Re: The bloke who had a go at Dean Laidley, wrong man's been pinned apparently ? Uh, no-ones blaming Laidley. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Some of us are just stating that the confrontation might have had some effect on the man; who knows. :confused:

Re: The man who had a confrontation with Laidley - Dead Yeah I tend to agree. Of course Laidley was not responsible for his death, but we will never know if the incident may have contributed in any particular way. Sure, the family may say the man had been suffering from depression for years-...

Re: "F*ck you all" 100 off 136?? Boring and slow. Cricket games are to provide people with entertainment. They are not there so one guy can score runs at an incredibly slow pace so he can keep his spot in the side. Sack him now. Michael Hussey could easily replace him as opener.

'Pointless' ? So what cricket does have a point?? Considering the one day series is the most watched form of cricket in Australia, and attracts the biggest crowds, Id say its of some importance. Its like saying every home and away game in the AFL doesnt matter; that you only have to...

Re: TV Commentators! Yet you only want to keep the guy who has been at Nine the longest?? :rolleyes:

No YOU dont. The skit was a joke. Thats all. Now just shut up please. I have a headache reading all your rantings here.

Oh god some people over-react. :rolleyes: The skit was supposed to be a joke that would create more enthusiasm for the upcoming Ashes series. Of course Ricky couldnt laugh because Phil was criticizing the team! That didnt mean Ricky was sitting there angry and not knowing it was a joke...

Im not writing him off. Im just saying he is past his best. And he is. If you want to fool yourself otherwise, then go ahead. Past records does not mean you perform well in the present. What exactly do you want me to say? That McGrath is our best bowler at the moment? I dont think he is.

Why? Its obvious McGrath is past his best. Your blind love for the Australian cricket team on this site is rather odd.

Yes. Youre correct there. Sounds like he is an asset to the team. So why isnt he playing?

So resting Ponting in tomorrows match means he is going to make centuries in the South African tour tests?? How do you figure that?

9.15 Perth so 12.15 Eastern.

Hes captain of the Australian cricket team- and the cricket team is playing this Sunday without him. I do find something wrong with that. Well Sri Lanka beat us last Sunday, and we only won in Adelaide with 9 balls to spare. And Bracken will be heading home to Sydney this weekend too. I find...

Ricky Pontings innings since the 7th of January: 13 v SL 33 v SA 9 v SA 13 v SL Someone explain to me why this guy needs to have another 'rest' on Sunday. This CA policy of resting players is fast becoming a joke.

Re: Jaques embarrasses selectors And for Australia to lose. That might teach them a lesson as to rotating players. But it really comes down to who bats first. If Sri Lanka bat first, theyll win. If they bat second, theyll lose horribly.

LMAO. Mark Nicholas, you are just too much. :D

LOL :D My favourite of his is 'Hes bowled with great verve'. What the hell is 'verve'??!! And also take a drink each time Bill Lawry screams out 'Hes out' even though the batsman has been dropped a couple seconds before that. :rolleyes: I find it hard to believe his eyes have a 5...

Dont give me this 'player welfare' rubbish. Ponting would have had Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to rest. Why would you need more than three days to rest after scoring ~13 runs on Sunday??

Exactly. Its ridiculous. Australia couldnt chase down Sri Lanks runs on Sunday, so they rest their best batsman for the next match? How does that make sense??

So basically, just void the 4 years of cricket we play inbetween each World Cup because its of less importance?? We should always have the best team on the field. Ricky Ponting does not need a rest. Hes hardly had a long, tiring innings this series. He should be playing on Thursday.

"If I hear one more time that the Australian team is preparing for the 2007 World Cup, I am going to scream" "Has anyone actually said, 'Hang on, we need to win this VB Series' ?" From my most hated cricket commentator to my favourite in a matter of seconds.

Saying that Hopes should not be in the Australian cricket team is NOT whinging. Rather its what everyone, bar yourself, is thinking at the moment.

I understand quite well. When you dont select your best team, you lose. Quite simple. I dont need explanations from others. From Sunday the 15th, through until Wednesday the 25th, Glenn McGrath has played one game for Australia. And that entailed him bowling 10 overs. Thats all. Thats not...

Yeah, Ill give him a break. A break from playing in the Australian team for a long while.

Channel 4 lost the cricket rights. And I dont think hes been emplyed by Sky there either.

OK. Keep denying that there are several problems with the Australian cricket team at the moment. Fine with me.

No Australia deserved to lose because they did not pick their best team for the game, and also the bowlers were ordinary. Dorey, Bracken, Hopes are NOT 3 of Australias 4 best bowlers. Yet along with Lee, they made up the Australian attack today.

Oh I loved Bills reaction to it. Do the die-hard Aussie fans feel the need to defend absolutely everything that goes on with the Australian cricket team? Symonds swore when ideally he shouldnt have. Theres no need for everyone to go jumping up and down defending Symonds and getting upset...

This rotational policy is just ridiculous. It really is. Like you say, it unsettles and the side, and devalues ODI matches as meaningless. And please stop the crap about this World Cup 07. When that comes around, we will pick our best players for that. In the meantime, cricket will still...

Absolutely agree. This series and its selections is becoming quite a joke really. The constant restings and shufflings in the team are very unprofessional. Players should be tested and tried in STATE teams. They should not be given 'opportunities' to perform in the NATIONAL team. Time the...
