    Has more money made the Australian cricketers bogans?

    Same for me. But it's a very accurate portrayal of the type of person we're talking about.

    *Official* West Indies In Australia

    Not talking solely about this specific instance, but rather the disparity between how a comment labelling a team as 'whingers' who are 'soft' would be received if it were made by say, Ricky Ponting, as opposed to Chris Gayle. Would Ricky, or an apologist on his behalf, saying that such comments...

    Has more money made the Australian cricketers bogans?

    Closer to chav than trailer trash I'd say, but with elements of both. Do you get Kath and Kim over there?

    Forgot that Haddin was from Queanbeyan. Bogan.

    Yeah, tongue-in-cheek. But Aussies are being disrespectful when they make similar comments. Double-standard much. I have no issue if he wants to call Watson on being a tool, but don't try and spin it that he's 'just kidding' or whatever.

    Lol at St Kilda. Lovett looking a great investment.

    Aussie team as a whole are a pack of whingers who love to dish it out but get all sooky and/or aggro whenever anyone says anything back. Or words to that effect.

    Gayle having another crack today. When he does get annoyed, he makes a good scene.

    Do New Zealand have the worst luck with fast bowlers?

    So you agree with my point and then call it arrant nonsense without explaining why, or why you're contradicting yourself in the space of one post. Started drinking early? Can't see how you can argue that the loss of a test standard quick is NOT going to hurt more if you don't have similar...

    Good luck with the situation. Hope it all turns out in whatever way is best for you and all involved. If it turns out there's a Mini-Striker on the way, while it will severely disrupt your life, there are great highs to go with it as well, and you'll survive and still enjoy your life.

    Harris vs. Hauritz vs. Swann

    I think the OP wanted to talk non-doosra bowling finger spinners, hence left out Harby deliberately. Lol at the underrating of Hauritz in this thread. Someone said there are three better spinners in Australia - name them please. I'm not saying he's better than Swann or Harris, although I...

    Do New Zealand have the worst luck with fast bowlers?

    Smaller pool to draw players from means that an injury cruelling the career of a world class prospect stands out more and hurts more.

    Surely Daryl Hair needs to be held accountable for this fiasco.

    Please can the ICC ban CSA from world cricket!!

    That's like saying there's a small difference between affirmative action quotas on women in the workplace, and the Taliban's treatment of women. The degree of discrimination does matter, not just the basic fact of its existence.

    Would vote for Carlton being barred from the comp. next year if they can't keep their players in line. :ph34r: Club clearly missing the sensible, moderating leadership of John Elliott... oh right

    Please can the ICC ban CSA from world cricket!!

    They might have seven white players already, but if you're better than one of those white players, you would have a decent shot at being selected. Under apartheid, if you were black you could be better than all the current XI put together and still have no chance of making the team. Even if...
