Simon Katich gives Michael Clarke what he deserves

[pup11]

Plainly you've never played in any sporting team in Australia. It goes against the grain, unless you're going to the gf's place and let the boys tag along to drink her grog and try to crack on to her mates.

Yeah mate team songs are great for team unity and everything, but if the vc of your team after 5 hours of celebrations is saying "okay guys lets get it done with as i have to be somewhere", and for a matter like that i don't see any reason why Katich would have had to get physical with him.


Katich needs to control his anger imo, even in India he reacted in a very OTT way when he had an run-in with Gambhir, but there is no excuse for this, i don't know how its very different from Akthar-Asif or Harby-Sree Santh episode, the only difference is that maybe Katich might have been drunk.

Given what others get paid, that's a realistic price tag.

Lol, what?

 

[Precambrian]

Nah, apparently you risk throttling if you don't stay back for a stupid song at midnight.

I'm beginning to understand why Symonds wanted to miss those revolutionary team meetings.

Sorry but that's the current state of Aussie cricket team.

Exactly, I don't think we are being told the full story! They mentioned today there is a 'rift' between the WAG's so I assume this part of the story we won't hear about.

Lost a lot of respect for Pups after he cut his captain loose after the Perth loss in December.

He said, "I'm not the one who makes the bowling changes, the captain is".

He seems like a decent young man, but I think he just covets the captaincy a little too much.

What has that incident gotta to do anything with this..?

Thread is about Pup and him 'getting what he deserves'.

I'm just saying that, yes, he does seem a little too goody two shoes and ambitious.

 

[Precambrian]

Don't see how much different this is from the Ahktar incident really. Honestly, so sick of these cricketers.

Absolutely AWTA. I don't recollect anybody saying "blown out of proportions" back then.

Loved this bit

He spent the night at the Allan Border Medal kissing Bingle like a lovestruck teenager

Katman. He is the best choice to become the captain. No-nonsense and real Aussie.

 

[howardj]

Kat was prolly just trying to get his shirt dirty, with blood this time.

 

[Precambrian]

Australian team unhappy - gee that comes as a surprise

Anyway, add another offense to Symonds' list

1. Didnt turn up to meeting

2. Didnt beat up Clarke when he got there

AWTA fully mate. I thought Clarke was too puppish to take up the job, now I am convinced.

Right on the nail, Burgs.

 

[Matt79]

Lol, what?

Pretty simple. Players' IPL price tags are largly set by their ODI records and profiles. Clarke has a great ODI record and is a huge star. If Roy is worth $1.5 mil and Dussey is worth 900k then Clarke wanting a million is realistic.

 

[Jono]

Don't worry Zac, you can always watch your football team instead and cheer for quality guys like Setanta.

Whoops, oh dear.

LMFAO!

Worst day to be Pasag.

Hi, welcome to 2007 mate.

Since 2008, Clarke has been as bad as Jehan Mubarak. In fact, even worse.

Today's 98 does nothing to change my opinion. He took 133 balls FFS.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Post-game celebrations now include handbags at 10 paces - quality stuff.

FFS, neither of them even have a chest. Would have been the funniest thing ever if they'd ripped in fully.

Of more concern to the team would surely be that this was leaked. I wonder who leaked it to the media? Seems solidarity isn't a by-word these days. Bring back the boot camp.

Timing's very interesting too, right before Clarke takes the reigns of the ODI team.

As it's stitched up two of the more realistic choices to succeed Punter, one might suppose it could've been the man who stands to gain most from having their standing reduced. Hussey, maybe? Given he was the custodian of t'song anyway?

But that's just hearsay and in no way a reflection of the facts or what this poster personally believes.

[Langeveldt]

This is the most un-Australian thing I have ever heard, no wonder they are getting pumped in every single game they play at the moment with arguments like this.. I reckon they must be using fragranced talcum powder instead of the usual unfragranced variety, what a pair of girls..

thing # 2485 Precam apparently doesn't get: form is temporary, class is permanent.

Forgot you bought into this 'Clarke is washed up in ODIs lolz' rubbish. There was nothibg wrong with today's innings.

My god, Et tu Matt?

Don;t tell me you too are Bingled by Clarke,

He never was a good ODI player and he is showing it just now.

Agreed he will end up as a very good test batsman, but he is like Jayawardene in ODIs and T20s.

Thought your comments re electricity, or WSC would be to top re embarassment factor, but in that regard you're in Hussey like form.
