Was Australia's Sledging Too Much?

I play the stroke well.

You're assuming Warner has any redeeming features as a bloke.

His missus. See Candic Falzon (google it yerselves)

other luminaries shes been through include Braith Anasta, Matt Henjak, David Carney, $onny Bill Williams, Sam Burgess and Brent Staker

Australia just had a climax and let out a collective sigh of relief, born out of frustration by a series of no-run stands. Just hope they don't fall asleep and can get up for the next match.

Can't say I'm proud of some of the things that were said by our boys, but **** it, this is the ashes ad if they want to dish it out they can

Wait, Warner is with Falzon?? First I've heard of it...

 

[Burgey]

You've been under a rock then mate. Been public for quite some time.

It's almost as if Michael Slater hasn't mentioned it every 3 seconds on the coverage.......

England plan to add more red meat to their trendy menu, apparently after the Gabba test they decided it needs a few tweaks. If they can get it right by Adelaide things should turn around for them.

It's not the English way, things will get curly with a squeeze of lemon in their tea

Johnson was fighting for his career and getting square for years of being dominated by and ridiculed by the English. You think under those circumstances he isn't going to whack in a little payback? Completely excusable. Even had a go at an ump who called him for a bumper wide - "It isn't one day cricket"

Bailey to Anderson - fair. Don't know what he said but it got him Jimmy all whingey. Its the potty mouth with the butter wouldn't melt in his mouth smile that pissed Anderson off I'm sure.

Clarke had to make a stand to defend his team mate. Remember dressing room unity has been an issue. Clarke alive to that I suppose and stepped in. Good on him: Keeping it tight.

Warner to Trott. Thumbs down. After school hours my friend. What goes on the field stays on it type of thing. I can overlook most things in the heat of the match. But afterwards is a time for repairs or at least not making things worse. Just pipe down on twitter and save it up next time he's at the crease. making it a public comment like that felt more like ridicule than a sledge.

ffs.

fmd that's good.

Lame.

Australia v England, 1st Test, Brisbane : Clarke likely to be fined for Anderson sledge | Cricket News | England in Australia - The Ashes | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[Jono]

Only being fined because it got caught on the mic. I didn't particularly like what he said, but I imagine similar sledges are said quite often? I imagine "broken rib" and "broken thumb" get thrown around quite often out there.

This would be such a good opportunity for a company (most likely betting company or VB) to come out and say they'll pay the fine on behalf of Clarke. Would be such good free publicity.

We'll give a XXXX for Anderson's arm?

 

[GIMH]

My interpretation was that the swearing was the issue

Not sure a fine is sufficient personally, I recommend a four Test ban
