Jones undies for one, did you see his face when he crapped himself as Hayden turned around.Pratyush said:But the incident brought out the change in the English team more than many others.
Pratyush said:On this specific scenario, every one acted as a team. Collingwood came in, Flintoff came in.
Hayden couldn't even take Flintoff. Flintoff used to box until he was 16, plus he's bigger than Hayden.age_master said:and Hayden could take all of them
An unfortunate incident, and yes, Simon Jones really did look a little worried, to say the least - or maybe he wondered about the consequences of his action. After all, he got into huge amounts of hot water in the West Indies for giving batsmen momentous 'send-offs'.Scallywag said:Jones undies for one, did you see his face when he crapped himself as Hayden turned around.
I don't think it was unwarranted and he immediately apologised - it was an unfortunate bounce up onto Hayden, there was no intent to hit him, because there's no way Jones could've predicted that bounce.Pratyush said:The throw by Jones was unwarranted and not to be condoned by any means ofcourse and the sky commentators saying it was involuntary were speaking hogwash according to me.
Honestly though, I'm not sure hitting them with the ball is the way England want to be getting under the Australian's skin. I mean, anybody is liable to get worked up if you chuck the ball at them and hit them in the head, but it's not like Hayden was shaken up by a good bouncer or being dismissed or something like that.luckyeddie said:Personally, I thought that Hayden's reaction was yet another example of how England are getting under the skin of some of these Aussies - and long may that at least continue.
I don't think Jones meant to hit him, but the throw was obviously pointless and unwarranted. Hayden had his back half-turned and was already well within the crease. There was no possible intent from Jones except to shake the batsman up by throwing it back to the keeper and trying to intimidate him or whatever, and Hayden had every right to get upset with him given that it wasn't a legitimate run out attempt anything of the sort.marc71178 said:I don't think it was unwarranted and he immediately apologised - it was an unfortunate bounce up onto Hayden, there was no intent to hit him, because there's no way Jones could've predicted that bounce.
Even without holding a bat, he is still a strong guy (I once heard he bench presses the most kg in the whole Aussie team).deeps said:u gotta be out of ur mind to pick a fight with matty hayden..
especially if he's holding a bat :P
I'm sure that if Jones had 'chucked the ball at him and hit him in the head' Hayden, even allowing for the whingeing Aussie he is, would have had every right to be upset. He didn't - Jones threw the ball at the stumps and it bounced up and hit him on the torso - and not particularly hard either.FaaipDeOiad said:Honestly though, I'm not sure hitting them with the ball is the way England want to be getting under the Australian's skin.

Please. Collingwood would use his speed and amazing agility and Freddie would just squash him...and if that doesn't work we'd just get Simon Jones to throw the ball againage_master said:and Hayden could take all of them
There's no harm in imagining...Entrael said:And also lets not continue on the track of who will smash who in a fight. I've never seen a punch up in a cricket match and im sure there wont be one for a long time.
