He listed McGrath as a player who was involved in sledging incident that went too far, but he didn't say whether it was McGrath doing the sledging or the one being sledged.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 05-03-2018
McGrath was not a smart sledger and Sarwan's response nailed him. Unfortunately Jane McGrath had cancer at the time so Pigeon was most aggrieved..... But he only had himself to blame in that case. If you sledge expect it back with interest.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 05-03-2018
I note that CA rolled over to the BCCI re next summer's test schedule. Expect roads over here and potholed dust pits next time we tour.
Appears Indian batsmen are allergic to the merest hint of a blade of grass on a pitch, something about their averages falling apart.

Langar is more of the same as Lehmann , its one neanderthal replacing another...Gillespie is too outspoken and free thinking to get the job.
Agree with the Prof on McGrath, not real great at sledging...the Eddo Brandes famous sledge is about the best thats ever gone down in cricket history...

I think he implied it though ... in any event, there were a lot more incidents he could have highlighted and though McGrath was no saint, Sarwan crossed the line IMO.

I thought Lillee's "sh1t end" sledge was quite clever, because it worked so often in many circumstances!
You can go back through the old footage and find batsmen after batsmen looking at the toe of their bat.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - deags - 05-03-2018
It's been said before, but I don't get how putting Langer in as coach is changing anything.
He was a massive tool when he was playing, very intense and very aggressive. Infamously took offence against someone, can't remember who now, and put on the whole "I'll fight you out the back of the sheds" routine.
Interestingly I heard Voges on the radio this morning saying he has changed and adapted, hopefully that's the case.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 06-25-2018
Geez, we had the Poms 8/114 in the 30th over and lost!
Are we shell shocked, or did we just pick a sh1t week to give up cocaine?

We needed more sandpaper....180 grit on the circular usually gets it done for me...
Poms play good one day cricket thanks to all their local comps and we had our regular test attack out, never going to win that series especially with Warner and Smith also out...Butler and crew just dined out on our second string attack.
