Johnson gets verbal, physical & PWN'd BIGTIME ( Video: Post 115 )

[achilles]

@ Bradman99- When Australia does it, it is competitive cricket. But when India or Pakistan does it, it is not? Half the things Sreesanth has been fined for has been 1/4 of what Aussies do and get away with. Physical intimidation is just not on. If you think it is "competitive cricket", you should well take opinions here in your stride and move on.

[flamy]

Agree. Much ado about nothing.

We were waiting for you wonly

^ Flamy... why does Sree always swim against the tide?

@ Bradman99- you are heavily biased. When Australia does it, it is competitive cricket. But when India or Pakistan does it, it is not? Half the things Sreesanth has been fined for has be 1/4 of what Aussies do and get away with. Don't kid yourself. Physical intimidation is just not on. If you think it is competitive cricket, you should well quit this site and leave coz you'll hardly find any takers for your theory here.

I've never commented on an incident of an Indian and described it as unsportsmanship. You summed yourself up in that first sentence, just swapped Australia with India. Where did I say it wasn't ? Physical intimidation, please... I don't think Stryis was physically intimidated, it's just a bit of banter, things happen in the heat of the game. And pfft who quits a site because people don't agree with them, i don't give a crap if people don't agree with me

because they all suck ' date=' all Aussies suck , even u suck ///:finger:[/quote'] Daisy does not suck :hitler:

@Bradman99- Good to see you took his in your stride coz I edited the "quit the site" part assuming you would be pretty nerved by it.

[Riley's Girl]

You won't hear me saying that about it. And what are you talking about, read all the posts in this thread, they hate him.

Assuming you mean Mitch, I don't :icflove:

Me neither. Just pissed.

If he does' date=' you may as well just wipe off the competitive nature of cricket.[/quote'] Mate, you and I are on the same page here. I too love the competitive edge in my cricket, but is it not unfair that other teams get fined and reprimanded for doing the same? That's where the chilli comes from :winky: So, yeah Bhajji and Sreesanth FTW :isalute:

[Bradman99]

I just hate it how all cricketers have to be goody tooshoos for other fans to like them. Players with a bit of fire and passion in there belly are good for the game. Would be boring if everyone were robots.

Yeah, that is unfair. But what can Australian players do about that? It's not their fault

:icflove: Why are some of the posters so angry with Bradman ,,, he doesnt play for Aus .. nor has he ever criticized Indian players :hysterical::hysterical: Token Aussie in trouble :giggle:

[achilles]

@bradman99... As for the other part of your statement, well, I mark this post for a rainy day. And banter... well, you and I know what "banter" like this leads to for the subcontinent players. Ask Shahid & Gambhir among many others. Actually, you know the answer yourself. You are in a difficult situation and I don't blame you for stating all you are atm.

When was the last time you saw Mark Taylor, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble, Murali, Srinath running their mouth? Does that mean they don't have fire and passion?

he likes the shimit hitting him on the face :dontknow:

[Karan114]

Not the best example, dude, Afridi is one of the biggest cheaters and worst behaved cricketers in the world. He deserves all the scorn he gets and worse. Otherwise the point about subcontinental, especially Indian players getting harshly treated compared to Aussies, stands.

[Bradman99]

Well obviously that type of banter is not appropriate, that's when it crosses the line but that doesn't mean all banter needs to be eliminated. No, i'm not in a difficult situation actually.

Johno is weak. He needs to be taken care of by the opposition and umps:mama:
