You know it's bad when even the Aussie media are asking why they were appealing? Seems like Haddin the only honest one.Ziggy wrote:Thought the same thing.God is an Englishman wrote:Aussies appealing for 1 hand 1 bounce now.

Yet today they chose to play until the final over. What's the difference?Cloister wrote:Disappointed they opted for a draw with four overs to go. Three balls to get four wickets I can understand, but four overs is doable.

Can you imagine the kick off if someone did that to an Australian batsman?God is an Englishman wrote:Aussies appealing for 1 hand 1 bounce now.

Re: Aus v India - test series
No, because as you're known worldwide for your whingeing you'd do it bigger and better. The other difference would be you would claim it isn't whingeing if done by a convictBomber wrote:Would it be similar to the way you lot whinge and carry on about anything and everything?Old Redback wrote:Can you imagine the kick off if someone did that to an Australian batsman?God is an Englishman wrote:Aussies appealing for 1 hand 1 bounce now.

Re: Aus v India - test series
Your lot invented whingeing, hence the well known terminology "whingeing pom". And most convicts came from England, much like yourself. See the link now?

well we may have invented it but your lot have perfected it. Also perfected the art of calling anyone who dares to say something is wrong a whinger. To the extent that you can't even mention basic facts
without being called one.
The term whingeing Pom comes from those who came here, realised it was cabernet so went home.

Re: Aus v India - test series
Basic facts, carefully chosen only when a negative applied to anything Australia or Australian. I notice you dont post facts that shed them in any other sort of light. Perhaps us winning at anything just gets your gander up so much, you cant help it. That means we must be doing a lot right, and winning, so overall its fine by me if you wish to continue in that vain.

Re: Aus v India - test series
Someone already posted some excuses for this elsewhere:God is an Englishman wrote:So the grounds were full were they?
God is an Englishman wrote:$600 on tickets
flights for a mate coming in from Sydney
Game not happening during school holidays
Only one day of the weekend having a game
Holidays booked from work for days when there's now no cricket
WELL DONE CRICKET AUSTRALIA!

That's one test sorted, comment on the others?
Even the weekend day of the adelaide test was only full for a game which was still in the balance and all 4 results still possible. Next!

Re: Aus v India - test series
Adelaide Test (rescheduled):
The overall attendance was 113,009, the highest on record for a non-Ashes test.
Melbourne Test (unaffected):
Day 1 was the 3rd most attended non-Ashes Test in Australian history (and 9th overall)
Sydney & Brisbane were both rescheduled as well.

Re: Aus v India - test series
GIAE I refer you to a previous quote - Never argue with an idiot, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
You should know by now that when Aussies whinge they see it as everything else but whingeing but when an Englishman makes a comment questioning something they think is fine or something that relates to something 'Australian' that is a 'whinge'. If you avoid saying anything that King Bomber disagrees with you should be fine.
