1st Chappell/Hadlee Trophy Match AUS v NZ @ WACA

[African Monkey]

I don't know

I think they were both equally awful last night;

LOL true.

Who is Michael Clark and what team does he play for?





A little tip...if you are going to be a typical kiwi and accuse an aussie of cheating, then make sure you get the player's name correct.

A little tip, if spelling errors are all you got then shut the f**k up.

Oh I don't mind spelling errors. Everyone does them...but you were doing the 'kiwi thing' and accusing a player of cheating.

You'd think, if that incident was playing so much on your mind, then you'd get his name right. Kiwi's have never claimed catches that, upon a billion slow mo replays later, weren't actually a catch?

No...of course not.

Silly kiwis...

Doesn't explain why you pulled him up on his spelling, sidestepping the main issue

eh?

Accusing someone of being a cheat is a particularly nasty thing to do (but apparently a very kiwi thing). You'd think the accuser would at least get the persons name right.

 

[Meth]

Getting the spelling right wouldn't validate the claim nor is the claim disqualified on account of a spelling mistake.

I didn't think too much of bringing up the Clarke incident either- but pulling him up on a spelling mistake is impotent

 

[El Diablo]

whinging about someone having a go at your spelling now

what next?

 

[Meth]

Who's having a go at my spelling?

Dickhead

 

[Thomas]

Precious kiwis.

Of course no New Zealand cricket player has ever done anything bad on a cricket pitch...EVER!

 

[Meth]

Who says?

For someone who is so precious about spelling, you're pretty terrible at reading

 

[Thomas]

So whenever a kiwi player catches a bump ball it is fine to call him a cheat?

Can I do that?

Awesome.

I have an issue with the word cheat. To cheat is to knowingly do something against the rules. As for the Clarke bump ball incident, f**k, he probably thought he caught it too.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Haddin most likely knew that putting his gloves in front of the stumps was against the rules.....just saying.

Knock yourself out

Seriously

I have an issue with the word cheat.

Then why'd you bring it into the conversation?

 

[Batman Returns]

I just dunno why Haddin was telling Ponting on the field that he was positive that the ball flicked the off bail if there was absolutely no doubt that Broom was out bowled. Everyones c**k-a-hoop about Broom being out bowled and Haddin goes up and says "gee Rick, I think that clipped the off bail". Unless they were discussing the issue of what Haddin had done with his gloves, why would Haddin say that? Ponting would've looked at him like he was mad. It all stinks. Anyway, I think if Haddin is upset about being called a cheat they should just say he's gutless instead cos he didn't want to upset his team-mates by doing the right thing. It's a stain on his character he'll have to live with, but sport is pretty cut-throat I guess.

Incidents, there were two of them. Dravid and McGlasson

Hey, NZ won the game. I'm not whingeing about Haddin. What he did just wasn't worth it. I thought he was a good bloke. Karma came around and bit him.
