Sri Lanka in Australia thread

[tooextracool]

I would tend to agree.

But you can't dispute that not having Murali makes a greater weaking of the Sri Lankan bowling line-up.

they might as well cancel the tour and save the humiliation....

Come on, you can't become the world's leading wicket taker by taking cheap wickets against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.

107 wkts at 15.66 from 16 tests definetaly helps.

Do you think he's rest time would've been better utilised against Zimbabwe or Australia??

IMO, If Murali, played for South Africa, England, Australia, for example, the supporters of these countries would not be saying Murali chucks.

has nothing to do with whether he chucks or not.

Well, Ive officially lost all respect (what was left of it) for Murali. To not tour for, in my opinion, no good reason is just disrespectful to his team, our team and the fans.

Agreed, he's given too much weight to the opinion of our useless Prime Minister.

I think at the end of the day I probably agree with you, but on the plus side it sticks two fingers up at an idiot politician who should have known better.

Wouldn't go that far mate. Australia WILL win but don't lets get carried away.

Hey you were probably being sarcastic anyway. So don't reply to this.

 

[Scallywag]

Australia should be fined for upsetting Murali and the series awarded to Sri Lanka. Man what a soap opera.

here's an article I just read on that idiot politician

Get over it Eddie the rest of the world has.

Firstly, I think you and others are overreacting on Howard's comment. Sure, it wasnt the best thing to say, but it wasnt intended to hurt anyone. If he had known Murali would chuck up a stink and not tour, Id say he wouldnt have said it. But of course, that kind of thing happening would not be the behaivour you would expect from an International cricketer, and so, one would think, highly unlikely.

Secondly, a better way to 'stick two fingers up' would be to come over here and bowl out the Aussies without any dodgey actions. He needs to let his cricket speak, not his troublesome mouth.

John Howard

Leader of Australia

Australia best cricket nation in the world.

What have you got Luckeddie a few cliches.

Firstly, if the government aren't going to step in and stop a side going to a strife-torn country, there is noway they should step in and comment on a non-political cricket related matter.

Secondly, Howard is a goose, and the sooner the Australian public realise that and get rid of him the better off we will be.

Where is implying the merest criticism and having a dig at a politician 'overreacting'?

I said "I think at the end of the day I probably agree with you, but on the plus side it sticks two fingers up at an idiot politician who should have known better."

Get that? PROBABLY AGREE WITH YOU.
But on the plus side, it sticks.... you can get the rest.

apparently being the highest wicket taker in world cricket isnt enough for him,he thinks that the world should always be nice and rosey for him.....people who call him chuckers should be banned and places where he has been has been disrespected are places that he shouldnt play in.

See, Linda?

THAT's an over-reaction.

So what if its not political? Just because hes the Prime Minister doesnt mean he cant answer a question about cricket.

I dont know if I should bother with the last bit. This has nothing to do with him being in office, so is there any need for anyones opinion on that?
