bharat297 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 you've lost it along with gavs. that was no sendoff No it wasnt a send-off but Zaheer Khan was charged with conduct contrary to thte spirit of the game. Explain to me how Shane Watson's conduct was within the spirit of the game, yet Zaheers wasnt. Link to comment
vroomfondel Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 so that means if someone says faaak you!!! it is ok....and :finger: is bad?...:ohmy: take your india-blinkers off for a second. watson muttered something almost under his breath. many many indian bowlers have done that. and that's totally fine. getting in the face of a batsman and giving him lip every second ball is not ok. elbowing someone is not ok. obstructing a run is not ok. running in from wherever the hell zaheer ran in to do cartwheels around hayden is embarassing (and you guessed it, not ok). katich was as guilty if not more...he should have had a level 2. instead of talking about that, gavaskar stuck his head up his ass.

bharat297 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 oh yeah of course ... coz the aussies are angels that couldnt possibly instigate anything. they always play the game in "the spirit of the game". obBs18z9BuI I think its pretty obvious there that Watson was not just muttering something under his breath. He clearly made an effort to get in Gambhirs face during his run, just like Zaheer made an effort to get in Haydens face after he got out. If you cant see that then you truly are the definition of a biased Aussie supporter. Its not us that have the blinkers. By the way , exaggerating the Zaheer Khan incident by saying he did cartwheels provides no strength to your argument and just shows that purely based on the facts you cant find much of a difference between the 2 incidents other than the fact that Zaheer ran in from somewhere, and you need to exaggerate the Zaheer incident to make it seem worse.

vroomfondel Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 uh, brah...I and everyone else are talking about watson's reaction after dismissing gambhir. that's what gavaskar took an exception to -- which is think is contrived bull. Link to comment
bharat297 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Oh crap ... sorry then ... oh yeah that ... i wouldnt call it a send-off ... it wasnt very sportsmanly but I reckon his actions yesterday were worse. Link to comment
bharat297 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hey vroomfondel ... do you think Shane Watson deserves to cop a hefty fine for his actions yesterday? Given the precedent that was set by the Zaheer -Hayden incident. Link to comment
vroomfondel Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 i think both gambhir and watson should be let off with a warning. and katich should be fined 50% Link to comment
bharat297 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Fair enough. Again apologies for the misunderstanding above. Link to comment
Shane Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I just he doesnt get a ban !!! A fine will do ! Watson as the provocator should get a fine too ! Link to comment
TaNk Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Australians unhappy with soft charge over Gambhir The Australian team is unhappy with the charge laid on Indian opener Gautam Gambhir by the International Cricket Council (ICC) after the batsman's mid-pitch collision with all-rounder Shane Watson during the third Test match at the Ferozeshah Kotla here. During the opening day's play, while taking a run Watson hurled some abuses against Gambhir, who stuck out his elbow that hit Watson. Gambhir has been charged under clause C1 Level 2 of the ICC's Code of Conduct, which states that players 'shall at all times conduct play within the spirit of the game as well as within the Laws of Cricket'. Watson has been charged under the same clause, C1, but as a Level 1 offence. But the Australian team is aggrieved that Match Referee Chris Broad didn't invoke the Level 2.4 on Gambhir, which deals with 'inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between players in the course of play,' Sydney Morning Herald reported. Gambhir, on his part, had clarified Wednesday that the collision was just an accident. 'It wasn't deliberate, it just happened. I don't think I need to get into this argument about Watson. I feel that he had no options of getting me out. There was no chance he could have got me out. There wasn't a need for me to stick my elbow out. It was an accident,' Gambhir said. The Delhi opener, who had another run-in with Somin Katich, accused the Australian team of applying pressure tactics to get his wicket. 'It's part of the game. They were really desperate to get me out because of the way I was batting. They were trying to break my concentration. The important thing was to just be there, be there in their eyes and not back out,' he added. Cricket Australia operations manager Michael Brown denied that they had attempted to have Gambhir's charge upgraded, saying it was a matter for the ICC. Last year, Gambhir was accused of a similar incident with Pakistani all rounder Shahid Afridi. Both players claimed the contact was accidental but both were fined after then ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed used his powers to lay the charge. Link to comment
TaNk Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Level 2 means 1 test ban or 1 Test & 2 ODI ... what about katich .. why didn't he got charged .. Sunny was right last night, match referee always see sub-cont players doing stuff not english players Link to comment
fineleg Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Level 2 means 1 test ban or 1 Test & 2 ODI ... what about katich .. why didn't he got charged .. Sunny was right last night' date=' match referee always see sub-cont players doing stuff not english players and that includes sub-cont referee Ranjan Madagulle at times! Weird. Even Madagulle has adjudicated in favor of englishmen. Link to comment

How pathetic is that, neither of the players have a problem and are over it yet the ICC decides to charge them If this was England and Australia, ICC would be applauding them on great spirit or some other cr@p Total BS Link to comment
umpire Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 why was Watson not charged for send off? He did mouth off some ***** when he got Gambhir. Link to comment
Predator_05 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 why was Watson not charged for send off? He did mouth off some ***** when he got Gambhir. Fined 10% of his match fee. As opposed to Zaheer Khan, who was fined 80% of his match fee even though he did pretty much the same thing Watson did. Gambhir has pleaded guilty, so i expect him to be fined 100% of his match fee and be given a ban for the 4th test. Link to comment
