Is Darrell Hair Ok to be on the International Panel ?

And as usual, trying to hide behind the whole politically correct psychobabble of 'everyone does the same, everyone is the same, cant distinguish their track records in this' type of ignorance.
You want categoric examples-yet even a 5 year old kid knows that these stuff are rarely, if ever, spoken on the record by public figures. If i am not mistaken, a while back even some of your own fellow Journalists wondered about the disparity between the image that is Australian sporting culture and the image that it tries to sell as Australian sporting culture.(SMH i believe)

U cant name one person.

It's not that hard - virtually every sportsman of any note lives under a microscope and their every move is recorded by a camera.

According to u, we are the worst so there must be literally thousands of examples out there that are a matter of public record.

Ur obviously totally unaware of his reputation

So suddenly the dude who's viewpoint is in clash of your's is of 'dodgy reputation'.
How wonderful. But i am not surprised. The few voices who do speak out against the bully-culture of Aussie sports immediately get character assassinated.
unfortunately, denial of a problem only means that the said problem wont get addressed anytime soon.

Yay! Go ignorance!
Lets totally deny the effect of iconic figures on the cultural subsets they are icons of (ie, sportsmen influencing the sporting psyche of a nation).




As i said, how very convinient to hide behind the politically correct nonsense when it suits you. How many players are gonna say 'this dude/chick was a total ******/b!tch on the field cussing and swearing like crazy' in some interview ?
Apparently in your world of fantasy, anything that isnt official record conviniently gets put into 'never quite happened'. I guess thats how you get the nutters who believe white Americans didnt discriminate against blacks on a government and institutional level because 'officially our laws forbade it'.

Unfounded claims again

U obviously want me to believe that u frequent the innermost sactums of world sport and are therefore party to non-public discussion.

Frankly, I dont buy it

U do realise that it was a WORK OF FICTION that ur referring to dont u.

AAAH whatever. Fact/Fiction, so long as it gets your point across.

I can but i dont see the point in naming a person to you as i said. You'll simply yet again respond with 'you aint got a clue'.
And i am talking about how the Aussie players behave on/off field, what they say,what they indulge in that is seen fair/unfair tactics. Yes, there is a huge archival record of such behaviour in such sports. Like i said, you are either gullible enough or disingeneous enough to consider that anything off the record doesnt exist, especially in a field where most of the stuff IS off the record.
Ofcourse, we all know which one of the two options it really is.
I noticed you stopped yapping pretty quickly about the whole 'what does he have to gain by asking payment of his contract and running with the money' line after i had to spell it out for you.

Yet another disingenous line of argument. if you cant bury your opposition with politically correct psychobabble, try the 'you havnt experienced it so you cant talk' routine.
Well, FYI, I've been decently close to the 'innermost sanctum', as you put it, in Cricket, Tennis and swimming -either playing/participating personally or knowing a lot of people who are. But regardless, i am a globetrotter and my experiences with sportsmen have thrown up far more disproportionate instances of 'the ugly aussie' image being tied to aussie team sports than any other nation by a light year and half.

And i didnt expect you to buy it. I am not even asking you to buy it. If you dont buy it, you can just leave it at that instead of trying to talk tales of wishful and fantasical thinking about the Aussie sporting culture -either in reality or perceived or both.

No, I just chose to ignore this totally illogical line of argument.

a. Do my job and earn a lot of money; or

b. Fabricate evidence and hope to blackmail my employer for basically the same amount whilst rendering myself unemployable in my chosen profession and a pariah in certain parts of the world.


ERRRRRRRRR, which is the more likely scenario.

Talk about grasping at straws.

LOL. Yes, illogical.
There is something so 'illogical' and 'unmotivating' in the concept of ' hey-lets exploit the situation so that i can pocket my next 5 years' paycheque without working another hour towards it and enjoy the easy money'.

Like..that has so not happened before or is never a motivation in bringing lawsuits or settlement offers.

Two words - "Damaged goods"

 

[Legglancer]

So no-one else sledges? Dream on.

I suggest that you know sweet naf-all about sport at much above schoolboy level if you don't realise that.

Name one piece of behaviour by an Australian sportsman that remotely compares to, say, Afridi or Azha or Malik or Cronje.

So they fixed matches or were otherwise caught cheating?

Warne was: 1 year ban for drugs.

Waugh & Warne's "weather reports" in something of a grey area for mine too.

All you guy's are suffering from Selective memory !

Let me refresh your memory .... does David hooks ring a bell ?

Probably not eh ?

 

[Smudge]

I don't think he can do anything these days, let alone ring a bell...





















Too soon?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Excuse my ignorance / mental blank, but what did Hookes do to cheat?

 

[Jono]

BTW, Asif just sledged Strauss.

Obviously learnt that from an Australian.

Oh wait, he's never played against us

He actually has.

 

[vic_orthdox]

He actually has.

Haha, I still can't believe that it was the same Asif who was bowling over here that summer. He looked so bad, he even made Khalil look threatening!
