    So Justin Langer ...

    ... breath of fresh air. New broom. Mew attitude. New line.

    Wait. What?

    Apparently Sarwan crossed the line.

    Indicative of the ignorance and self obsession that led them to where the whole world pointed and laughed at them.

    The more things change the more tg hey stay the same.

    @booboo who ever said it was a straight line equidistant from both teams?

    As I recall, McGrath started that one.

    Had a chat with an Aussie club cricketer last month or so whereby my argument was that Warner supposedly defending his wife's honour to a bloke who'd never met her and was obviously just spouting untrue nonsense should've been met with a "water off a ducks back" meh response but instead Warner pursued a violent response.

    Aussie fella insisted that by speaking nonsense he deserved a punch in the head. He'd crossed the line.

    I countered with "but the wife wasn't even present for the slur, so isn't it just hot air and stupid talk?"

    Apparently not.

    We then spent time discussing the bullying talk his teenage daughter was being subjected to at school was countered with him explaining to her that the bullys were talking nonsense and she's not to take any notice of their hurtful lies.

    It was a good chat, but this crossing the line in Australian cricket has lost all perspective IMO.

    Stuck between Victorian era honour and modern being offended by someone talking absolute shit.

    Quote from Langer: "But we all know what the acceptable behaviours are.

    No, that's exactly what all the furore has been about

    @chris-b allegedly he asked Sarwan what Laras dick tasted like.

    But that's not crossing the line eh?

    @siam Don't ask me - he may have been complimenting him on his open-mindedness. 🙂

    @chris-b perhaps it wasn't dick but another slang term and Brian actually raised chickens 😀

    @siam What does Brian's fricassee taste like?

    It's delicious - just the right combination of chick and spices!

    I can't see why anyone had a problem....

    I'm getting tired of these fluffybunnies dragging us into their dishonest mire that they've created by themselves.

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/cricket/104008412/Aussie-play-like-NZ-No-thank-you-says-Shane-Warne?cid=app-android

    This thing will fester long simply because the players and admin have lied about this fiasco being isolated to warner and bancroft. What follows is constant tail chasing and denial

    There is no way known that professional bowlers didn't examine the ball and notice undue wear and tear on it, let alone no one talked about working in the ball.

    The ball is the focal point in the field. Every pro looks at it many times.
    CA under Sutherland especially have exhibited arrogance and are not an organisation to be used as an example for global cricket.

    Dodgy fluffybunnies

    Why would anyone be surprised that a doper who blames his mummy states he's 'never really heard any Australian sides' whinge?

    Re: Aussie Cricket

    Little Davey Warner got a century at club level. I wonder if he would do the same in backyard or beach cricket?

    Fark, what a douche. No doubt he's feeling good about being in the runs but the dude has no chill, and seems to be entirely tone deaf.
