Ok boize (specifically achilles), anymore anti oz or racist comments and I close this thread and hand out infractions to everyone. Please maintain some civility in your discussions. I know its too much to ask of some of you but please do try. Thanks.

****ing hilarious:

Aw, mate. Come on Aleem mate, give me a break. I’m dying over here. Do you know how hard it is, captaining this bunch? Have you any idea what it’s like, having to explain to Mitchell and Sidds that we haven’t got a wicket because of technology? Mitch thinks that a can opener is pretty much designed by NASA. Young Pete here won’t eat out of anything other than a wooden bowl. And you want me to explain to them that your decision is down to inconclusive thermal imaging readings? Mate, I might as well tell them that Santa Claus has hijacked the third umpire’s booth and turned all the machines into toads. I know Santa Claus isn’t a wizard, mate. You know that, I know that. It’s just easier to explain certain things to Mitch in certain ways. But that’s not the issue here, Aleem, mate. Look, we really need something. He definitely hit it. Brad said so. Has Brad ever lied to you in this series? Mate, look at his little face. He’s still recovering from those nasty things Andrew Strauss said to him at Adelaide. Yeah, personal stuff, Aleem. About his appearance. Public schoolboys can be very cutting, mate. Cruel. You know his rabbit died? His beloved pet rabbit? Well, it did, and Brad’s been under a lot of strain – I really worry about how he’s going to take this. For crying out loud, Aleem. Just listen to me. Listen. I’m not shouting mate, I’m honestly not. Okay, okay. I’m not jabbing my finger. That’s just a friendly way to make a point. No, not pointing my finger. A point like an argument. No, not arguing with you mate, I’m just asking if… I’m not shouting, just trying to be clear… I’m just asking if you’re certain that the hotspot you can see on the screen… That screen! That massive screen! Look! Up there! Are you blind, for crying out loud? Okay, I shouldn’t have said that, I’m sorry, just having a bit of laugh between two mates, Aleem, mate, ha ha ha. Look, seriously, Aleem. This technology is a load of bull anyway. Everybody knows that the umpire on the pitch is the main man. These suits, they’re trying to cut you off at the knees mate. That’s why I have always, always respected every decision made by the bloke on the field and accepted it without a murmur. It’s you and me, Aleem. Mate, they want to replace you with a robot and I am not prepared to let that happen. Don’t do it for me mate, do it for unborn future umpires. Do it for cricket. As lip-read by Alan Tyers

BTW it's a good thing that Ponting was not banned. His replacement would have scored some runs. We want Ponting in all the matches in Ashes.

Ponting should have been suspended: Chappell

MELBOURNE: Former captain Ian Chappell feels that current Australian skipper Ricky Ponting should have been suspended instead of just being docked 40 per cent of his match fee for his ugly confrontation with the umpires in the fourth Ashes Test against England on Monday. With his team struggling on the field against England, Ponting had a demonstrative face-to-face argument with Aleem Dar pointing his finger at the Pakistani umpire after Kevin Pietersen was adjudged not to have edged the ball for a caught behind. Ponting then turned his attention to the square leg umpire Tony Hill as a group of Australian players crowded Dar. Video umpire Marais Erasmus gave Pietersen not out after a hot spot replay failed to show an inside edge following a half-hearted appeal referred by wicket-keeper Brad Haddin. Peter Siddle was also involved initially by giving verbal support Ponting but the speedster was lucky to escape sanction. Chappell feels Ponting's behaviour was unacceptable and that he has overstepped the mark. "When I was playing it was quite clear in the laws you could discuss a point of law but you weren't allowed to argue a point of judgement. If I was adjudicating I'd think it was a suspendable offence," Chappell said. "And it's not like it's the first time he (Ponting) has done it. I think the ICC are in part to blame, not for him arguing today, but if you want to stop those sort of things you've got to stop them straight away, the first time it happens," Chappell was quoted as saying by 'The Australian'. Ponting's first captain, Mark Taylor, also believes the Australian captain harmed the standing of himself and his team by arguing with the umpires and Pietersen. "I don't mind a bit of a confrontation between players occasionally. I think that's good for the game, but you have to draw a line (with the umpires)," said Taylor. "It (the referral system) is in place, it's been used, it's given not out. Replays showed he wasn't out. You've just got to get on with the game. The decision came from upstairs. There's no point arguing with the umpires. They're just relaying the message. "You've got to ask yourself what is the point of the conversation because the umpire is not going to reverse his decision, particularly when your mate upstairs has looked at the replay and maybe got it right," said Taylor. Former England captain Tony Greig felt that Ponting was out of order and Siddle should also have been in trouble.

Just replace Ponting with Dhoni and he would have had 3 match ban. Ofcourse Dhoni would not do such thing anyway

Yes. And discussing this on an Aussie board is followed by a conspicuous silence.
