Boo hoo, the nasty man didnt walk in an ashes test.

Silly aussies...... :-)

[Pokster]

who should have got the flack for missing such an obvious edge

[Mack]

No doubt that will be ignored in their match reports.

[Classic Jorge]

You're going to have to explain this in very basic terms, short words and no jargon.

Huge number of ex pats in that ground, I presume.

[Classic Jorge]

[Peter]

Same could be said for aussies i suppose

[The Tony]

So instead of taking a free throw he ran it for another set of six and past the winning post first.

[Peter]

That he didnt walk off and voluntarily give up his wicket. The umpire then didnt give him out.

The nearest equivalent in football is probably complaining tht a player 'went down a little too easily'.

And to think I always thought it was poms that were meant to be whingy.

[Classic Jorge]

I thought he'd been involved in a car accident and left the scene to avoid breath testing or something.

In otber words, is this the equivalent of those wenger masks the stoke fans wear, or is it the booing of ramsey?

Aussies have a wonderful sense of humour, of course.

Would be very, very unusual at a test match. Alone, it doesnt really mean anything at all.

[Peter]

Not much wrong with that though. You dont want to be too nice

This is reflected in the overall spirit in which the game is enjoyed, mostly wherever it is played.

After all, you don't see the French or the Spanish or the Germans or the Italians or the Americans creating any sport that meets with any popular approval and global participation, do you.

Broad is one of our key players, you see. There's nothing more in it than that.
