Vaughan: Fredalo ruined the world cup

[howardj]

Weird comments from Vaughan. Team harmony comes first. Has Ashes 2005 gone to his head?

Graeme Smith, South Africa's captain, feels that left-arm spinner Monty Panesar will face an "unbelievable amount of abuse" - some of it racist - from the vociferous Australian crowds as England defend the Ashes over the next two months.

"He is going to cop an unbelievable amount of abuse. I sincerely hope for everyone's sake, but especially his, that it isn't of a racist nature, but our own experience obviously leaves us with doubts."

Total **** for those comments. I suppose the massive cheer that rang out when Monty bowled for the first time at the MCG was racist abuse then, huh.

Ah, yes, remember those now. There were plenty of Aussies that were less than happy with them at the place I was hanging-out at the time, too.

Was this another website? Did you betray CW?

 

[Richard]

A blog - so sort of.

TBH, though, I'm pretty sure that sort of whetted my appetite, and inspired me to return to CW, along with one other thing that shall remain nameless.

 

[GIMH]

Now, why did you go and say that?

You've made me curious. What was it? Tell tell tell

 

[Richard]

Uh uh. No chance. I'd be laughed off the boards, TBH.

I really wanna kill Vaughan right now. His ego has to be the biggest on the planet! There were six players drinking that night, why do he have to blame Freddie? He should have left the past where it belongs.. but noooo.. I hope Freddie kicks his ass

You're having a laugh, right?

 

[GIMH]

Uh uh. No chance. I'd be laughed off the boards, TBH.

just tell us

 

[Richard]

Might - and that's only a might - tell you on MSN sometime. But there are far, far too many who'd laugh for the rest of my CW time.

You could leave instantly after you tell us.
