Never forget sitting at Newlands with Australia on top, Warne had just taken two wickets in an over, ****ers wouldnt give a 5 year old kid an autograph, outright refused. The section of crowd near the kid noticed this and started booing - one of the rare times I agreed with it

Isn’t he imitating Broad’s “Shocked Stepford Wife“ celebration there?

Smith is a remorseless grinder and accumulator. He drives you mad and slowly wrecks your will to live - or at least bowl - as a fielding side, but Ponting's entire approach to the game from top to bottom was establishing and maintaining total dominance, any way he could. Obviously his batting at his peak was the ultimate expression of that.

Oh, so that's what that is. Curious to see what Broad's Shocked Stepford Wife celebration is now.

Whatever it takes!!!
I honestly do not find either that annoying. It is like an expression of disbelief that they did something like that. Seen a lot worse from Messrs Broad and Warner themselves.

It's the mock hand over the mouth in shock thing he does when he takes a wicket. But which he doesn't do when he goes the journey or gets out lbw first rock when hit on the toe.

The thing he does when he takes a wicket lol.........I've seen it once, and it was in response to a ridiculous Stokes slip catch not the fact he took a wicket (it was his 5th for the morning on the way to 8/15 after all)
But as another famous Australian once said..."don't let the truth get in the way of a good story"
Edit:
Just in case you've erased it from your memory....

He actually kind of does do it in the bad times as well. Remember when England lost to Netherlands in the WT20?
He just does it when he's really shocked. The eyes tell you what kind of shocked he is.
And most importantly his name is not Chris.

That's not "mock" hand over mouth though. He was just genuinely embarrassed there. I reckon most people would do the same if they missed a runout bowled a no ball dropped a catch (or whatever else he did in that final over) to gift a game to Netherlands.He actually kind of does do it in the bad times as well.

I didn't really see the "mock" version as being mock either though. He was shocked Stokes took the catch and then just didn't move his hands away aftewards when he celebrated.
I dislike defending Broad because I think he's not only clearly a **** but also clearly not as good as Anderson (or someone like Boult if you want to to compare across countries), but I think it was a pretty organic reaction. I've figured out in my time on CW that some people are really pissed off even by organic reactions, but I only tend up to get burred up by really canned ones, which I think this one clearly wasn't. In fact I don't even think it was partially canned. I think he did his standard shock reaction and then just left part of it when he went around celebrating.
But ultimately I don't even give a ****. Not sure why I got into this. This is the least Cribb debate possible to enter because I don't have a dog in it.

Haha, I wanted to call Jimmy out on that and make a Tony Gregg reference.........but what was in my head seemed in bad taste so left it alone.

May have been the least Cribb debate but it was 100% Cribb content
