On Spiv News this morning, the unsurprising revelation that another stoopid Banjo has weighed into the "blop blop, little weeeeed" saga. Thommo says he is sick of all the political correctness in cricket these days and that Hayden should never have been reprimanded. But then again, great bowler that he was, Thommo always has had a brain made of mandarine.

Free speech is a wonderful thing. Sometimes it gets us into trouble, but we should guard it with everything we've got.

Cricket 'run by sooks'Article from: Font size: Decrease Increase Email article: Email Print article: Print Submit comment: Submit comment Ben Dorries and Robert Craddock

CRICKET officials have been labelled "sooks" as two of Australia's most colourful sporting greats lashed out at the game's political correctness.

They also described a reprimand given to Matthew Hayden as "over the top".

Fury brewed at Hayden being hauled over the coals for his description of Indian Harbhajan Singh as an "obnoxious little weed'' with claims that cricket has become over-sanitised and top players are being gagged from speaking their mind.

Former Test firebrand Jeff Thomson insisted Hayden's official reprimand was "bulls..t'' while legendary rugby league hardman Tommy Raudonikis labelled cricket officials as "sooks''.

Both said political correctness would turn the game's characters into robots.

"Every time someone says something, some official pulls them in,'' Thomson fumed. "I am sick of political correctness. Someone asked Hayden what he thought of Harbhajan and he gave his view. Aren't you allowed to give an opinion any more? It's bulls..t.''

Raudonikis, the former Australian league enforcer, also weighed into the furore to slam cricket's laws gone crazy.

"They are so weak. They are dead-set sooks,'' Raudonikis said of cricket's officialdom. "To see Hayden in trouble for what he said is ridiculous.

"Aussies are known for our toughness, and for calling a spade a spade, and there is nothing wrong with that.''

Hayden defended his actions last night, claiming he was "saddened'' that he was disciplined by Cricket Australia.

"It saddens me that my employer has to discipline me for my behaviour,'' Hayden told The Daily Telegraph.

"I can see that my comments were insensitive but they were not intended to be denigrating and especially not contrary to the spirit of cricket.

"The cricket environment I have grown up with is probably a little bit different from today.''

The Australian Cricketers' Association also backed Hayden to the hilt.

"The ACA is disappointed that Matthew was charged for expressing a personal opinion about another player,'' ACA chief executive Paul Marsh said.

Mystified players privately questioned why the process to find Hayden guilty and then slap him with a reprimand took nine hours - suggesting it was a politically based decision with pressure brought to bear from India.

CA chief executive James Sutherland and operations manager Michael Brown had been locked in talks on Wednesday afternoon deliberating over a potential sanction, long before the hearing convened that night.

South African batting legend Barry Richards was incredulous at the Hayden sanction and claimed cricket was being made to look "stupid''.

"The way they are going they will be having tea and cucumber sandwiches on the pitch. Test cricket has got to be about some sort of clash,'' Richards claimed.

"The trouble with all these reportings and hearings is that teams are using them to try and get some ascendancy. It is all about scoring points at the moment.

"This political correctness is just a lot of nonsense.''

Hayden had argued his comments were said in a flippant manner but code of conduct commissioner Ron Beazley thought otherwise.

There were suggestions that CA had caved into pressure from India to sanction Hayden, the one-day player of the year at the Allan Border medal.

Sutherland had earlier promised Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Niranjan Shah that he would investigate Hayden's outburst on a Brisbane FM radio station.

Tommy R was a deadset legend . . . you can still smell the fibro . . .

FFS ...its a pretty well known clause in a standard CA contract

Obviously the reprimand worked ....I'm sure there is some contrition in there somewhere ...Stoopid ****** wit

Asbestosis can be caused by a single fibre, can't it?

They went out on a limb getting quotes didn't they. Getting Tommy to say something against officials clamping down on a sledge would be like getting Trev to say something for rimming
