Says Punter to Roy

Hehehe, has Punter got the sh!ts about Roy getting 3 times his own value in the IPL Meat Raffle? Well not really, but the timing and wording of the headline is quaint.

Interesting to see what happens if Roy does pull out if the Pak tour goes ahead.

If Roy pulls out, fark him . . . dump him for good and let him with the subis. Give NotParis a baggy green instead.

I'm just imagining Roy climbing up onto a door and standing there. Maybe that's what led to Bhajji's choice of words . . .

So Symonds goes from being "one of the bloke's who's been insulted by a rice-eatin In'jun (taxi driver)" to being one selling his soul for the same In'juns' filthy money. em must be whispering among themselves, so that no one can hear: "It must be due to that unclear percentage that flows in his blood."

Ouch! That must have hurt badly in ex-convict country! bounce

It's obvious that thousands of people will be abusing Symonds at every ground he plays at. It's probably why Hyderabad paid so much for him- They know that thousands will want to come to the game just so they can abuse Symonds. I guess Symonds hasn't picked up on this yet? Or is constant abuse a small price to pay for one and a half million?

Yeah, he gets about 25% of the money whether he plays or not, so implying he wouldn't go to Pakistan his price probably tripled which has meant he now can get $400,000 for not even playing a game.

That's obvious WW. Trev thinks all Aussies are neandathals, so we are all smarter than Trev thinks. Keep sorting that mail Trev. You are making a difference.

The extra long arms to drag the knuckles give us greater leverage to bowl quick and knock you Poms over in Ashes whitewashes.

Yeah, either that or a 200 year long persecution complex gives a better competetive edge.

Begs the question :
Is $1.3 million worth monkeying around for in unwelcoming stadia ?

F'course it is !!! Rolling Eyes

But then, don't come the "oooh, he's made a racist taunt" when returning to the bog standard '500 quid a match' Tests !!!

Um, let's be fair to Symonds, merlin. He was remarkably tolerant when getting it in India. It was when a fellow professional called him something racist that had already been specified as offensive on the list before the series started that he kicked off.

Aye, I'm not denying ... and fair do's to Symmo.
BUT, this is a big BUT ... ... here's the rub ...
how tolerant do you get where serious bucks are concerned?
The guy will, after all, be playing in Bhajji's back yard ...
