3rd Test: Australia v India at Perth Jan 13-17, 2012

[Timbo]

Also does anyone else remember how Sri Lankan curators 'prepared' wickets for Murali? By scrubbing them with wire brushes on the morning of the first day.

Stories like this really piss me off.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

At least Shahid Afridi wasn't on the pitch.

Some of the West Indies pitch preparations were the best. They used to pour kero on them and set them alight.

 

[juro]

Do you really reckon a curator would risk his career by having a booze-up and a chunder just short of a good length???

 

[Canard]

Putting aside team and country affiliations, this shouldn't have happened.

Its poor judgement from the WACA staff at best.

 

[Chip Bayless]

I awoke to this party on the pitch - wow. Stupidity has no limits.

That must have been one hell of a noisy party!!!

 

[Hutty1986]

Brick, are you trying to tell me there's a party on your pitch and everyone's invited?

 

[IanG]

Will add a bit more life into the wicket. They're probably just piss off because it's not a road

I reckon thats exactly what it is.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Surprised these whinging merkins haven't threatened to not play the test.

 

[MSIH]

In the fair dinkum department, what made them think it was a good idea to sit and drink on the pitch? Just sit next to it ffs, or on one of the non-test pitches.

 

[redvscotty]

Still an hour and 20 minutes to go.....

it was poor judgement to be caught and filmed on the Indian TV media

its customary for the ground staff to have a drink the night before each test

 

[lockyno1]

The new reports are saying it was on the T20 pitch...NOT the test pitch:lol:

 

[Canard]

It's customary for me to have a wank every morning just after waking up, doesn't mean that it would be considered acceptable behaviour if I was running late and to save time had a quick tug on the tram.

I doubt anyone is upset with the staff having a couple of beers, but why do it even within 50m of the pitch be it the one being played on or an adjacent one?

why not ?

probably well a few newspapers

 

[Hutty1986]

But it's not illegal on a tram, it' just frowned upon

 

[Twizzle]

especially in Victoria, probably wouldn't even raise an eyebrow

Well they've shown in the past that they'll throw their toys out of the pram.

How about we refuse to play on their roads in return?
