babywhalo Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Just flicked on the highlights. It's hard to tell at the Gabba, with the multi coloured seats, but, considering it's the 1st Test and the Aussies are well on top, not the biggest looking crowd especially for the weekend.

Sydney Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 The worst "sledge" I had in football was something along the lines of: "Ah'm gonnae ******* stab you after the game ya ******* *****".

This was as he was walking off after he'd been red carded for chopping me in half already. He didn't stab me. Thankfully. That's horrible. I'm in two minds about all this. On the one hand, who knows what the England players have been saying out there in the middle in recent years, Anderson in particular? This ain't synchronised swimming, after all... But on the other: for me, sledging is only sledging if it's funny, in the same way a really effective putdown is on here, as I know to my cost. And in this case, well: it's just abuse isn't it? Really ugly, bare faced bullying. I've seen a few comments online in which people have been genuinely shocked - some even suggesting that if this is what cricket has come to, what's the point? Of course, it's professional sport, which is all about winning. But winning like this? Ugh. England really ought to take it as a compliment though: if we've got under the Aussies' skin that much that they resort to this, it's almost a good sign. In a strange, strange sort of way though.

Boris Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'm surprised at how easily the Aussies won this test and England really need to extract a few digits from their collective rectum to get back on track. I think they will. For all Australia battered them just there, they are in no way streets ahead of England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I wonder if Trott's illness would have been kept a secret if he'd played well? Better he gets away and gets better.

:shitwine: Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Trott has gone home with a stress related illness. Good one Warner, you tosser! I'd imagine that Trott had issues before Warner called it like it was. If Trott immediately curled up in a foetal position and started crying hysterically because Warner said something at a press conference, then it's time to give up the sport.

Takis4king Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 you get all sorts of nonsense playing football! playing for a big boys club side, i was often targeted in school games for a fair bit of chat, nips at corners etc, telling me they were going to make sure i couldnt walk by the end of the game. managed to shrug it off until 5 mins from the end of one game where i played the ball away only for two seconds later to have a boy two foot me and end up with a metal stud through the leg, plastic surgery required! cowardly stuff. made it better after 5 months out that my first game back at club level was against team including the coward and i scored with my first touch off the bench! unfortunately it goes on in all sports, i like to give as much chat as i get and i get a fair bit, but id stop short of purposely hurting someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun.lawson Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Of course, we neither know for sure that Trott is suffering from depression, nor that cricket has a bigger problem in terms of mental illness than other sports.

Boris Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Draw seems likely but its already turning. Would not want to bat last on that pitch Hence the two spinners in the England side I reckon. However the English attack isn't really the issue. It's how their batsmen face up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWL Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I reckon The Aussies will be the slightly happier of the two. They got away with a couple, especially at the end and have Clark and Haddin at the crease. England need an early wicket tomorrow morning to swing it back in their favour and then MJ will start throwing the bat around. Could be an entertaining day.

If Australia get another 100 runs they'll get at least a draw. If Clarke and Haddin last past the first hour I'd make them favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
