Aussie Fans misbehave again with Murali

[Langeveldt]

The tone of some of the posters suggested an overwhelming "defending the egg throwers phenomenon" hidden and wrapped under some corporate bull **** !
I have already said that in another post that no matter how many medical tests Murali will undergo ,His image will remain as a chuker in some minds . It's not about the medical science or logic or sense. Thats what one should be expecting because humans are not the same . And these few dirty eggs don't represent the face of the society as a whole .
I have no problem with this egg throwing incident because thats what I expect from people coming from some 2 $ 30 cents worth families . They all are not like each other and there are some who might be interested in cricket and some who might be able to write trash in defense of those egg throwers on the forums and there will be some who will get over it and will sit back and enjoy the game .

haha! you rule

There's not much discussion to be had really. There is no excuse for throwing eggs at anyone, that's why most of the replies have been tongue-in-cheek.

There's tongue-in-cheek, and there's tongue-in-beak...

The love affair between Muttiah Muralitharan and the great Australian public continues, with international cricket's first 'drive-by egging'. Sri Lanka's manager, Shriyan Samararatne, takes up the story: "Murali and a few other members of the party were walking back from a restaurant to the team hotel when they were shelled from a black car.

"I don't know eggsactly what happened, but the players are not going to be beaten by this kind of nonsense. As the first egg broke, the players scrambled into the hotel foyer and were quickly whisked away. There were no witnesses, so I'm a fried that no action can be taken at this time, but don't think omeletting it go. And there is no truth in the rumour that Murali was pickled."

Poor behaviour, and nothing to do with Murali or his bowling action as some idiot trying to make stupid jokes at the beginning of this thread tries to suggest...

"Sense of humour to aisle 3 please....sense of humour, aisle 3"

 

[Son Of Coco]

Wouldn't matter, they were severely inbread as in Tasmania and in South Island of NZ ...

Just like Inbread Sheep....(and possibly some of the other South Island life...)

French toast?

Not eggsactly the brightest people on Earth, whoever they are.

I mean, what kind of a sick yolk is that?

You're a good egg.

Just the usual media eggsaggeration, have come to expect it really.

Poor form from whichever tool threw it tho. Did Murali launch the "Prescott defence"?

Must say the reaction from Prescott was pretty quick for a man his size.

 

[Slow Love™]

Haha, I remember that Prescott incident, got a fair bit of coverage here in Oz. Even though he was a fat pollie, most people wished he'd beaten the crap out of that red-faced ****. Unfortunately he was gotten the better of after a few seconds, and security had to intervene. Fully appropriate response though, IMO.

Wasn't there some incident concerning a Canadian PM or opposition leader a few years earlier that was similar? Might not have involved an egg as the catalyst though, so I might be drifting off-topic.

ummm, EVERYONE who's posted has started by saying "what morons, there's no excuse for doing that".

Way to blow **** out of propotion.

God the media is a joke

An egg from a fast moving car which doesnt even hit Murali is suddenly used to bring out the old chestnut

Basically, a group of bogan two-heads had nothing better to do than throw eggs at innocent non-whites

By all means, kick the ****e out of them for being what they are but to bring the whole Murali thing up again is shameless

They've been cleared by a WA university. Their egg throwing actions are within the legal limits.

Oh, I dunno, there's the odd decent enough egg in the media, though plenty of them do chicken-out of saying the right things in favour of what their audihence wants.

I dunno what the fuss is about. SL would be better off with a battery of pace bowlers. If they then kept things tight, it would give their batsmen free range to express themselves.

 

[Richard]

Nah, all-seam would end-up with SL having egg on their faces, I reckon - even half-a-dozen of them wouldn't match Murali. If they want to poach this CB Series he'll have to perform wonders. It'd be scrambled brains to go in without him.

 

[Dusty Lee]

I'm not a fan of Murali's bowling, mainly because the rules were changed to keep him in the game but there is no way I can condone this sort of behavior by Aussie fans. I think people should think how they would like our cricketers treated overseas. I recently saw the episode of "Aussie goes Bolle" and what the crowd in Mumbai did to Symonds and the Aussies with there chants and abuses, and I was disgusted. Now we have Aussies doing practically the same thing to visiting cricketers. Its just not good enough, some people need to take a good look at themselves and grow up. If there is ever a time for the the term "It's UNAUSTRALIAN" this is it.

[Matt79]

Absolutely irrelevant as to whether he approves of an egg being thrown at him - which he then goes onto say that he does not.

What's your problem? That some people don't like Murali or think that he throws it? That's a totally different question than "is it ok to throw eggs at people".
