It was Umpire's call anyway. So wouldn't have made a difference.

So like almost every kid who's decent at sport.
Seriously, these guys spend their entire formative years being repeatedly told how good they are at something. Surprised they ain't more ****ed up tbh

Amla has been dismissed 5 times this series by Hazelwood. Someone is not doing their job. Amla obviously, but also the batting coach, and the head coach. This is ridiculous.

I've had mates who played against him in NSW junior ranks, said he was an absolute ****
but I'd take it with a grain of salt

Yeah, it would be a rather annoying piece of fortune, and would hand them a good advantage.

I mean, as GS says, it comes with the territory when you're that much better than everyone else.

Ah was it you who posted that threesome anecdote (which I think was what it was)?

I'm guessing because he beat the **** out of them all over the park.
Such standard cricket banter

Yeah that's why I think it might have been dermo

Well anyway, he's really getting the same treatment as Ponting.
Show a bit of emotion on the field, show that you really care and that you're upset when losing and suddenly you're the worst human on the earth despite reports suggesting that they're actually pretty good human beings.
It's like these punters would prefer the West Indian way of just not caring.

Fair one. Just the bounce Lyon was getting that looked it could have gone over.

I reckon it's completely ****ed how some posters carry on.
I want my captain to care, show the pain and despair of what your position entails. There's nothing worse than having a captain who just doesn't seem bothered either way
