Monkeygate 2 years on. How did Aus wind up as the bad guys?

I think the rest of the cricket world has come to a clear realisation about the character and attitudes of certain bannies who are repeat offenders - Harbi, Instant Karma and Banshree now carry dubious reputations for their lack of civility and sportsmanship

Eh? What did Ishant do to get your kero soaked panties all twisted up?

they are pads actually doremi...and not of the cricketing variety

Yeah, too much information.

you'll need this info when you reach my age

Nobody else will ever reach your age.

Sorry. That was the referee Proctor. I think it blew over after his farcical hearing where Symonds word was taken over Bhajji's. A judgement based on hearsay. Thing is does anyone even care about it anymore?

And still people don't understand the meaning of hearsay.

Indeed.

Who cares for all that happened 2-3 years back? Neither Symonds nor Bhajji are known for being good people. It would be most ironical when they pretend to be buddies and drink together after a game or two in IPL this season.

Those you'd expect to, do. Those you'd expect not to, don't.

However, it's almost worth watching a few hours of dire IPL sh!t* for the frisson of seeing these two old foes barely stifling their wrath as they play chums. I hope they're miked up well if/when one runs the other out.

I think dropped catches off each others bowling is the more likely event.

Not bad guys so much as un-Australian in Symonds getting all het up about verbal use. After decades of verbal abuse from the Aussies, Symonds getting all hysterical about the m word seemed a bit pathetic and was probably symbolic of the changing identity of Oz cricket.

Symonds got pissed off because he was shafted by CA ...Harby is a turd who thinks he can (pretend to) call someone an agreed racial slur and first of all deny he said anything and then claim he said something that sounds like the agreed racial slur (which is probably a worse slur but without racial connotations)

They're both qunts and the game would be better off without the pair of them.

A weekly event in EPL I guess.
