Off Topic The Ashes

They sledged about bairstows Dad!!! If true he should have just twatted them with his bat. Disgraceful.

 

As TT replied.

 

It should give any opponents of the convicts plenty of ammunition to give them more than their fair share of sledging back.

 

This Aussie team are horrid bunch.

I remember Clarke threatening to break Jimmy's arm. I'd of wrapped my bat around his head.

 

I am really looking forward to being sat on the western terrace next summer. The Aussie squad have proved they can't take it...Warner in South Africa has shown he can't take what he dishes out, just hope his wife stays away from Leeds, and the Rugby players.

 

If there is a more detestable team in world sport I couldn’t name them.

This Australian team are a ****ing disgrace. Sneering, pathetic bully boys who cry like girls when they get a bit back.

Smith’s reaction when the SA lad brushed by him being a prime example and now this.

A bunch of absolute ****s.

 

The Australian Cricket public is in uproar. Everyone involved in this bloody disgraceful ball tampering episode should be sacked, and if James Sutherland doesn’t do it he should go as well

 

This is what the Australian press reaction is, and an article that is absolutely spot on. Well worth read .

Good read

 

1 match ban - a weeks wages loss.

Nothing to see here... Move on please.

 

It's difficult to quantify what might be a similar standard of cheating in football, as ball tampering would be futile - the same for both sides.

Maybe making one goal slightly smaller then swopping them at half time?

 

The nearest I can think of is bloodgate in Rugby Union, when that player bit a blood capsule to allow a player that had gone off to come back on.

Though as OLM says the Aussie public are going ape **** over this, as it goes against the grain of what they profess to be all about, tough but play fair.

 

I think people are being a bit harsh on them. They can’t help it, breaking the laws is in their blood.

 

Just been reading up on it all.
Cheating like this.
Abusing bairstow about his dad.
The barmy army singing songs about warners mrs.

Nah it's not cricket. Or any other sport.

 

I despise Warner but even I fear for the amount he’ll cop during the next Ashes here.

Especially at Headingly, it will be absolutely brutal. I dread to think what some of the stuff The Western Tarrace will be singing at him.

If he thought De Kock’s comment about his wife was unnacceptable he’s not going to like it when there’s ten thousand pissed up Englishman singing about her.

And I dare say what they’re singing will make De Kock’s comment appear quite gentlemanly.

What goes around does indeed come around.

 

Putting cling-film over your own goal mouth then swapping it over at half-time.

Bit like that trick we all used to do at a mates house party with the bog.

 

Call me sceptical, but I’ve got a hunch he might not field in front of said terrace.

He’ll still hear us though.

 

Imagine what it will be like when he comes out to bat!!

 

Bringing his mrs into it. Is a poor show imho.
