Dec 16-20: 3rd Test - Australia v England at Perth

[pcfan123]

One of these days I wanna see a coach run down there to yell at the umpire.

I remember Jamie Siddions walked into the match-referee's during Eng tour of Bd, and he got fined for that. Puss stuff.

And I hate how the umpires try to break it down, when the players starts sledging. Let the fans ENJOY the game!

Yea I remember that Siddons deal, that was back when UDRS was still confusing the 3rd umpires. It was Daryl Harper right?

But yea , I don't want that baseball mentality of "get in the umpires face" in cricket. It's the gentleman's game for a reason. There is a nice balance of respect and sledging right now, I don't want the cricketers turning into redneck ball players.

So did Smith do the job? should he be dropped? or is he just going to ride the coattails of other peoples performances into another selection? I think he should be dropped like a hot potato

And hire Chris Rock to do the comedy stuff. That will solve 2 things. He would be the 1st non-Aus and a non-white player to represent Aus.

Cricket to 'Merica

He doesn't count. Let me link you to that cricinfo article. (If I can find it)

Woohoo England on a rampage here, even if they get set 400, there are still 2 full days left.

Tremlett you are a beast! Where have you been this whole time!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

352/6

If they can wrap the tail quickly, they'll be chasing below 400.

Tremlett has been quite impressive.

And that's why Collingwood is in the side

357/7

I can live without "get in the umpires face" and redneck stuff but I still feel umpires are too cautious nowadays. As soon as 2 players get face-to-face or sledge a bit, they get in the way and ruin the fun. These are grown ass pro-men. They shouldn't get in there right away. I'd break it up after a while.

100 HUSSEEEEY

 

[pcfan123]

Well played Hussey, he has been Australia's saving grace this Ashes.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

8 down. England could be batting tonight.

What's with the hatred towards Smith from the English?? Is it because he's better than North?

 

[pcfan123]

Thank you Ryan Harris, oh and btw you are not Mike Hussey, don't play the pull shot with 3 in the deep.

Have you seen him? the way he hold the bat and that stupid trailer park hair dye.

Well, the batting has been better than north. At least.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

A target of 400 will be nice

 

[McLOVIN]

Why would the English hate Smith because he is better than North. "Better than North" is debatable.

I want Cam White in the next test.
