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

[achilles]

I also doubt mr achilles would start calling one of his players what he is calling Johnson.

I praise the Pakis when some people on this forum dislikes it when I do it. Is that an eg enough? :hatsoff: Look, I'm balanced in my opinions. I don't really care if that means I'm going against India or supporting Pakistan or siding with Zimbabwe while Bangladesh gets pwned by a ball-tampering England. I'll state it as I see it. And everyone here respects me for that. I'm not a blind patriot like yourself. I have the guts to say my player was wrong when he is. It never hurts to say "I'm Sorry". But it hurts, when, despite saying it, you do the same thing every few months. Johnson pleads guilty coz he knows he won't get banned and he repeats similar offences, only to plead guilty again and escape bans again. Its laughable!

Bradman99 - tell me something. How is the reaction to this back home? Michael Jeh had written that this was pushed to a small section off the sports page and the sentence describing this event started with 'talkative Styris'. What is the general reaction of the Australian fans on this incident? Is anybody critical of this at all? I am curious.

To be honest I couldn't tell you really because I haven't read the paper for a while. I guess not much has been made of it though because I haven't heard much about it on the telly

I state it as I see it as well. If this was an Indian player I would have had the same view, I don't see much in it. Maybe I should take back my comments I said about if he was banned you should take away the competitive nature of the game, that was a bit of a silly comment. But, I still don't think what he did was worthy of a ban and I keep it that way, when NZ vs Aus take on each other it is very passionate, that's why players do stuff they may not normally do. And I disagree with you that I have a one sided view, my comments are fair and I call it as I see it. PS: Even though I disagree largely with the majority of your comments, at least you keep it entertaining. I don't want to make things personal or anything, but it is clear through your posts that your hatred for Australia makes you see situations involving them in a darker light then you would otherwise.

Ditto with Indo-Pak encounters. But don't they get taken to task? The crux of every post I've made in this thread is this- "Treat every moron with the same level authority. No need to distinguish between them".

I don't hate Australia. I hate THE THINKING OF SOME Australians. 2. Australia has great people. I salute the people who came onto the streets for Dr.Haneef, when they didn't even know him and when he wasn't even an Aussie national. 3. I hate the superiority complex and arrogance which comes off your boys' demeanour, which is something everyone in Asia will agree to coz we don't walk onto the ground thinking "we can do whatever we want to and we should get away with it coz we are from blah blah country". 4. I would appreciate if we don't get personal. A forum is a place to have fun and a place where you can agree to disagree and yet, enjoy your time. Your abusing me a page back was absolutely uncalled for.

my comments are fair and I call it as I see it.

So lets end it here. :icflove:

Fair enough, we'll leave it there.

Australian players are idiots: Reid Former New Zealand captain John Reid feels some members of the Australian cricket team are "idiots" who need to be reined in. More... Monday 8th March 2010 Reid terms Aussie players 'idiots' Former New Zealand captain John Reid feels some members of the Australian team are "idiots" who need to be reined in. Reid's comments, also a former ICC match referee, came after Australian paceman Mitchell Johnson head-butted Scott Styris in a show of aggression during the first one-dayer in Napier. "Generally the Australian team looks good, but there are a handful of idiots who need to be reined in," Reid was quoted as saying in 'The Age'. "Do your work with the bat and the ball, not your mouth." While some praised Johnson for sparking life into the series, Reid said the aggression displayed by the pacer was "not required". Australia are playing a five-match ODI series against New Zealand. Series is levelled at 1-1. Reid said players need to understand the importance of playing the game in good spirit. "Like it or not, these guys are role models for youngsters. Johnson was the aggressor, but he's mad head-butting someone with a helmet on." Reid claimed that in his time refereeing, Australian players were "always the worst at sledging". "I dealt with barging by Glenn McGrath, bowlers standing in the way of a runner - like Johnson did to Styris," he said. ICC match referee Ranjan Madugalle slapped Johnson and Styris with fines rather than suspensions for their showdown in the series opener at Napier but Reid felt the punishment could have been stricter. "I think he (Madugalle) did a reasonable job but, if anything, he could have come down a bit tougher."
