    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    Just for my own curiosity, can somebody clarify what Nixon actually said?

    Michael Bevan Retires - and Tribute Thread.

    Yep. I would say that's part of what precipitated Bevan's exclusion from the national team (apart from a slight loss in form and his tendency to spend two or three couple of overs hitting straight to fieldsman before getting his bearings). He was a master of a run-a-ball cricket, but he didn't...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in South Africa

    Inzy tearing it up here. This is great stuff to watch. Hopefully not jinxing anything, but heading for a great ton. And congrats to Ntini on his 300 test wickets. Great achievement. You could tell that Smith was a bit dissatisfied with the group hug and really wanted some one-on-one time...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in South Africa

    Say what you like about Inzy (and everybody does) but there aren't many better in this type of situation. If I had to pick any batsman in international cricket to defiantly carry a tail when needed, he'd be the man. Been doing the job perfectly the last five or six overs.

    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    Yeah, I was thinking about this last night. The way that teams are formulated obviously encourages us to praise and criticise, support or oppose players on national lines. In fact, although hilarious in some respects, the ICC's (or was it Cricket Australia, I forgot) decision to release a list...

    Best and worst shots

    Yeah, not a bad description, it's not unlike a double handed backhand towards the center of the court (from a central position).

    Best and worst shots

    Do you mean in terms of attempted pulls that are mis-hit, where the ball hasn't quite come on, as well as being a bit too wide? While that happens, the shot I'm describing is quite deliberate - sometimes that bat is angled almost diagonally, in order to slap it straight - virtually moving the...

    Best and worst shots

    FAVORITE The Slog Sweep: Patented by Steve Waugh against the slow bowlers, but was at it's most exciting and extravagant when he did it to the pacers. There's just something really provocative and in your face about it - and it requires really good timing to pull it off down on one knee...

    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    I was only inquiring as to whether it was Gibbs alone that made the two comments, which SS clarified. I think we all understand that the comments were in response to the spectators on the boundary and not directed specifically towards the Pakistan players. I don't think anybody's disputing that.

    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    Ah, fair enough. I thought the other player had contributed the "zoo" part. Incidentally, in some places, the final comment is being reported as "It's not ****ing Pakistan, this", which is probably worse. I listened to the clip you linked to with the volume right up and it did sound a lot...

    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    Maybe I should have been clearer - I wasn't asking what was said, I was asking if Gibbs made both those comments. I was under the impression that the outbursts were a conversation between two players, and that one made the zoo comment, and the other (Gibbs) made the "****ing Pakistanis" remark...

    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    I don't disagree, but did Gibbs actually make both those comments? Maybe I've gotten confused.

    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    I personally don't think there's enough to prove that's what Gibbs was intending, but don't act as if it's ludicrous that it could be taken that way. Think about just about any environment, where somebody says "****ing Asians" or "****ing Africans" or whatever, even if it's only addressing a...

    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    Maybe it's time to take a break from the subject, mate. Your posts on this matter are getting fairly nonsensical, IMO.

    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    Yeah, no argument there - the rules of conduct are pretty clear about what a player cannot do, and he pretty clearly violated this by bringing nationality into his comments like that. So he obviously must play a penalty, and I'm fine with that. But it appears to me that Broad has categorized...

    best haircut in australian cricket

    Might've had one or two bad hair days on the way, but all in all, had a fair sense of style, IMO.

    LOL, how could we ever forget. Shoe-in for the Cricket Australia production of Annie.

    Walk or shut up

    HJC, how have you managed that? When I was playing competitively (at school and juniors) the standard of the umpiring was so poor that if you got rapped on the pads at all, you might as well just take your gloves off and start walking.
