no, its a whinge. and u POMS are very very good at it!
i agree if it was in the olympics we'd come 2nd. We'd lose to you aussies, it's probably the only thing left you'd win though.

no Poms would finish with the gold, silver would go to the yanks!
I will admit to laughing when clarke went for the review on trott, thinking brilliant he's just used up his reviews. Imagine my shock when he was given out.
I think they should be taking reviews down to 1 per innings, these should be to get rid of horror decisions not on a whim.

You hadn't even had the opportunity to hang on a rather paper thin technicality as they never mentioned the hotspot for a few minutes after. So your 1st drop gets caught bang infront with no double sound potentially leaving your team 2 down and 40 runs behind and you let out a fearless chuckle. I seriously doubt this.
Broad, though, stayed firmly put. Then again, it runs in the family. His father Chris was involved in one of the most notorious non-walking cases in the history of cricket.
It came in the Second Test at Lahore in 1987 — on the infamous tour of Pakistan that featured the bust-up between Mike Gatting and umpire Shakoor Rana.
Broad was given out — correctly — but refused to budge.
In fact, he stood there for a full minute until fellow opener Graham Gooch suggested it might be time for him to head back to the pavilion. He was later severely reprimanded.

With all due respect, I think that probably has more to do with you than Broad...God is an Englishman wrote:you don't see any aussies whingeing about broad, my facebook is full of them.Steve#4 wrote:I don't see any Aussies whinging about Broad but still see a couple of poms doing what the do best....
I believe they both should have walked and both are cheats.

Maybe your knowledge into cricket history isnt that great .... W G Grace was known not to walk when given out .B.Toomer wrote:WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND. No aussie can blame Broad for not walking, the aussies started that under captain grumpy.Oh, that reminds me, didn't you sheep shaggers bowl underarm once? You want to play "tough cricket", but don't like it when you are on the receiving end of some.

Haddin should have walked too
Must be nice to finally replace the Britain in that sentence....God is an Englishman wrote:1-0 TO THE ENGLAND!!
