Good to hear he's returning, he's a good umpire.

I was selective with my signatures, never got whole teams to sign things for me or ever tried to get someone to sign something because they simply played for their country, I have Steve Waugh, Mark Waugh, Mark Taylor, Viv Richards, Dean Jones, Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting, Brian Lara, Dennis...

This thread is way off topic. I say you can't say Australia's reign is over due to one series. We have too many talented players in the wings for that to happen. And once we get rid of the old and soon to be retiring players and build a new team chemistry, we will be unstoppable again.

I want to see some more 100mph bowlers, 90mph seems slow now

Do you really think controversies win games? We survive by playing better cricket than anyone else in the world. That sounds like a sore sorry loser way of looking at it to me.

pathetic stuff from the lankans. India well done though

Well I guess that game shows why Australia is the number one team. They still win matches when they're playing well below their best. The last few games, Australia has been terrible. Hope they pick up their act with the batting aspects. And Pontings form! Terrible stuff!

Fair bit a winging here about a catch that saw symonds get his fingers under the ball anyway. Just another excuse to attack andrew symonds? On an unrelated point worthy question, what happened to all the people calling Symonds a cheat for not walking when he nicked it that time, including a...

Taking things out of context? Wow, you need to read the post again. You just didn't get it. You proved nothing, apart from the fact that you're ability to understand is well....... oh don't worry you wouldn't understand.

Symonds didn't lie about receiving racist comments. Are you out of your mind? It happens often in courts, we know that people have committed a crime, but can't always convict. That is like this case. We know he did it, your stupid if you cant see it, How can you say symonds committed a crime...

Yeah I remember seeing a clip of him bowling in the nets a while back and I thought he had a suspect action. But since the murali incidents of late, I think there may have been a rule change on what is deemed to be chucking? Correct me if i am wrong. But none the less, his action will be...

I feel he's gotten away with racial abuse here. Just lucky enough that it wasn't picked up on mic. If someone is found to be not guilty due to not enough evidence, this does not mean that they didn't do the crime. Symonds had nothing to gain from claiming he called him a monkey despite what...

Well I'm glad that Hayden is in the side. I'm yet to catch the rest of the squad, last i heard Tait was hopeful he would be picked, but it was said unlikely. I hope he doesn't get picked, he played terrible last game. I believe in giving people chances, but I think he needs to go back to the...

No, careing about records and going "gaga" are two different things. I think when he said gaga, he was meaning over the top.

We don't go gaga over our records in Australia i would say. We just happen to often make them, thus you may percieve that we go crazy over them as we are often in the spot light for them. Making a world record run chase in ODI is something quite admirable, but I dont believe it in the same...

Well after seeing the first couple of pages in this thread I thought it would be a good read, seemed civilized enough until I skipped to the last bunch of pages. Allot of people should be ashamed of the way they are behaving, arguing about media, cheating, celebrations, racism, walking, flying...
