It's a bit of a joke that Roy didn't get a ban. You can't stand at the wicket and shout 'f**king embarrassment' at an umpire regardless of the decision. Especially given the game wasn't even close to being tight, so he can't use the excuse that the tension of the moment got to him.

Really you want to ban a player from a final for saying it’s a f**king embarrassment that an umpire was bullied in to a call by the Aussie players in a semi?
Next you will be telling me Steve Smith was hard done by.

He shouldn't have done it... are you really trying to justify it?

No he shouldn’t but I am going to say a ban isn’t a fitting punishment. He got fined the ref was piss weak nobody died.
Is there not a rule for trying for trying to con the umpire? How many games are we banning the Ozzie’s for?

The rest of the tournament should be about right. A 12 month suspension would be OTT.

2 point penalty is fair but he is treading a very fine line

Why do it in the first place? You’ve won the game!

Yeah, I do. What kind of total f**kwit thinks it's acceptable to behave that way towards an umpire?

f**king Poms. You're all about the spirit of the game, and behaving like gentlemen. Until it's one of your own, then it's fine.

But he’s not one of our own remember?

I’m not saying it’s acceptable, I’m saying the punishment fits the offence. Had he not been 100% correct in what he said I don’t doubt they would have banned him.

So how many games are we giving the Aussie players for not playing in the spirit of the game and conning the umpire?

Apparently it's fine to carry on like a complete and utter f**khead if you're upset with an umpire and trying to get into a World Cup final, and are English via South Africa.

I'd say if it wasn't a final he'd be having a rest.

Dharmaseena should also be having a rest .

Maybe about 40 years

Roy should be banned 100%

That's about as obvious and blatant as dissent gets tbh. If it was Little Davey Warner(tm) the English would have him hanging in the Tower of London

Can we just do it anyway?
