    Cricket on YouTube

    This is an excellent question, but sadly, I doubt that anybody here (including me) is really equipped to satisfactorily define a consistent position on it (legally based, anyway). I suspect that Youtube presents huge issues for copyright infringement, but that it's largely accepted to link to...

    India captain slams 'foul-mouthed' England

    Exactly. A large proportion of sledging I have no problem with, and I do think is part of the game. But mocking a player over the recent death of his sister? No way in hell - in fact, you'd be lucky if it didn't end up in an all-in brawl on the pitch. I had wondered if silentstriker was...

    India captain slams 'foul-mouthed' England

    Firstly, that "choo choo" story is a vicious mistruth, a myth, and was denied by Chris Cairns himself. Secondly - are you serious?? You honestly think that's part of the game? Call me shocked.

    Scott Muller v Shane Warne

    Then what happened, Gramps?

    Scott Muller v Shane Warne

    Well, I just think of my grandkids on my knee: "Kids, I nearly made it to international level. I was THIS close." vs "Kids, I did play two tests, it''s true. But the WHOLE WORLD LAUGHED at my ineptitude, and they're still laughing about it now." Easy choice for me... :p

    Haha, very nice delivery. And damn, Sanga's a fine looking man.

    There Are Two Teams Out There, One Of Them Is Trying To Play Cricket

    Well, in the sense of my fist being applied to his person forcefully, yes.... :thumbup1:

    There Are Two Teams Out There, One Of Them Is Trying To Play Cricket

    Usually I just feel like giving him a light slap. But that time, he really needed a good fisting.

    There Are Two Teams Out There, One Of Them Is Trying To Play Cricket

    And after watching the youtube video, you feel like punching Bill Lawry as he screams "and a wonderful victory for Sri Lanka!!!".

    There Are Two Teams Out There, One Of Them Is Trying To Play Cricket

    Haha, the memory does play tricks - I haven't seen the footage since the day of the match. Mahanama's shuffle from side to side is almost cartoonish in slow motion, though I'd forgotten the hard contact he makes right at the end as he veers in once again towards Gough. Hard to believe it's...

    There Are Two Teams Out There, One Of Them Is Trying To Play Cricket

    In a one-dayer between Australia and the West Indies in '99 (at Bridgetown), after Sherwin Campbell was run-out, the rioting and crowd behaviour was so bad that Steve Waugh agreed to re-instate Campbell, following advice from the police that the safety of the Australian players couldn't be...

    Battle of the Nincompoops

    Has anybody mentioned Mike Gatting's reverse sweep in the '87 World Cup? Oh, Brumby did... Speaking of World Cup finals, there's Allan Donald or Lance Klusener, depending on who you like to blame, in 1999...

    Scott Muller v Shane Warne

    Reading Faaip's earlier post (in another thread) about what Warne said in his book, it seems that Shane's essentially made it a moot point as to whether he made the remark or not, as he dismisses Muller as being fairly useless anyway. It's all a bit of a sad story, anyway, and I feel very sorry...

    Peter Brock Dead! RIP!!

    Bloody hell - it never rains but it pours. I have an "uncle" (actually just a family friend, but might as well be) that will be devastated by this, he was like Brocky's number one fan. RIP

    Most Indispensable player in World Cricket?

    Yes, hard to go past Murali on this one, though Flintoff is also a contender. I thought about Lara for a fair while - it's true that he's vital to the West Indian lineup, although his lack of consistency in recent years and the fact that he's crazy as a soup sandwich probably counts against him.

    Dean Jones sacked for racist remark

    Of course. I'm just saying that it makes a very significant difference whether somebody slips up and makes a comment they regret, or whether somebody decides to let their comment stand or attempts to justify it (and I really don't think the difference is only at surface level). Also, I don't...

    Dean Jones sacked for racist remark

    Well, I meant that one was an acknowledged thoughtless remark which was apologized for, the other was an out-and-out accusation that wasn't. Can't you see the difference? This goes to my point. I believe it is valuable and constructive to draw a clear distinction between say, Lehmann and...

    Soth Africa ball tampered in 1997

    No harm no foul, mate, it was a golden opportunity and I would have taken it. :laugh:
