Naseer is been embarrasment himself with his louder mouth then his thoughts. He has been considered one of the worst Cricket commentator by British media anyway.
Whatever England did is nothing compare to what Ponting and his roudy players are doing for years..

Considering that almost 100% of the gentry here agree that everyone should behave like England and do even worse things, I am quite satisfied that that is the case.... :)

r u in that almost 100%. and people here are not saying that everyone shud behave like England but Ponting needs to know when to speak what
Comment from Astralian captain? When he feels & expresses that they have every right to adopt any means to get the batsman out.Whether within the laws or otherwise.

Neither: The problem was Aussies did not have support of umpires. Steve bucknor retired. Ponting should go to his mummy and cry

Thanks for letting me know that Australia were not robbed of the victory because of the 3-4 minutes lost of the amateur behaviour of the English team (As per Hussain). So, why Ponting cribbing over that 3 minute issue :)
Ponting is great player and captain. He likes only win which is necessary to be at no.1 position for long time.He helped australia to win world cup victory and many more. We Indian are really pathetic criticising Ponting.Only One world cup T20 had made superpower in 2007 and in 2009 we could not even reach super8. This is what we are. Any sport should be played like a war like football, hokey to be no 1.

India did reach the "super 8" but not the semifinals. It was Australia that failed to reach the "Super 8".

India didnt reach the super8 in 2009, what abt Australia. Criticising Ponting - what u mean by we Indians, everyone is criticising him. Also, they are voicing their opinion so whats the big fuss. Also, as per an Ex Australian cricketer Ponting is the worst captain.

Thanx for letting us know that Buck nor and Benson only helped Australia to get ONE extra wicket.... rest of the wickets they were capable of taking themselves.... :)
Re: Re: Re: Re: Ponting the Great
by Simpu SH on Jul 16, 2009 09:43 AM
if one wicket does not make any difference then the 3-4 minutes lost also is not a big thing. As per you Australia were incapable of getting the Englishmen out in 5 days, yes, of course u can take that 3-4 minutes out.

India did reach the "Super 8" but not the semifinal stage. It was Australia that did not even reach the "Super 8". Please get the facts right. It gives more credibility to what you are saying.
Whether it was Nasser,Ricky,SteveWaugh,Sunil Gavaskar,Ganguly or many like them,they all have resorted to tactics to deny the opposition a victory,within the frame work of the rules of ICC>. Today when most of them have retired and become commentators and with hind sight as a tool they observe what is right or wrong!!! Remember when GR Vishy as a captain called back Taylor of England at Bombay,who was notout,and lost or drew the match. The Queastion is whether SMG would have done what GRV did,or Nasser and others would have done under similar circumstances ,?????? Attitude of Pontimng holier than though is misplaced since every body knows about his attitude atleast those people like me who has followed cricket since 1958.

SM:
And all of them are still sticking to their guns ....
Nasser too wholeheartedly supports "professionally" going about the task of wasting time to save the match....
His comments were about how "village-green" the English team looked when they wasted time in the fashion they eventually did....
As for attitude of Ponting, you are right.... he doesn't have to sound so hurt about the whole episode; especially in light of his admission of the failure of his own bowlers to remove the last pair....

;-).... considering that Greg Mathews took the final wicket of Maninder to tie the test, your comment on Australians wasting time is quite funny actually.... :)
Re: Re: Tactics and Assies
by Vanamali sarma on Jul 16, 2009 05:54 AM
You are absolutely right. But that doesn't mask the fact that assies precisely did what amounts to time wasting.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Tactics and Assies
by Simpu SH on Jul 16, 2009 10:36 AM
So, u also agree Aussies have been using this dirty tactics for years or u can say they r number 1 in it :)
Somewhere around the mid sixties, there was a test match between India and Australia. it was the last day of the match. Australia were left with a couple of wickets only but India had plenty of time to bowl the remaining players. That was the time Bill Lawry played the famous Pad game. He padded literally every ball and kept wasting time. Had he been out, the victory my a huge margin would have been only a formality.
Aussies try to teach about Ethics, morals and time wasting tactics to others. As rightly said by Fletcher there are the worst players in the world yesterday, today and tomorrow.
BTW, does anyone remember the year in which the test was played and the scores?
