his defend this after the way he actively denied Sehwag a century in that One dayer last year.

 

[GIMH]

I take that to just be a metaphor for spirit of the game and all that jazz. Dunno.
