Switchblade Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Quote https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/no-sympathy-for-rude-australians-from-moeen-ali/story-WvY75r1zGTjpyKuvHL3hzM.html England all-rounder Moeen Ali has no sympathy for Australia’s banned cricketers and finds the whole team “rude”, British media reported. Australian cricket was thrown into turmoil earlier this year when captain Steve Smith, vice-captain David Warner and batsman Cameron Bancroft were banned after a ball-tampering scandal during a test in South Africa. Much of the cricketing world reacted with a mix of anger and schadenfreude, with media pundits and former players suggesting Australia had brought themselves undone with the aggressive way they played the game. “Everyone you speak to ... they are the only team I’ve played against my whole life that I’ve actually disliked,” Moeen told The Times newspaper. “Not because its Australia and they are the old enemy but because of the way they carry on and (their) disrespect of people and players.” Moeen, who had a terrible 2017/18 Ashes in Australia but returned to form to help England beat India 4-1 in the recent test series, said he felt no sympathy for Smith, Warner and Bancroft. “I’m someone who generally feels sorry for people when things go wrong but its difficult to feel sorry for them,” he said. “The first game I ever played against them, in Sydney, just before the 2015 World Cup, they were not just going hard at you, they were almost abusing you. “That was the first time it hit me. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but the more I played against them they were just as bad, the Ashes here (in 2015) they were worse, actually. “Not intimidating, just rude.” Australia’s series against South Africa was also blighted with heated moments between the players, with one altercation between Warner and Proteas wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock spilling over off the field. The ball-tampering scandal was also seen as a watershed for the sport in Australia, however, with national governing body Cricket Australia announcing a root-and-branch review and ordering a charter governing player behaviour. Tim Paine, who replaced Smith as test captain, said the furore had been cathartic and would allow them to change their approach and team culture. Paine, however, added it would not diminish their desire to play the game hard. New coach Justin Langer, who leads the team on his first test tour later this month against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates, also said he felt there was a place for for on-field banter, or sledging. “We’ve always played hard, some of the best banter is amongst each other to try to get the opposition thinking of other things,” he said in May. “I think we modify our behaviours a bit so it’s not angry, or over-aggressive, but it’s aggressive in the mindset we play with the bat and ball.” Link to comment

Vilander Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 it cant be that bad.. Aus has its values...spices things up. Moeen is probably building form his own experience. Link to comment
Khota Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Australians are bullies. When someone challenges them then they start defining these imaginary boundaries that have been crossed. Moeen is right. philcric, nevada, Stan AF and 5 others 2 1 5 Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Moin is right . ...... Aussies crosses all the limits...... some antics of players like Warner resembles mad stray dogs. They get too personnel at times. Even their crowds try to mentally break down opposition players along with their media. philcric, saik and nevada 3 Link to comment

Lol That's funny. That’s so lame and so white trash! Actually some of the Aussie players are textbook bullies: push people around especially the weak, but as soon as you fight back, they turn into snowflakes! Warner is worst example. Remember when was making fun of DeKock, abusing his last name and then got all hot and bothered when DeKock said something about his wife. When you make personal abuse, your entire phucking family is open for abuse back ... ausshole! Another example was McGrath, getting all worked up when Sarwan made a reference to his wife. That’s what you get when you ask how Lara’s penis tastes like. The fact that his wife was a cancer victim became irrelevant at that moment. Don’t abuse people personally and then not expect that you won’t receive it!! Edited September 17, 2018 by dandaroy nevada, GoldenSun, philcric and 9 others 1 2 9 Link to comment

WeStMiDz Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Disgusting slur from the Aussies but no surprise. Despite the fact that Moeen whoops our ass time and again, he is a top lad who never complains about being (often harshly) dropped and just gets on with it and works harder to come back. nevada and GoldenSun 1 1 Link to comment

mishra Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Moein bhai , You are British, accept it. Take whaevever those aussholes have to say personally. Dont put ethinic and Pakistani mumbo jumbo angle. Next time, they will call you a cabbie. Ashes means to them. Hook or Crook. A analogy, when Bopara was doing so well, against India(cT Finals), it was only and only British Indians abusing him. Whole stadium of Indians abusing Bopara, just so that India can win.
