  1. it just says "misconduct", same with the video
  2. yep, arguing the same stuff again and again is getting really really boring
  3. they don't explain the 3 misconducts. anyone see what they were? Melbourne's Jordan Lewis $1500 for misconduct; Lions Nick Robertson and Dayne Zorko $1500 each for misconduct;
  4. the non stop manic running and pressure for 100 minutes of their flag year raises questions of whether they were on some sort of juice they've been a shadow of themselves since the flag. and it's not just injuries, they had heaps of injuries during their flag year or is it just premiership hangover......hmmm
  5. thanks port - we are now 6th on ladder
  6. you must have a lot of spare time dv8........going back to posts from july last year
  7. just continuing, ethan. they do enjoy partying, esp dahlhaus
  8. dogs disenjoying home ground advantage as they drink their bathwater
  9. 1. we won 2. we got 4 points 3. did i say we won special mention: liked the clash strip, but should have been able to use blue shorts
  10. what's the problem? led all game. never headed and still plenty of room for improvement
  11. nice to see umps have thrown away the whistle - only 6 frees paid
  12. now that went out the window quite a few years ago, od, or weren't you paying attention?
  13. was all public (australia) pressure. without it ca would have applied the wet lettuce, let's not kid ourselves
  14. i agree. i got those measurements from a newspaper article. he did get 100cm in the running jump. niknak has the record at 102cm so he must be reasonably tall to do that
  15. i thought i said effectively that i disagree that this was the final straw for ca . they have been conspicuous by their lack of action and concern for all the bad behaviour nevertheless the punishment for ball tampering is excessive, it is not justice to punish someone for an offence based on what others have done previously and for what they are not specifically charged with. nor to be so markedly different from precedence 3 months (maybe 6) would have been more appropriate and still sent a harsh message
  16. height 194cm weight 93kg nice size too
  17. i see your point but also mr legs. whilst the icc standard ball tampering penalty of 1 match (+ some points and match fee) is manifestly inadequate, there is one hell of a big difference from 1 game for 1 person to nearly three years across 3 people (plus all the attendant $ costs that result) I think too that this is the first case that the offenders have actually owned up. In the other cases all sorts of stupid claims of innocence were made and du plessis even appealed one of his charges. some say that this instance was worse because of premeditation and complicity. You can't tell me all the other ones weren't premeditated and as for complicity we just wouldn't know because they all claimed innocence. to me they were all just the same - a blatant breaking of the rules and cheating, full stop bottom line, i think the final penalties were excessive and the players effectively punished also for all the perceived recent sins of the team i don't doubt the public outrage was increased due to the general bad sportsmanlike behaviour of the team in recent years and that this was a major factor in determining the sentence (fairly or not). this makes ca all the more hypocritical as they have had adequate opportunity over the years to do something about this bad behaviour but chose to ignore it and therefore tacitly give it approval
  18. maybe we just need teflon-coated carbon-fibre balls
  19. rather appropriate for easter, od being crucified for the sins of others, that is...............
  20. and btw, mods, the cricket thread in general forum seems corrupted if i select next unread or last post i get an error code. been this way for a number of days may just be me, for some reason, but can someone have a look at it please?
  21. lol, wyl is stuck in on-message mode, od should have been a pollie
  22. think the boys probably waiting for their infinitis
  23. now no need to be disrespectful, moonie. and in my childhood sepia was all the rage. just as long as you don't leave it parked on the street overnight in hipsroy, earl. spraypaint, vomit and latte dregs can be difficult to clean off. thought you'd be more a bentley man than a yank muscle car jock
  24. nah, just figured you and ethan would be big sheldon fans and i've graduated from play school to peppa pig, thanks to grandsons
