Disgraceful behaviour i agree, but i doubt any punishment will be metted out. Can't blame them, BCCI has set a trend where guilty are given green card and even elected to highest positions. With the advent of t20, cricket is now more of a business and less of a game. Please dont even mention T20 to me, its not cricket, but just a gimmick to pull money in. True England have not done much, but they deserve kudos. 3 years back, they were a national joke, and now they have built a team which is atleast one of the top 3 in the world. They deserve the applause they are getting. Hopefully they can continue and remain a bonafide rival to Aussie's and S Africans in test arena. And i dont consider India as a good test team at present. |

Was not talking to u about T20 but some other gentleman here. my bad forgot to mention As you said they were a national joke now they are making cricket look like a joke, jus reminding me of Aussie behavior at heights without even reaching there... n yup regarding that punishment, never expect a BCCI official or relative and some players to get into trouble for these things. Ramdin must have thought *What did Trot do back in India?* Edited by vijji 27-08-2013 17:48 |

I cant believe that Spade and I are agreeing, but honestly vijji T20 is a joke. There's a reason that a test is called a test. Its because its a test of skill over 5 days where the surface, the weather, home advantage and many other things have to be overcome. | 27/08/2013 17:50 |

Bah, this is the ashes celebration thread. Not the "knock England because I think it winds up Grantis and I am a horrible Troll thread" This just smacks of Jealousy, which just makes me laugh. Seriously start your own "England cheat to win" thread or whatever your current theory is which I can then ignore  |

Well done Poms. Can't wait to have you in our backyard in November. Please bring your bugle - the trumpet, not the dog - and your witty Balmy Army. |

Now thats a good old aussie spirit. one word of advice, the trumpets and dogs are fine, the B-Army on the other hand is quite a handful. On the other hand, if they make too much of ruckus, you can always use them as croc bait for your monthly wrestling matches with reptiles. |
