tasman man 742 Report post Posted January 12, 2021 Pain ,the Aussie Cricket captain which is considered most IMPORTANT job in Australia , got the job after the disgraceful sandpaper cheating not so long ago. His vision and stated purpose was to bring a little decorum to the position and improve the behaviour etc etc. Yesterday Iron Gloves Paine dropped several catches and reverted to what Aussies know and do best.....insults and sledging and trying to bully the Umpires into making decisions to help their cause.....an utter disgrace ! Meanwhile the Sandpaper plotter S.Smith was seen interfering with the Indian crease markings and ultimately the playing surface...a few days after being dubiously being awarded some honour as a 'player of the Decade'. Australian behaviour......they must feel proud .......they are young and free ! pogo(aus) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevy86 2,704 Report post Posted January 19, 2021 Nice dose of karma. And what a match! Another reason why I am thankful to be a sports nut, and not an opera or ballet follower. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason why I am thankful to be a sports nut, and not an opera or ballet follower. The Indians.....below full strength , under attack from some rascist spectators ,injured and battered with hostile intimatory bowling were oh so brave and determined for last two tests.....like Horatius at the bridge ! Monty Python......is that all you got ? Grubby Pain ,the man brought in to restore honour........hahaha ! The all-Aussie match referee panel headed by David Boon ,the beer drinking legend ????? I remember ,and saw John Snow tickling up the Aussies and an Aussie umpire warning him....Ray Illingworth took his team from the field. Have you seen "Fire of Babylon" about West Indies standing up like these courageous Indians did ? Its an oldie but a goodie ! Karma indeed !

Confused 4 Report post Posted January 19, 2021 Shame the Black Caps did not show as much fight as India when they were there 12 months ago. As a cricket lover had been looking forward to that series for ages and was bitterly disappointed. Pleased those Strayans got stuffed Feel India should make that Lords final on guts alone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogo(aus) 876 Report post Posted January 20, 2021 what about making it on ability...they've got plenty of that arsetralia couldnt bowl them out on a fifth day wicket twice even after the sledging and endless short pitched rubbish, and India didnt even have a really scary hahahaka to help them out credit where its due. well done India Memphis3 and tasman man 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uriah Heap 481 Report post Posted January 20, 2021 A vintage Test Series right up until the final overs. By the end I couldn't help but cheer an Indian victory. With all there brave, fresh-faced young guns, standing up to a battering from the big angry Aussies, it was like a Hollywood script. I can't wait for the 30-30 documentary on the Series. tasman man 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
