finally gets a good one...

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/514374.cms

Most likely, nothing will happen. but at least the ICC took the
corrent step.
I think it is slowly turning out to be true...The amount of bull sh1t
they had spewed on and off the field against the Indians is now
getting onto them...These bullies, whether Gilchirst or Hayden or
Symonds or whoever they think they can bully around anyone and can get
away with it...

Thank god! Procter hads the courage which Lloyd didnt have( and though
I am sure Lloyd has the courage, he will use it only against the
Indians)

Now I hope the Aussies realize what a great sportsman Sachin Tendulkar
is! Not only is he the little master when it comes to batting, he is
also tremendous when it comes to his behaviour on the field.

I bet if Symonds was given out in such a manner, he would go with the
bat after the umpire....just as he went after Waqar Younis, when he
bowled 2 bouncers in the world cup match in an over.

Its funny that Gilchirst and Hayden were commenting on Dravid's
technique...There is no doubt in my mind that Dravid's batting
tehnique is far superior than the likes of Gilchrist....

Definitely a good thing. Good for Procter, and good for cricket.

They think they are invincible! They make the biggest fuss about any
little issue that comes up, and themselves, they don't give a shit,
they do whatever they please. And then the nerve to say, SL team
didn't act in a sportsmen like conduct. Out of the whole incident in
SL, the point was not that SL appealed knowing he was not out, but the
point was that Gilchrist and Symonds disagreed with the umpire and
showed their dissent. How sportsman like conduct is that? Knowing
far well the laws of cricket that an Umpire's decision is final (all
aussie posters are quoting that law to show that SL had to accept the
Umpire's reversal of the decision, but they are not quoting it to show
that Gilchrist and Symonds should have accepted that decision and move
on as well, instead of showing their dissent).

One would imagine that the balls in question bowled by Waqar would have had to
bounce to be considered bouncers, but don't let that fact get in the way of a
good argument.

It was 2 bean balls you fool. Waqar is lucky he didn't get his head kicked
in.

Vague recollection of Symonds advancing a few steps down the wicket to
have a go at Waqar, possibly leaving himself open to be stumped (or run
out, would have been interesting had the keeper hit the stumps).

A day prior to an ODO in Sydney, (can't recall whether it was an
International or a QLD match) I had the opportunity to watch Symonds
have a hit in the nets near the members. An absolute champion bloke,
we did the NSW v QLD jibes as you do, commented how I'd like to see
him make the test team so it was great to see him get selected for
the SL tests, just hope he gets a gurnsey.

Now, we're roughly the same size but I certainly wouldn't want him
advancing down the wicket at me with a bat in his hand!

Cheers,
Rod.

Which explains why you are so happy with it: More ignorant bigotry for you
to spill. If they are punished, it makes the ICC looks...omigosh, fair, if
they are not punished, you get to spew bullshit.

Face it, you really *don't* want anything to happen.

...as opposed to a correct step.

Nothing compared to the amount of bullshit you have been spewing.

More idiocy from the dumbass: No one needs courage to look into it, it just
has to be reported to him. A MR cannot lay charges.
Manuel did in this case. It has NOTHING to do with Proctor or lloyd.

Beamers. Not bouncers. Get your details rights most of the time, and you
wouldn't prove yourself to be an idiot.

And BTW, Younis was removed from the attack for that.

Yes, and despite all that they average about the same in tests.

Has anyone made any claims about Gilchrist's and Symonds sportsmanship
in this incident?

Yes, I am a fool because Icouldnt recall exactly whether they were
beamers or bouncers...
But you seemed to be an even bigger fool to me....The crux of this
post ISNT about what kindof deliveries were delivered by Waqar...it
was how Symonds ran at him with the bat...thats the point..

Waqar is lucky he didn't get his head kicked

Quote:

> in.

Yes,thats the attitude I am talking about...If someone else commits a
grave mistake on the field,the Aussie attitude is "get his head
kicked"...Never leave it for the umpires...

But when an Aussie player does it, then it has to be suppressed or
ignored or considered a honest mistake...

Waqar did wrong...Yes...But the umpires rightfully did the correct
thing...No reason for Symonds to run after him with a bat...get that
INTO your head..

Just FYI, Imran did the same against Amarnath in one match...Mohinder
Amarnath didnt run after him with a bat..he just talked to the
umpires....

Ok, yeah that was ignorance on my part...I couldnt recall correctly if
they were bouncers or beamers..but,that sure has nothing to do with
what I was trying to say about Symonds behaviour....

Any chance of intelligent newsreaders deleting those posts where

Shripathi, I have not read anywhere that it was Manuel who laid the charges.
But that is probably because I have only read a few articles today. As such,
would be much obliged if you could inform where this is stated. Many thanks.

He didn't exactly run at him with the bat. Rather, he walked out of his
crease towards Waqar, with his arms spread (one hand had his bat in it),
asking him what the *** he was doing.

If a guy who was once the fastest bowler in the world bowled two beamers
straight at my head, i'd be pretty pissed off too, as would anyone
around the world be if anyone (including Aussies) had done it to them.

Since Procter can only act on reports by the umpires or other reporting
person, what courageous act did he perform?

He just got a much worse decision, and didn't do anything stronger than open
his mouth in shock and tilt his head backwards. But don't let the facts get
in your way.

Bouncers?? ROTFL! You really know your cricket, don't you?

Which is probably why they were saying what a good technique he had.

How do you figure? You can't be stumped from a no ball.
