    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Credit where credit's due, perfectly delivered "**** you" from Harby there, it has to be said.

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    What seals the deal for me was their (Speed's/the ICC) insistence the day before that Bucknor would be standing in Perth. If they'd immediately announced of their own volition that Bucknor was being stood down, it would have been better, but the fact that their stance was clearly the opposite...

    Time for cricket to split?

    Yeah, here's the previous thread on this issue: http://forum.cricketweb.net/showthread.php?t=19029&highlight=split I was reading a cricinfo blog entry the other day on this affair, by an Indian writer who was complaining about the hysteria of the reaction, and I lost count of the amount of...

    Teams selecting umpires

    Yeah, it sounds harsh, but it does work -- far better than the ICC system (or lack-of) does, anyway. Anyhow, on the bright side, luckily there is an experienced umpire waiting to fill the breach should Bucknor be dropped from the international panel soon. :laugh:

    Forum very slow recently

    Access for me the last two days has been very poor, with long blocks where I either get the standard page couldn't be loaded error, or I get that weird mime-type mismatch thing where I'm invited to download showthread.php. I've pinged during these periods (example below), and I seem to have no...

    Harbhajan reignites racism storm

    Well, I agree that the Aussies can certainly be precious when they want to be, but I have a few issues with Haigh's piece. Firstly, I dislike the cheap shot he takes in announcing Australia was the last country to "lower the boom" on South Africa during the apartheid period. It's only a year...

    Oops, read "I accept it's not out" above. The matter is whether you would definitely be aware that you actually just knowingly "cheated".

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    I thought he was kind of pushing himself up, but it was still during his movement. Like I said, I accept it's out. I just think it's frequently not that highly policed, and I simply don't think it's egregious when he clearly has the ball securely. Likely done it a bunch of times myself. :shy:

    John Buchanan-What do you think he was capable of?

    His occasional idiosyncratic public comments aside, he seemed a guy over-involved in head-games and who perhaps didn't pay as much attention to the basics. I'm sure he was competent, but I'm not sure just how much Australia, already an extremely strong and confident team gained out of his...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Yeah, I'm not mounting any argument that the fact that it happens a few times and people get away with it makes it right (in the sense of the rules), but it seems to me that it's not uncommon for me to see players in a roll or particularly, on their way up to celebrate (which can happen quite...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    I've actually had the image for quite a while, I occasionally just download interesting/amusing pics as I come across them. It likely came up in an unrelated web search... OK, I admit, I typed "****" and "flavor" into google, couldn't you just let this go?

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    I still think this is highly debatable.

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    I'm not sure, I'm pretty sure we call it chicken flavor. I think the English like a bit of the **** flavor though (inappropriate considering recent events???).

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Yeah, I accepted in the post you quoted that it was, by the letter of the law out, mate. The point I was making though was that I think the fuss concerning that catch is out of proportion, as I think it quite possibly passes muster fairly often when things aren't as heated and filled with...

    .... :laugh: :p Of course, we could be wrong.

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    I'll put $100 on Rollypolly1 being C_C though. :) (And that's the last time I'll mention this.)

    Haha, not tempted to chance my odds here.

    Andrew Symonds as a Test cricketer?

    Well, I wouldn't say all of it is, but surely you can only speak for yourself, Rich? How are you, mate? :)

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Haha, describes the situation perfectly. Mmmm.... Rosario Dawson...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Yeah, but in my searching I also came across accounts written by people from India who conceded that it was an issue in some places in their country. This is why I suspect it's a class/political divide among those making the claim that it's not used that way. Depending on who you spoke to in...
