Public displays of affection between unmarried folks are also insulting to Indians - perhaps they should complain about Ricky and the boys giving each other a good tonguing at the fall of each wicket.

I though that was insulting to everyone, regardless of prejudice?

It gets Trev a bit hard, from what his mum told me . . .

I thought you told her not to talk with her mouth full.

There's a lot to be said for that.

Lehmann was banned for making a racist comment in the dressing room (although it wasn't directed at any opposition player).

You can open your mouth when you've earned it. Until then, shut up and try not to draw too much attention to your comical craptitude.

aye pidge was the best example. Talked a good game, but always backed it up on the field

He was simply thinking he'd just get a cut rate by doing all of them at once.

Harbi really should have tried the JC/Lehmann defence.

So, Buckaroo, what point were you trying to make?

by *Buckaroo* Mon 07 Jan 2008, 02:10

Hardly any have been banned for onfield verbal abuse.

by JB Mon 07 Jan 2008, 02:12

Really? That was the point you were trying to make? Laughing

by *Buckaroo* Mon 07 Jan 2008, 02:14

Australian sledging takes the colorful term of *mental disintegration*.

So why not sledging by every other team come under that gamut as well ??

You never never banned anyone for sledging for saying far worse than 'monkey' which was supposedly said in this case.

by *Buckaroo* Mon 07 Jan 2008, 02:15

When Sarwan sledged back at McGrath, it was only then that the controversy broke up.

Otherwise McGrath sledging at Sarwan was *mental disintegration*, and everything was hunky dory at ICC.

by JB Mon 07 Jan 2008, 02:15

Really.

So, what's your take on Lehmann getting banned?

by *Buckaroo* Mon 07 Jan 2008, 02:20

A freak.

by JB Mon 07 Jan 2008, 02:21

Yeah, I know Lehmann is a freak but what's your take on him getting banned?

I'm sorry, as good as he was, anyone that loses it like McGrath did in Antigua when the diminutive Sarwan dared to give 'it' back is nowt but a loudmouthed gobs***e in my eyes.

HTF is the word "bastard" racist?

depends on the context.

Of course it does.

by lardbucket Mon 07 Jan 2008, 02:36

Be interesting to see which Test cricketers have never been called a bastard, on the field. This would be a very small subset of deaf cricketers.

It goes way back ... 'which of you bastards called this bastard a gentleman'?

You mean something like "black bastard", or in some other way?
