Andre
International Regular
LOL. Don't worry, I'm his biggest detractor - and with good reason I reckon. He doesn't swing the red ball unless it is brand new (and even then struggles), bowls with a flat, skiddy trajectory rather than using his height to gain bounce and trouble batsmen. But the thing that annoys me the most is that he bowls around the wicket if the ball is not swinging, which effectively gives him the same angle as a right armer, negating his main advantage - variation.Mr. Ponting said:NO! I don't want to bring it up again, but NOT BRACKEN!
For mine, I'd pick Nicholson.

Nope.marc71178 said:
Had a moan to Venkat, had a sledge to Rahul McDravid. Match referee let him off with a warning.
The nearest I've ever seen to a player abusing an umpire (Apart from Andre Nel every time he appeals) was Gatting/Shakoor Rana. The Slater/Dravid/Venkat 'incident' was of no consequence at all in comparison.

Yes, but it's still much ado about nothing.
India felt strongly about it at the time, probably because they lost that game. Possibly it served more than anything else to focus the team, to fire them up for the rest of the series.
Do you think the incident soured relations between the two countries?
If not, why the mock indignation?

Oh, I agree. He was extremely silly at best.Sehwag309 said:
Slater was shrugging his shoulders, meaning he did not know if it was a catch, you dont open your arms and turn your wrists when arguing. If Slater was pointing or raising a fist I would agree with you but he does not act threatening at all and it looks like both had something to say without any problem.
Look like McGrath had to say a few words as well

Lillee's latest little Murali diatribe contained this little gem:
As opposed to picking up their aluminium bat and throwing it home.

Dennis Lillee was less soothing, telling The West Australian paper: "I was brought up to be wary of people who pick up their bat and go home.

.Which makes sense because it is always the kid with the one bat on the street who decides when the game is over.

God Sanz, i dont turn on the forums to see anti Aussie crap like what you been posting, and dont deny it, you obviously have a chip on your shoulder about Australians. I am going to the Cairns test match, and i can say that the people of Carins and Darwin would treat Murali coming to Australia as a privlidge. These 2 cities only get to see international cricket live once a year, they are both a long way and expensive for the so called 'drunken anti murali yobbo's' from the other cities to come up to watch the test matches there.
Regarding Williams not playing, thats a dissapointment but was expected from the Zimbabwean series i guess. I know personally i will be hoping for either Cleary (a long shot i know) or Macgill to get a place in the squad. The pitch wont help Macgill, and Cleary is inexperienced, but still Would love to see either of those 2 included.
My 2C worth.

Says Who, ACB ? Yeah Right I believe them.marc71178 said:
Well that means the Aussie players do try to cheat at times by claiming catches, How many times have we seen Aussie fans calling that fielder as 'Cheat'. As for warnie, Didn't he take a banned substance before the world Cup despite being given a list of all the banned substance by Cricket Australia ??marc71178 said:
I am not attacking any nation here, I am attacking the fans who dont want Murali to excercise his right to stay away from a tour. These aussie fans are just ****ed that they will not get a Chance to have a go at murali.
