Murali's Ugly Slip Up

[Top_Cat]

I don't think I'm a particularly hot-headed type but if I was Murali and some guy did what the crowd-member did, I would at the very least have made him fearful for his personal well-being.

 

[Jono]

So Murali would have just pretended to bowl at him, hence giving him the evil eyes

 

[Top_Cat]

No-one deserves that.

 

[Dydl]

They had a picture of him bowling?

No, they had a picture of him pointing the "rude" finger at the guy in the crowd..

I think, in fairness, andyc knew that.

 

[Deja moo]

TBH, without inviting further debate on it, I think too much was made of the Chappell issue.

 

[Autobahn]

Should have thrown a brick at him.

I mean it worked for John Snow...

 

[honestbharani]

Those idiots deserved that.


And I think it would be a one off.

 

[sledger]

stupid people thinking murali a chucker....idiots.

I can't believe in 2006 someone blacks up their face to go to a cricket match!! Jesus. I don't think I'm some rampant PC Nazi, but am I the only one to consider that beyond the pale?

Charmless turd was lucky to get away with the bird from Murali. Certain sportsmen take a more proactive approach to dealing with racist divots....

^^^ oh man! who's that guy?

And we all know what a genius Cantona was

 

[JASON]

^^^ oh man! who's that guy?

Of course it is Eric Cantona of Man United !!

Strangely a Great Manchester United legend who played very little for France a bit like Tottenhams legendary Frenchman whose name escapes me.....

certainly more fun for those certain sportsmen

And the reason both of them played so little for France was that no-one loved them other than themselves

Hold on, I can see a new Man U motto in there somewhere

TBH this shocks and appalls me. I thought Murali was bigger than this and a gentleman.

What was his slip up?

 

[Shounak]

What was his slip up?

He flipped the bird..

 

[Mecnun]

Yeah I am utterly shocked, disgusted and appalled. How dare he show the middle finger to a guy who had painted his face black and had no-ball written on his chest. After all the Aussie crowds have been so good to him over the years and this is how he pays them back!!

Murali I am deeply disapointed in you........

I'd say Murali probably won a few Australians over as a result of that action

45 caps between 1987 and 1994. Would have been alot more but for Aimé Jacquet pensioning him, Ginola (the one who's name slipped your mind ) and Jean-Pierre Papin off early (well, early for Cantona and Papin...)
