Shane Watson's celebration vs Gayle

[frankrizzo]

ahh the rumour was Mark Waugh and the story denied by both involved.

Man people are still banging on about that cairns thing?

Cairns himself came out and said the whole thing was bullshit, if I remember correctly it was an aussie journo who made the whole thing up.

Its amazing people still automatically believe cricket journalists…they have a long history of sitting down and inventing sledges they think the players might have/could have said.

Gibbs just dropped the world cup, the infamous eddo brandes sledge which also never happened.

Journalists know cricketers tend to keep on field talk private even decades later so it’s a free chance for them to basically print what they like.

If he wanted to give him a send off, then fine.

Send offs are not fine in any situation. Shows a complete lack of class. A category Watson find himself in right now. No class on the field, whatsoever.

 

[XFactor1979]

practicers of the victorian code of football should use that footage in their motivation tapes:

collingwood - do it like shane watson!

or fremantle - "do you have the passion? shane watson sure does"

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Unfortunately Australian cricket seems to have the highest flog per cricketer ratio worldwide with India and Pakistan gaining fast.

I'd have India first, by a long way.

Also, flog per cricketer? How many flogs can one cricketer have?

 

[PalaceGun]

I'd have India first, by a long way.

England would be second.

As in flogs who = cricketers. India has Singh but Watsons antics have superseded him. I think the other Aussie flogs are on par with Indias. Uberflog is Watson and that puts Australia ahead marginally

 

[Wish Wellingtons]

I would say that Australia has one of the least floggy teams in our history at the moment.

Watson is up there and Clarke has his moments, but it is nothing compared to Sreesanth, Harby and co

 

[Cousin Jed]

Predicting that this will be locked within 24hrs.

Getting closer....

 

[CanonNo1]

England would be second.

Australia have the most flogs in the team bar none. On flog rating scale

- Simon Katich. Actually not a stereotypical Aussie cricket w***er. Seems to be his own self and not really caught up in the nonsense behaviour some of his teammates partake in. An admirable 1/10 on the flog scale.

- Shane Watson. Catapulated to near top of the flog scale. 9/10

- Ricky Ponting. Was a blokes bloke in his younger days. Loves the piss and the punt. Still turns a blind eye at times to his rubbish teammates. Tolerable but still no princess. Helped by the fact he is one of the best batsmen to have played in the past 20 years. 5/10

- Michael Clarke. The captain of the flog brigade. A David Beckham wannabe. Tattoos and fast cars. That kid at school that you wanted to belt because always seems to be sucking up the arse of someone. 10/10

- Michael Hussey. Anyone with the nickname 'Mr Cricket' and who carries on like he does after taking straight forward catch needs to be rightfully included in the upper echelon of flogs. 7/10.

- Marcus North. In the Katich mould. 1/10

- Brad Haddin. Complete w***er and cheat. 9/10

- Doug Bollinger. Carries on like he's good. Dougy, please .. you wear a wig. 6/10

- Peter Siddle. Another grade cricketer somehow playing international cricket. 6/10

- Mitchell Johnson. Never seen a bowler take so many wickets with utter rubbish. Thinks he's a good bowler but slightly above average - give me Dale Steyn any day. 7/10

- Brett Lee. The "legend of the flog". The chainsaw celebrations after getting the number 10 batsmen out are to behold. 8/10.

- Clint McKay and Nathan Hauritz haven't been in there for long enough.

 

[apollo_creed]

love the descriptions mate.

lee, bollinger, clarke and watson are the only real flogs there imo.

Swann, Pietersen and Collywobbles beat the Australian XI on their own in that contest and I agree with most of your descriptions.

 

[Caesar]

Hauritz has played more Tests than North IIRC. Hussey hates his nickname, hardly his fault people want to call him that. Everything I've seen indicates he's a modest hardworking guy. I won't bother with the rest.

Shit post. Put a fork in this thread.

You missed Watto's main challenger to world crickets uberflog crown.

Broad.

No need to name any others after the three I've mentioned.

"I didn't expect anything better" - Chris Gayle on Shane Watson's bad sportsmanship

Gayle is a hero.

 

[damochandler]

he looks like a massive tool every time he tries to sledge someone. he think's he is a tough shit when he does it. he thinks he is an intimidator

 

[darcytiger]

I think Gayle accused Watson of cheating at some point, pretty good reason why he went off. Being called a cheat really gets to people

 

[wotdoiput]

Shouldnt of done what he did, but going by some of the knobs in this thread you would of though he killed Gayle, the Queen, President Obama and Pope as well as ate their children.

Fine fair enough, have seen much much worse over the years some by non Australians, some by Australians.

Wipe away the tears all you haters whom are annoyed that Watto has been proving you wrong lately.

 

[King Elvis]

And he will get away with it, Aussies do this time and time again and always get away with it. Same thing when Gambir got banned for a game, Watson was giving it to him all day. Good to see the Aussie behaviour hasn't improved.

And hey, if he doesn't get fined, let's just get the umpire who cited him removed and threaten to abandon the Tour.

Stupid from Watto, lucky to only get fined a small amount.

Should have been Player of the Series as well, comfortably.

India has Singh but Watsons antics have superseded him.

What a heap of shit

"I didn't expect anything better" - Chris Gayle on Shane Watson's bad sportsmanship

Gayle is a hero.

Full quote, which you have misquoted:

"Not really, he's that sort of person," Gayle said. "I didn't expect anything better, so that's typically Shane Watson, he's a passionate person. That's how he expresses himself but maybe he just overdid it a bit, but that's Shane Watson."

Only slightly misquoted.
