Oh dear.

Why would a batsmen come out and just abuse the opposition, it doesn't make sense.

Bailey (in my opinion) was clearly not shutting up and then clarke comes in with threats. We don't know when/what he was saying. Maybe he was crossing the line, maybe it was when the bowler was running in. We don't know.

Flower has then suggested clear the air talks and to put it all to bed but the aussie bogan doesn't want to deal with it like a gentleman.

The facts are though that the icc agree with me that clarke was out of line.

Bailey said he is pretty quiet on the field.

So what you are saying that what Anderson may of said in earlier innings/matches would of been forgotten by the Australians when he was batting....Oh dear back at you with a :oops:

Flower is a disgrace for using a legitimate illness to one of his squad members(which he wants us all to be contrite about)as a soapbox to have a go...The guy has no class as a coach and I would be embarrassed if I was english.

It wasn't hard for them with vide/ audio evidence was it. This isn't the ACB they couldn't cover it up.

I guess if you have a go at someone's wife who is undergoing cancer treatment at the time they might react differently to what was said by Clarke...just saying :shock:
He didn't have a go at his wife at all. It was just a brilliant comeback and McGrath couldn't take it and had a sooky fit to the umpire.

So whats Anderson's excuse??

Major difference in them though - Jimmy didn't start the words with bailey and Clarke, McGrath did start the words with sarwaan and bit off more than he could chew.
:shock: You really believe that???...Show me the proof of that mind blowing statement.

I think it started a long time before that final session, who started it is a moot point... Truth is Anderson couldn't cop the heat and had a cry. Then Flower uses one of his players illnesses to get up on his soap box and have a crack at the Australian side.... Class act this lot.

Add to that, the ECB wanting confirmation about what is considered a no ball when talking about bouncers

He, Sarwan, implied that McGrath's wife knew what Brian Lara's cock would taste like after McGrath had asked him what it had tasted like....think McGrath might have reacted differently if his wife wasn't undegoing chemotherapy at the time.
A bit like when one of the West Indian players asked Greg Ritchie why he was so fat....apparently Ritchie replied..."because everytime I go round to see your wife she feeds me !"

Comes with the territory I would think....

Seeing as how old you are you probably remember the whingeing over the 33/34 series, that was to do with bowling bouncers as well. All we have done (if that is the case) is ask for clarification on the ruling.

Ok, we've all had our say, some agree some dont, blah blah.

Reality, its 1-0 but its ONLY 1-0 and the poms only need a drawn series to hold the urn.

I would have preferred Perth to be the next test as I reckon we would be HOT favourites there and a 2-0 lead would be hard to overcome.

Another important toss to win in Adelaide. If england win it and make 500+, the pressure is back on us.

Either way, I am actually loving a bit of the argy bargy and I predicted this would be a fiery series.

Test cricket = alive and well !

Don't see what Flower has done wrong here at all. He's suggested clear the air talks, he wants to clear it up, he wants to deal with it like gentleman but the convicts want none of it and just want to look butch and tough in the media.

C'mon, Flower can see the Aussies stuck it up them, now wants to settle things to give some sway back to the old enemy. Maybe the poms just need to wear ear muffs or try some harden the fuck up juice. :P

End of the day, it doesnt matter.
Whichever team elects to bat first, will be making lots and lots of runs.
This test will be a draw, and may give england the batting practice they need
