may be you are trundling to post
on a serious note, there is no point in getting worked up. forums are abt opinions .... most of us are champions at not only dishing out insults (if we want to) but also taking them on our stride so such attempts are childish
wanted to ignore your post but thought abt giving a friendly advise as sometimes ppl don't know what they could get into

I see what you're saying. But a match saving innings that lasts for about 4 hours or more from which the total runs accrued is around the 50 mark is imo much more deserving of applause than someone spanking a triple century out of a completely awful bowling attack. Let's compare for instance, Paul Collingwood's innings against Australia in Cardiff in 2009, and Ravi Bopara slapping an awful West Indies attack all over the place at Lords not long before. There's little doubt in my mind that the former innings deserves far more plaudits than the latter, and I doubt you'd find many who would disagree. One should look to the nature and context of the performance, rather than the score itself imo. Besides, if the crowd want to give a standing ovation to a batsman who is walking off, I'm not going to begrudge them lifting their bat to acknowledge their appreciation in return.

In 4 mins, I could think up of at least a few ways to attack my own point .... hopefully, you will agree that one needs to be "quick"

It's a brilliant theory. Bristler and co's big contribution to sports psychology.
I love it how they single out guys for the picioane who are too keen to shake hands at the end of the match.

You people are going off topic, maybe you cannot accept that your overhyped idol was similar to Sreeshant and Nel in his time,
Here are some other great Aussie incidents and facts,
Dennis Lillee using an aluminium bat and acting like an immature teenager when he wasn't allowed to use it, disrespecting his own captain,
Lillee and Rodney Marsh placing bets on England when the bookmakers at the ground were offering odds of 500–1 on an England victory, and Australia went on to loose the match, that matter wasn't taken seriously even though they have openly discussed about it(it would have become a huge issue if there were 2 Asian players involved in such an incident.)
Trevor Chappell bowling underarm to avoid being hit for 6 runs off the last ball,
"it was an act of true cowardice and I consider it appropriate that the Australian team were wearing yellow" - New Zealand Prime Minister Robert Muldoon.
Mark Waugh and Shane Warne taking money from bookmakers for pitch and weather information but the ACB covered up the matter because they both had accused Salim Malik to bribe them to loose and their credibility as witnesses would be damaged. The incident took place in 1994-95, but it was out in the media in late 1998.
Shane Warne charged with bringing the game into disrepute in 1999 for his comments about the Sri Lankan captain Arjuna Ranatunga, this was what he said about him, "There is plenty of animosity between Arjuna and myself. I don't like him and I'm not in a club of one."
Ricky Ponting was involved in a nightclub brawl at Kings Cross for which he received a $5,000 fine, a five match suspension and a black eye.
Ernie Jones- pioneer of chucking.
Talking about Sydney test, I think the Australians should be ashamed of even talking about it, 8 wrong decisions favouring Australia(including 3rd umpire making errors) , but still the Indians went on to complete the game, a captain would have mostly abandoned the match in such a situation because the decisions weren't even close ones , when the third umpire gives a wrong decision then it just becomes too bizzare, on top of it Ponting and Clarke claiming two catches when the ball was clearly hitting the ground, I don't remember a test match where there are 8 wrong decisions given in favour of 1 team.
And the Harbhajan Symonds incident is just blown out of proportion, it was typical Aussie cheating, there was no evidence which would prove that Harbhajan was guilty, they were just targeting him because he was the main Indian bowler and was the main threat for the Aussie batsman.
But there is still no incident that can match Dennis Lillee kicking an opposition batsman and the ACB favouring him.
Described by Wisden as "one of the most undignified incidents in Test history."

Worth noting that Ponting was out celebrating North Melbourne's 1999 Premiership victory when he got in that fight.
