Third Test - Australia vs. West Indies

[The Colonel]

5/96 Sarwan out lbw to Lee...... sounds like Bowden gave the Aussies one.

 

[willvillain]

Another really questionable decision from Bowden, Lee gets another LBW from a ball swinging a fair bit too much... Sarwan, gone...

 

[aussies1st]

Its called the Billy rule. Plum in front is not out, anything down leg side is out

The Great Man gets the selective walker

Great man?? McGrath going well is he?

Great man?? McGrath going well is he?

Nup, Warney is! And that is 81 wickets for the year!

 

[aussies1st]

There are 3 great men playing

 

[willvillain]

JJ's got your there El-D. You of all people should understand that you'll have to specify which great Australian you're talking about, there's a whole team of them out there man!

Warne = great bowler and great cricketer...

But the antithesis of a "great man"

How do you account for Symmonds?

 

[El Diablo]

How do you account for Symmonds?

he's a Queenslander

 

[willvillain]

He was born in England, I'm talking about the great Australians.

[Although, he's a super Aussie in the short game!]

 

[lockyno1]

he's a Queenslander

Yep and a champion in my books! Plus even his rubbish batting still scored more than Clarke and Katich scored in their last 2 digs!

ABC Radio is of the opinion that Lee could be in trouble for not at least asking Billy about whether it was out - apparently he just ran straight to Gilchrist in celebration when the ball struck the pads.

Personally, that type of behaviour, where the players don't even acknowledge the umpire, just pisses me off.

I suggest you check that

 

[lockyno1]

You should ask the umpire but it is just a minor thing really. Every test bowler does it at some point in their career so as long as Lee apologises for it there should be no dramas.

he did turn around and ask the question

just took his time after charging down

 

[choc_soldier]

Ah, OK.

 

[lockyno1]

I suggest you check that

Katich- 0,1,0
Clarke, 5,5

So Clarke's 2 innings equal Symonds' efforts and Symonds has bowled well keeping it tight and he picked up a key wicket in Chanderpaul in the 1st innings. I am not saying he should be the all-rounder, Watson will but he is not as bad as some of you put him out to be at test level!

I've said that numerous times before, the arrogance of the Aussies in the way they often celebrate without acknowledging or asking the umpire (Lee, McGrath, Gillespie and Warne are all guilty) should be dealt with...
