Broad cops up a bit of trouble.

[vic_orthdox]

His rather insincere apology was what came across worst to me. Was as though he's hit the batsman from point when he's trying to hit the stumps at the bowler's end, and it was all just an accident and he wasn't doing anything wrong.

Definitely deserves a game or two

 

[honestbharani]

Will the idiot never be punished?

If a Pakistani bowler would've done this,they would've definitely be banned for atleast 2 to 3 games.Tell me,what else double standards are?

So where's the fuss over this:

Asif's throw went well over the batsman's head now unlike Broad's which actually hit the batsman.

Haider should have hammered it out of the park and should have claimed six runs

Abuse

About time Broad was done,could and should have been a harsher punishment though as he has got away with too many incidents.

 

[Burgey]

Just saw this on the news.

WAC.

Atleast Harbhajan, Sreesanth, Nel, Symonds etc. can be funny. Broad is just a ****, thats all.

 

[pasag]

How was he not banned?

First time he has been called for anything i guess so just gets the fine.Does seem strange he hasn't been.

Yeah, it's rare a player gets done on their first offence iirc.

 

[Son Of Coco]

In breaking news - Broad's a ****.

Goes part way to justifying Australian claims that he has one too.

Love Broad. Should be banned/fined though, regardless of it being his first offence of 'malice'.

The comments under that article are disgraceful. The racism and claiming of victimisation in cricket is killing off my passion for the sport very quickly.

EDIT: Haha.

 

[honestbharani]

can u link me to that.. I m on mobile and hard to browse through the pages of a thread.

 

[Nate]

The article and comments can be found here.

Should have been banned.

Threw it straight at Haider in frustration and there was no way he could have got out of the way.
Could have seriously injured his ribs or his wrists too.

Been a pet peeve of mine for a long time now.

Seriously??...its the same to hit the batsman and hurling the ball over his head...that's the same thing for you??

Anyway...Broad did end up apologizing right at the spot...so i don't think things need to be taken too far....

As a bowler i know you feel a bit irritated and you end up doing dumb things...

The only difference between the 2 was that Colly managed to dodge out of the way,so don't give me this one went over his head business business,the intent of both bowlers was exactly the same.Broad should get fined but there is no excuse no treating both situations the same.
