Height of Irony...


Recommended Posts

Posted

So what do you guys think is the height of irony... 1. Lankans talking about winning away from subcontinent and how to win away from home 2. Aussies preaching about fair play and taking fielders' word for catches 3. Aussies whinging about cheating unsportsmanlike behavior a la "Monkeygate" 4. Ditto Lankans 5. Pakis having "intergrity committee" and holding workshops on security & curbing fixing 6. English teaching how to play spin bowling (wonder what happened to "Merlin" bowling machine which English came up with :giggle:) 7. English on who deserves to be no. 1 in tests and how to win in sub-continent 8. English on how to win a World Cup 9. Ditto Saffers 10. Saffers on how not to choke and mental toughness 11. Aussie media & commies on being fair and neutral 12. Pakis claiming "Tests is real cricket" 13. Lankans and Pakis calling bowler from another team a chucker 14. Indians commenting on fast bowling 15. Indians and Pakis slating a team for poor fielding

i was going to ask to add indian irony one would be getting on wrong side of decisions which could ve easily been corrected with drs :wall: but most of things are funny :D maybe chit chat section worthy but nice thread ;P

This is a pure retarded pick. First of all what was Dennis Lillee doing chatting/speaking/yapping with Sunny Gavaskar?? Lillee's job was done the moment he delivered the ball. He appealed, umpired gave Sunny out, Sunny objected and in comes Lillee to push his case! The backdrop not withstanding, Aussies having a go at Sunny Gavaskar earlier in the innings, let it be mentioned that Sunil Gavaskar has openly admitted he was mistaken for staging a walk-out. You can pick that off his books. What did Dennis Lillee ever do? Ever heard him admit he was in the wrong walking up to Gavaskar and pointing/speaking/cursing etc etc. Yes the event was an unfortunate one, but call a spade a spade dont be a jingoistic bias. xxx

nah but there are certain ways to touch my nerves, those aint them. i think out of all the cricketers i like i would defend Gilchrist all the way, so that would be a starting point for you! But not much point having a go at Gilly these days. Oh and I HATE Dennis Lillee with a passion, absolute bastard he is, my most hated aussie cricketer of all time. Disgrace to cricket, worse than Afridi.

Jingoistic and Aussies :giggle: Now there's an oxymoron :haha: Case in point Malcolm Conn, channel 9 commentary team and our friend Robelinda :winky:

Ah Gilly! That great cornerstone of Aussie fairplay who picked his games to walk but didn't hesitate in shouting his head off going for a blatant not out. A bigger hypocrite is harder to come across.

Gilly is the one who fits point no. 2 to a T :smiley: He would "walk" when his team was in a good position and then in the field would appeal like anything for a non-existent edge like against Dravid in Sydney 2008.

Ultimate_Game runs in......and Robelinda lets that one go safely through to the keeper...........but Dhoni fumbles it and 2 byes are scored. LOL.
But if I were Gilly I would still appeal after "walking" in the previous match :winky:
