Appealing is a part of the game, and yes, bowlers can get excited, that's because their role in the game is to take wickets. And everyone does it, not just Australia, not just Warne or Lee, every bowler wants wickets, every captain wants wickets. Jesus.

...and Lee, Warne and Ponting go a lot further than the vast majority, yet are never punished for it. Double standards.

Anyway, what's going on with the cricket? - since when is Michelle Leslie more important than cricket?

On rare occasions they might, and yes I am disgusted at channel 9. First they go off for the news as McGrath is on 46*, now this bullcrap, it's only because she's a model. GET BACK TO THE CRICKET YOU NOONGS!!

You lot are carrying on like it's a crime to appeal any more. One day it will end up players having to, after the follow through, stroll up to the umpire, ask permission to appeal and then ask "was that out?" in a calm, polite manner, offer the umpire a cup of tea and a blueberry muffin or else you get fined.

Appealing is a part of the game, and yes, bowlers can get excited, that's because their role in the game is to take wickets. And everyone does it, not just Australia, not just Warne or Lee, every bowler wants wickets, every captain wants wickets. Jesus.

It's not the appealing that is objectionable, it is the response to the not out that is disrespectful

Well that's what it's all about, the heat of the moment, the time at which it happens, now what we see during replays and hawkeye, right then and there the decision is made, what you see is what you see, what the umpire sees is what the umpire sees, and in my opinion, Symonds appealed, looked a little surprised, and then queried the decision. Nothing wrong with that.

It looked out at the time at which it happened. I'm not sure what else you want me to say.

Can someone else pick up the cricket?? Give it to the ABC or SBS because this is a disgrace. Better yet, I wish someone would create a free-to-air sports channel so we don't have to put up with crap like that.

Gee, I dunno. I'm sure we're all pretty interested in the emotional plight of a convicted drug user :dry:

As a player you have to respect the decision of the umpire. Whether its right or wrong is not the point. Showing dissent is just not on.

A lot of praise and all for Lee. The economy rate is what I look at and then the two of the thee wickets which could have been avoided.

He has to be less expensive.

9 overs for 29 is fine, especially for an express pace bowler.

What's the big idea in having two specialist spinners in the side if the second one is going to come on to bowl after the first one has bowled more than 25 overs ago and the opposition is at 166 for 4 after being 3 down for next to nothing !!

Aussie captains, all of them, rate very low on their handling of MacGill when both he and Warne are in the side. Warne and MacGill have bowled well in tandem, on the few occasions that they have been thus tried.
