John Reid: Aussie 'idiots' need to be reined in!

''Generally the Australian team looks good, but there are a handful of idiots who need to be reined in,'' Reid said as Australia braced itself for a torrid reception from what is notoriously the most volatile crowd in New Zealand when game three is played at Sneddon Park tomorrow. ''Do your work with the bat and the ball, not your mouth.''
And
Reid claimed that in his time refereeing, Australian players were ''always the worst at sledging''.
''I dealt with barging by Glenn McGrath, bowlers standing in the way of a runner - like Johnson did to Styris - and Curtly Ambrose knocking the stumps out of the ground,'' he said.

Reid's comments were correct ...and most of us think that Watto and Jonno at least act like idiots on the field too often ...he just got a bit carried away when he tried to blame the Chappells for it ...and Curtly for some strange reason

Meanwhile, Brendon McCullum and Styris carry on like complete qunts but don't rate a mention.
Imagine if McCullum had've run Chuck out when he went to congratulate Sanga on his ton in a Test in SL. They'd've rioted.

Australia has just one neighbour and even they are so mad at them.
Australia needs to look inwards to gain credibility outwards.

not .. Islamists are mad at everyone.
IF they were next to aussies they would have been madder still .. suicide bombs everyday .. sometimes you got to admire and respect the diversity the India carries through on a day to day basis without as much as a sigh ..

The day Curtly played his last test on Aussie soil - Perth? - the ABC commentators on at the time said he was the biggest arsehole they have met in all their years of cricket. He then proceeded to delivery bowl no ball after no ball for some bizarre reason.

Do you realise that 16% of the World's muslim population lives in one of Oz's near neighbours?
