Super Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Seeing them win a test against us just reminds me that we can't lose to them. All talk, talk and more talk and constant drivel of us being scared. Their press are even worse! Some of the stuff they have been saying is laughable. We have to win in Adelaide. It's a must considering our record in Perth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I was just about to say how classless Clarke was... As a captain you should set the example not mouth off to a number 11.

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Classless and Australian: The words go so effortlessly together don't they! They do judging by the Australian fans reactions and taunts about Diana etc and then defending what they say... That's not banter, that's nothing to do with sport.. its crossing a line.

Warner clearly knew what the situation was with Trott, he knew what he was saying would have an impact on him whilst at the crease. As for Clarke, how a Captain of a National team can justify his comments is a mystery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Clarke, how a Captain of a National team can justify his comments is a mystery Well he cant justify his comments but he did somehow... Quite funny when a British journalist picked it up on the stump mic and asked why he made those comments, he almost looked guilty but as ever fronted it up with nonsense by saying he's heard worse... maybe he has but as the captain of the national side you surely have to set a good example rather than spearheading the taunts.

'Orns Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Not read the whole thread, so apologies if I'm going over old ground here, but I hope Jimmy ******* breaks Clarke's arm in Adelaide. ******* preening, shortarse, smug Aussie****. I hope Johnson wears a couple too. And Warner. Watson as well. If our boys aren't wound up for the next test then I give up Makes me wonder if Warner knew about Trott's impending departure the other night, I've read today that he didn't. I hope that is correct, because if he did then I hope he never suffers from stress/depression and has someone calling him out to the world Was kind of hoping that the Aussies would win the 1st test to set it all up for some brilliant cricket over the next 6 weeks or so, but you've got to wonder now if they are going to blow us away. With no Trott, and no natural no 3 batsmen out there (Bell maybe?) if one of Jimmy or Broad go down with an injury we are well and truly screwed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that is correct, because if he did then I hope he never suffers from stress/depression and has someone calling him out to the world I'm convinced he did. Andy Flower mentioned that Trott has been receiving treatment since before the tour of Australia, knowing how close knit the players are there is no way that Warner didn't know what he was saying. They are probably right in the sense that this was not the cause of Trott flying home, but looking at Warner's past he is clearly a bit hot headed and what better way to wind a player up than go for his jugular! Between Warner and Clarke the two of them let themselves down massively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triumphant return of TG Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 No, you can't, but the bloke is still a complete tosspot who has a very short memory of all the mistakes he made. Strong opinion not backed up with choices he made as a player, and he is quick to let all and sundry know. He didn't do much wrong as a captain. The only successful tour of West Indies since 1968, won every home test of 2004, won in South Africa 2005, lead the 2005 Ashes side with innovative captaincy. The only blot on Vaughan was against Sub-Continent sides and his poor return in ODI's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
