I'm surprised at the hostility, none of you ever fish?
so you're being the good samaritan by saving them from a slow, tortuous death by starvation....that's a good one...

I obviously didn't report the post btw, but your hatred towards cats disgusts me. Fair enough not liking them, but wanting to hunt them? Disturbing, you're like those people here in Aus who were burning them alive and whipping them into brick walls holding their tails.

Should be shot IMO.

Hey, no one said anything about torturing them! That arrow would be quick. It travels like 300 ft/sec. The cat wouldn't know what hit it.

Must say I have lost respect for Sachin given his comments. He always seemed intelligent and well spoken, yet with this he's basically said "I didn't see it but I'll abuse Australia anyway". Stupid thing to say Sachin.

What Ponting did was stupid and unnessecary, he should've apologised and did so.

Marto did nothing wrong. The Indian bloke was standing right in the middle of the photos and didn't look like moving. If you believe the Indian media you'd think Marto pushed him over, jumped on him and beat him over the head with a bat singing "We Are the Champions". But all he did was put his hand on his back and direct him to the way off the stage. No malice intended, no harm done.

I never said I believed the Indian media. Do you think that was rude or no? I mean Pawar is years older than you. You could have asked him instead you know. What Martyn did wasnt any better than Sachin, then why just lose respect for Sachin and not Martyn?

What Ponting did was rude, yes.

It was a loud stadium, Pawar may not have heard Martyn. All it was was a hand on his back guiding him, no push, no shove.

I lost respect for Sachin because he commented on an issue he himself admitted he hadn't seen. He shouldn't be commenting on things and saying he's "upset" with us over something he hadn't seen.

He went from what he heard, and it's not like he is the only person in the world who goes on what they heard. And I'm sure he saw it after he made his comments, but he still did not change his comments. So that means he was truely upset by what happen, otherwise he would have changed it after he saw it

And as far as the stadium being too loud, I saw the event take place atleast 30 times now, and not once did I see an attempt from Martyn to move his lips and and ask Pawar.

I'm not disagreeing with you that it's not a big matter, but I'm just interested in how you only lost respect for Sachin and not Martyn.

They'd just won the championship, Pawar was right in the middle of the photographs and did not look like moving at all. Asking him would've taken more time, when we just wanted to get the photos taken and end the farce of a ceremony. It was a hand on his back guiding him, absolutely nothing wrong with that.

That was not the point of this whole thing, the point was that he is older than you and you shouldn't even put your hand on his back and show him the way as it disrespectful in India. Thats why this whole thing started.

What was Martyn supposed to do? Bow down and beg him to move? We wanted it over quickly and that was a quick, harmless way of telling him that he was in the way.

Ask him. He was standing hardly 5 feet away from him.
