Greg Chappell Vs Rahul Dravid - who was the better test match batsman?

[Daemon]

Harbhajan weighs 72kg. Weed here sells for about 220 an ounce. So he is worth 558740.60 to our economy. Might be something in it.

where do you live?

i was told the going rate is 3 grams for $40-50

Good to see a Pakistan supporter sticking up for the fans of his mother country.

You're dire enough to unite 2 rivals.

Accept it. Yes he was being a dick. It was a reflection of personality not nationality. And most likely a brain explosion more so than personality.

ah 'brain explosion'

wonder where we've seen that term before..

Slats talked about this episode quite a lot when he was on radio actually. He said he obviously regrets it with hindsight, but says his anger was brought about by what he construed as Dravid questioning his honesty on whether the ball carried (he maintains it did fwiw). It was part of his 12 month long demise really. He suffers from bipolar, which I don't think had been diagnosed at that time. In hindsight, it was apparent something was amiss with his antics at he AB Medal earlier the same year when he got up on stage pissed, red wine in hand and blared out Khe Sanh with Barnesy. Steve Waugh has said one of his biggest regrets is the way he handled Slats around that time.

I can understand Slater's frustration at the time of the catch incident, particularly with the protagonist being Dravid, a well known ball tamperer and cheat.

To be fair Slater's commentary resembles that of someone whose brain had previously exploded.

It's the unusual concentration of dicks in a population the equivalent of Karachi which is worrisome though.

Good from this ****.

Though let's be honest, it's a confected rivalry. You're part of the same country really, like England and Scotland at football, but with nukes aimed at each other.

Everything is about nationality in this thread. You might be missing the fact that there is banter going on here.

Given he has bipolar disorder, it's very likely his brain did explode.

Check this out, Captain Spotfix weighs in to cast aspersions on other nations. Unbelievable.

This thread makes me long for some actual cricket between Australia and India.

 

[trundler]

At this point it feels like we're just going through the motions.

Wait did I miss something? When was Chennai mentioned?

 

[trundler]

The drinkable tap water joke came up pages ago though.

I was going to make a jab at Waugh and Warne in response to Burgey's post but figured why even try.

India has always been about 3 decades behind Australia in culture and style. Went thru a period about a decade ago where they wanted to be us in the 70s but realised that they had Sreesanth and Ishant, and not Lillee and Thommo.

Judging by Kohli's hairstyle (and a few others), and my theory, they are currently sitting at about 1988 Australia.

Expect them to go thru the grunge era and a Gen X phase in the next few years.

 

[Burgey]

Red Hill chiming in with some salient points in a brilliant post. Pretty much sums it all up in one go, except we had drinkable water way before the 70s.

 

[Starfighter]

Is there any fuel I can pour on this fire?

We're actually 3 decades ahead

Got to give that bloke credit where it’s due. He’s just dropped his seven kids off at what passes for school in that family vehicle.
