Won't somebody think of the children!!, sure he deserved to be fined for swearing at an ump but it's hardly the crime of the century.

It says a lot that all NZ has to do is not act like assholes and they get accused of being fake good guys and all that spirit of cricket crap.

Aussie are clearly a better test side than us and yet their behaviour is a disgrace, and no not just because of the Hazlewood incident. Any time a period of play does not go in their favour they resort to acting like children. Shameful for such a historically good cricket nation.

Do you feel better now??? Let it all out.

NZ are like Exosphere, all hype and no substance. They might fluke 1 in 6, but most of the times they will lose, as they just are not that good.

We've all agreed you've smashed us - hilarious that the one day things don't go your way the players revert to type, and some ex-players suggest it's a stump mike issue - when patently it's not, without hearing anything what they (not sure wht just Hazelwood is singled out) did was wrong (and remember the decision was 100% correct). Other Australians say "anyone would react that way in that situation" - clearly not true either, most players know not to aggressively confront an umpire(again the NZ'ers didn't in Adelaide nor Wellington when clear mistakes were made - you think they weren't frustrated??) The umpires got it right (as they did in the ODI) and the Aussies got ugly... Same in tennis, players can't do it - even in baseball, when they do it they are removed from the game...

Congratulations on the win, the test cricket has been very impressive, unfortunately to anyone but the one-eyed patriots they let themselves down yesterday

Now now fella. Losing is hard I know. And hearing cricketers swear can be highly traumatic as well. But you'll get over it in time.

 

[Snappy]

Would the kiwis be sooking over this incident so much if they were about to win the series ?

The simple answer is no.

The day before they were crying about excessive appealing. Day four we have the swearing incident. Things if they were winning would seem insignificant really. Mountains from molehills.

How on earth does JJ cope with the footy ?

Sooking? I do find it interesting how most of you lot resort to back slapping jokes or deflection from the issue, rather than admittance that the behaviour is not acceptable. I doubt anyone would accept the way Hazlewood spoke to the umpire as being in the context of respect. That's the crux of the issue. Not who is winning or who isn't (game isn't over yet btw). It's a matter of respect to the officials. Yes I understand it's sport and they're playing for their national team, but what aspect of Australia is that demonstrating? I understand there is the odd f word, and I understand players disagree. But that was well over the top.

Back to the Sooking comment. Would we Sooking if we were winning? No, we would probably be mocking that redneck display I guess. And I would say the neutral cricket fans would be ridiculing you.

It certainly is a weird defensive psyche you blokes wind yourselves up into over this. You could let it die a weak death by ignoring it, but for some reason people like yourself want to bring more light on it. Strange.

Anything else you Kiwis want to get off your chest?

Troll away

That's all you really do anyway. And you aren't very good at it

With respect, disagree mate. Reckon umps would still have a problem with being sworn at, regardless of microphones

It's time for the stump mikes to be turned off. Sure, we have all said a swear word when frustrated #NZvAUS #turnstumpmikeoff #notperfect
