    Ricky Ponting should be sacked

    Kim Hughes back in the early/mid 1980s would be the last one that I can remember. I'm almost positive that after he quit as captain, he played on under Border for a few tests.

    ***Official Australia in India***

    Hypocrite or not, Chappell's absolutely right.

    Official Ban/Warning/Fine thread

    Heh. The guy crying "racism" at nothing is telling me to dry my eyes? Too funny. See, now I remember why I stopped bothering to come to this place. For every bit of intelligent cricket discussion, there are a dozen f-wits like you who froth at the mouth trying to defend their heroes...

    Official Ban/Warning/Fine thread

    Firstly, rest assured that I am weeping over the fact that some messageboard fanboy is questioning my judgement. I'm truly crushed. No, REALLY. Secondly, I have, in fact, seen the Katich incident. I saw it live, I saw it on a couple of news bulletins, and it was even tacked on to the Youtube...

    Official Ban/Warning/Fine thread

    Definitely. Which is why I said in my first post on the subject that "he was more than likely being a complete pecker in my view". Unfortunately, since the silliness of the last time these two sides met, the standard of proof is, in all practicality, much higher than it has ever been. He did...

    Official Ban/Warning/Fine thread

    Yeah? I would have thought that "guilty" plea might have been reasonably sound evidence. Whenever you have spinners bowling, you ALWAYS have instances of the bowler getting in the way of the batsman (or vice versa) when there might be a quick single on. It is merely incidental contact, and...

    Official Ban/Warning/Fine thread

    Utter crap. Watson's arm was out, but was withdrawn well before Gambhir ran past. Gambhir didn't deviate an inch to "avoid" Watson's arm- nor did he need to. Forward to about 1:30 of the clip and see for yourself... As for Katich, he was more than likely being a complete pecker in my view...

    Procter off ICC Match-Referee panel?

    No way that Sarwan should have faced charges for that. And I can't imagine Sarwan consciously decided that he'd rip on McGrath's wife because she had a potentially fatal disease. The shock on Sarwan's face when McGrath reacted in the manner in which he did demonstrates that. Questioning the...

    Gilchrist calls Tendulkar a "Bad Sport"

    Say what you want about Harbhajan, but through all of his troubles this year, he has certainly retained a fine sense of comedic irony.

    ***Official Australia in India***

    No, as I explained above, it doesn't. It's an opinion piece, not a news report. His article wasn't "Ganguly retires, let's all strap on the knee pads", it was "Ganguly retires, look at what an interesting riddle the guy has been". When you get your head around that fact, the article was...

    ***Official Australia in India***

    Actually, as far as journalistic integrity and ability goes, this far, FAR better than most of the articles on this subject. He could have wasted his time and reefed out essentially the same fellatory fawning as the vast majority of (less creative and original) journos around the world have...

    Bhajji 'slaps' Sreesanth, leaves him cryin

    The sad thing is, the monumental creativity and wit of "ask your mum" actually took you a WEEK to come up with. By the way, I DID ask my mum, and her words were, "microscopic, mounted on your forehead, and usually ensconced in your own hand." Never mind. Please, tell us again how big and...

    Wow. With this much over-compensation your penis must be tiny.

    Hayden calls Harbhajan an obnoxious weed

    Read my original post. "You know, if I was a Sri Lankan player, I would be down on my knees thanking whatever deity that they wish to pray to that I get to fly away and leave this ridiculous series behind them early. Getting away from this nonsense would be a far greater reward than being in...

    Hayden calls Harbhajan an obnoxious weed

    My point is nothing of the sort. Comparing a soldier in battle with a sportsman playing a game is, while admittedly common, nothing more than a hokey cliche used by those without even the slightest sense of perspective. They tried their best to win, and fell short. Nothing wrong with finding...

    Hayden calls Harbhajan an obnoxious weed

    You know, if I was a Sri Lankan player, I would be down on my knees thanking whatever deity that they wish to pray to that I get to fly away and leave this ridiculous series behind them early. Getting away from this nonsense would be a far greater reward than being in the finals.

    Hogg announces his retirement

    I don't think that Hogg's value to the ODI side has ever really been particularly well respected, either by the selectors or Ponting. I don't doubt that he was personally well liked, but the fact is that if you have a wrist spinner with Hogg's record, he should pretty much play on all but the...

    Hayden calls Harbhajan an obnoxious weed

    Sorry, but that's just splitting hairs. It would be like someone trying to defend Lehmann by saying that his intent was just to call the Sri Lankans "c-bombs", and that the word "black" was just a factual descriptor- therefore what he said was offensive, but not racial villification. Any...
