All this commotion about the cricket has caused people in India to burn images of Aussies and to say nasty things about us.
I wonder what reception Indian Call centre pests will get over the next few months when calling Aussies as we are about to eat dinner.:((
A litle publicity ,warranted or not,brings the crowds in,look at the attendances in Sydney,29.000,day1,29000,day2etc,etc,day 5 10,000.Long way short of bumper crowds at the time of year when Joe Public has time on his/her hands
If I were in Perth I would boycott the bl..dy test.
Trying to rip the public off as usual:((
I see that the very same Mr Clive Lloyd has stated that the ICC is a disgrace for replacing Steve Bucknor as Umpire for Perth. He is respected as a great sportsman and can be listened to. The message being that the Umpire's decision is final. If the cricketer shows dissent regarding an umpire's decision, he is usually fined. That is how it should be.Quote:

Not sure if I'm allowed to post links to youtube here or not, so I won't, but you might be interested to look at a video there of Harbhajan being clean bowled by Pietersen (England) in a one-dayer and not going. Yes, he was clean bowled, and still didn't walk. Not only that, you can clearly hear Harbhajan tell Pietersen to f-off. These are the actions of a gentleman cricketer I'm sure...
post it Poppa, post it, I love dirt!

OK, but only on the condition that it is spread far and wide asap!
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofCYo7k7M9Q"]YouTube - Harbhajan VS Pietersen[/ame]
what a "good sport" he he.
Good to see he was playing in the spirit of the game!:(
Now there's something that's beyond me...
You've got an Indian Captain saying he told the Australian Captain NOT TO REPORT the breach of the rules.
And an Australian Captain who's copping a bagging for doing so.
What is this? Some sort of funsies backyard game?
P
:rolleyes:
Why doesn't anybody remember what Symmonds had to put up with in India last time the Australians were over there?
I reckon the Indians should just p!ss off home. I won'r miss them. I really wont.
For the record, I dont care what race a player may or may not be but the Indians are trying to manipulate an outcome to suit their needs.
Sledging is, and has always been a part of the game. The Indians are masters at it. They just can't produce a team that is worth a damn at the moment.
They have been caught out doing the wrong thing so now they threaton to abandon the tour? Bloody good on them. Again, they can just p!ss off as far as I am concerned.
Well 70% of ICCC revenue comes from India, so they make the rules now..... Guess we'll have something to say at the one dayers when they come back to the SCG.
Must sell a lot of papers back home.
I read Roebuck's column this morning - God I'm sick of him. He seems to think that the row that is going on will be good for Australian cricket and that he was only calling for Ponting's sacking to stimulate discussion and now that he's done that he should be patted on the back. I'd like to 'pat' him on the back really hard with a blunt object. In his column this morning he indicates that Harbhajan did say 'something' to Symonds, and that he later apologised. If he didn't say anything bad (as Harbhajan insists and I just don't believe), then why did he apologise? Ridiculous...
The question asked at thje start of this thread was "Should the Indian Cricket Team go Home? " and the simple answer is they wont be able to after perth if they are soundly beaten , they will have to claim refugee status cause it wont be safe for the if the indian fans get to them :o
Why don't we call for Roebuck's castration.Quote:

OK children this thread is now closed. Time to move on. :D
You can bet your lefty we are going to see more of this type of crud.
Who started it? (inflamed it) - Media
Who sponsors it? - Media
Whose ratings & sales went through the roof. - Media
They going to support it getting fixed? As if!
And now Harbie has slapped Sreesanth after an IPL game. Apparently Sreesanth (a member of the winning team) walked up to Harbie (a member of the losing team) with a big smile and said "Bad luck". Which was enough to cause Harbie to lose his temper and slap Sreesnath.
Who will the Indian board blame for this one? Was there an Aussie close enough to the action so that they can blame him? I wonder how Roebuck will spin this one so that Ponting is at fault...
Yeh, but did you see Shreesanth bawling on a team mates shoulder :C needs another slap i reckon.
Harbajan loves being the bad guy, a bit like an sub continental Red Symonds...
But the cheerleaders are the greatest! Just what we need for the Ashes, lets see if they have any stamina!
LOL. You make a good point. About the crying on the shoulder and deserving a slap, not the cheer leaders. Hang on, what am I saying! :U
The latest on our favourite bowler, http://www.hindu.com/2008/04/29/stor...2952831800.htm puts an end to the letting him off lightly caper
The Board’s Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty made an interesting observation following the ban on Harbhajan ... “I am a teacher and I think these players need counselling. Some of them come from backgrounds where they may not be that well educated,” he added.
:: It doesn't take an educated person or otherwise to know how to behave, especially given numerous second chances. :~
It shouldn't be tolerated at all. :minigun: him.
But his mother says he is a good boy. This is just another example of the racist Aussies causing an incident and then blowing it out of all proportion because they are such arrogant winners and poor losers.
Oh, hang on, the Aussies weren't actually involved in this incident. Oh, erm, who can we blame then? Surely not Harbhajan because he is a great man and like a big brother to his younger Indian team mates. Hmmm. Sack Ponting. That will fix it. :doh:
Can't believe that this fool is still playing international cricket at all. How come money became the driving force in cricket? How did this happen!!!???!! :((:roll::no::no::no:
It has been since colour TV was introduced, it began with ODI's now its 20/20's.Quote:

Anyone who thinks sport is about the game and not money has been living under a rock for last 50 yrs.
