where does he say that he did?

edit: yeah, i found that article @ baggygreen- those idiots- why don't they report williams as well!!

 

[copious]

it doesnt matter if he didnt say anything or not. even if someone points their finger to the dressing room telling the batter where to go, he can still get reprimanded. and as with brad williams, there probaly wasnt enough evidence, visual or verbal..as it wasnt caught on camera i think.

 

[Rahul]

pathans actions were uncalled for. idiot!!

BUT, personally i like to see a bit of "up yours" attitude from the indians.

It was even worse than that actually..India were 5/17 prior to Dev's 175. (Good old 'Complete History Of World Cup Cricket'.) India won the final by 43 runs.

Yesterday's final was an interesting, if lopsided game to watch, such as Australia scoring 74 runs in five overs. In that sense, Hayden was right to get out when he did.

 

[lolzieee]

yesterdays game was bloody boring...
but after watching cricket for 2 months it tends to get boring (for me anyway )

seventy and seventeen sound too similar!

ganguly should have complained about the "something that someone said bout something" in sydney , who cares if it blows out of control, its not like martyn was worried about that happening.

yeah, after copping crap from the aussies all these years!

 

[freaking_out]

also i think they didn't reprimand brad williams bcoz 2 out of the 3 umpires were australian- hence they didn't report him! Idiots!

and also what abt. that glare at ganguly's face in the wacca- when brad williams ran up to ganguly and stuff!

 

[freaking_out]

btw, i like this funny quote by ganguly who said this after they asked him abt. pathan:

Ganguly said jocularly, "I keep telling my boys that everytime they get aggressive, my match fees get deducted. I keep telling them to be careful because at this rate I might land up with no money after this tour."

also check out the new ratings that are out at the moment:

:rofl: ... very true... he already lost like 80% for the slow over rate.

i remember dravid saying during the 2000/01 tour "when they do it (sledging) its called gamemanship when we do it its called misconduct and we get fined"

seems like officials and umpires have india ticked as the worst behaved on field, even before the match...they should look into the unfair decisions and do something...its not that difficult!
