***Official*** Australia in South Africa 2013/14

[ajdude]

Australians barking like dogs after taking a wicket. Always fail to keep their feet on the ground when they win.

I want to remember this series for Warner's destructive batting and Johnson's domination, not for a guy complaining like a sissy that the opposition might have tampered the ball and then finding it OK when his own team gets reverse swing after just 20 overs. Nor do i want to remember it for ugly send offs and then later claiming that "look, thats the way we play, we sledge" No, you don't sledge, you lack the ****ing temperament and overreact when you are doing well.

well it actually had to do with faf saying they're like a pack of dogs. but let's just ignore that

Sky is blue, sun rises in east, people complain about sledging when Australia win.

It was ever thus.

No one is complaining about sledging, unless you consider "ugly send offs" as sledging or want to make it look normal even though it isn't. And my post was not just about that, it was also about the double standards shown in this series. Don't think any of the South African players will go down to that level and accuse the Aussies of ball tampering even though they were getting it to reverse way too early in this match.

Crims will be ****s.

SA batsmen not picking the ball up today . . .

Peter Siddle: Still has a big heart.

 

[Riggins]

Also he's got great shades.

Hughes flicked his toothpick at Siddle as a homage to Scott Hall.

Nup, its the truth, which no Aussie poster on CW will be able to digest.

Have you been paying attention to the actual comments by Warner and Faf at all, or just vaguely heard about them somewhere?

"I must be honest, I was really surprised to see the ball reverse from their side, I think it was 27 overs when the ball started reversing _ especially after rain and a wet outfield,” he said.

“I was really surprised by that, so … let’s leave it at that.”

that never happened though

 

[Garson007]

Why couldn't we use this many overs in our first innings again?

There's a massive difference in the comments made by Warner and Faf du Plessis, its not like the Aussies won the match and he used it as an excuse, nor has he accused a particular player of doing something against the laws. He has just made a completely normal comment especially after Warner's comments after Steyn demolished them.

The difference is that Faf had already lost 50% of his match fee for a clothing violation.
