Arrogance

[karnog]

Symonds in recent months has shown little arrogance but you can't deny the fact that when he got drunk before the game against Bangladesh he admitted he said "its just bangladesh, we'll beat em with our eyes closed". And then they lost. That is arrogant. Yes you might say "bangladesh is a crap team" as they haven't played much cricket but you always play hard no matter who. And not showing respect to the opposing nation due to their constant failures, no matter who it is, is blatant arrogance. Its fine to keep it internal but never actually admit it and tell the media this is what you think.
Enough said.

England has bad boys? I know they have had bad cricketers, but bad boys? That's something I haven't seen.

I will say Paul Collingwood because his last name is Collingwood, and well the Magpies are hated everywhere.

Its funny cause Collingwood is the team he supports. England are fun to verse at least. I loved beating em 5-0.

They're also thieves. Stealing players from other nations like Pieterson, Alan Mullaly and Geraint Jones.

EDIT: Its sad isn't it.

Where else are they going to get good players? Actually look within their own country? Surely not! I love what Tony Greig said one day when England was here "It's good seeing a South African playing for England,"

I cant believe how many players they have stole. I reckon every 10 years, all the other test nations have to give England a player. For S. Law. Poor S. Law

No poor England, who'd play Law at international level? Oh wait I see where you are going Law = **** England = ****.

Hah,

For Indians if we disclude Pakistan we love beating England. Its so awesome to watch em think they have a chance. The last Ashes series was a hoot. "If we play our cards right we might have a chance at winning 2-1" speaks Strauss.

" It only takes a couple of decisions to go our way, one of our bowlers to hit a purple patch or KP to hit a big score and we could make the final and then it’s eleven men against eleven men. It’s anyones game. That’s what we’ll tell them."

EDIT: I found this hilarious...
"I’m still in something of a state of shock, to be honest. We actually bloody well won a game of cricket. I don’t know what I’m supposed to say. I’ve forgotten what it’s like to win."

India and Australia should be friends, how can you not love a team that smashes the old Poms?

The only way that would happen if they ban H. Singh for the matches he should have got.

Thus we invented coolspeech for them. So then they can read and write...but they did make the English language..

 

[karnog]

EDIT: So are all contact sportsmans arrogant, since they cant exactly be friendly with the opponent?

Nah they're happy just touching guys... hence the big grin at the end of the game.

Well we should give em all the help we can. They deserve a normal start at life, whatever country they were stolen from
