It's The Ashes (again)

[Ted Maul]

So much outrage. But it's justified when roles are reversed.

Eh?

I think I'm more outraged by the Australian's getting all upset at being called out for it. If you don't want people to call you a cunt, don't act like one.

Ted, you know perfectly well that the Aussies objected to being verbally abused as they walked through the Long Room back to their dressing room. Nowhere else in top level sport can the public get so close to the players. If MCC members can't show a bit of decorum in that situation, then maybe MCC will have to change their rules and keep the members away from the players.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction? Did none of the Australians as they walked through the long room at any point think "blimey mate, wonder why Horatio is so ticked off?" - if you play stupid games you win stupid prizes and after all it was just a bit of name calling. I suggest they suck it up and carry on as it's Headingley next. As I said play stupid games, win stupid prizes and all that.

RS - I too find myself agreeing with a lot of your cricket chat, so apologies for the industrial terminology, wasn't aimed at your good self... was however aimed at Cummins & Co.
