He's a cretin and he is just upset that his poor captaincy cost the aussies the chance to take a 1-0 lead.

Yep should have declaired about 30mins - 1 hour earlier!

looking for someone else to blame cause of hes inept captaincy. He's probably the best batter in the world but also the worst captain around and hes a complete and uter tool too

How he can talk about the spirit of the game considering a) the Australian attitude towards the spirit of the game for the past I don't know how many years and b) the way he attempted to claim that catch of Collingwood when he got nowhere near the ball is laughable. The sign of a desperate man.

Absolutely. They really don't like it when someone plays them at their own game.

Still, after his outburst about substitute fielders and run in with a spectator in 2005, it wouldn't be an Ashes series without Pricky spitting his dummy would it...?

Good point, well made.

Excuse me, but can you please stop these scurrilous accusations against Mr Ponting please? Don't you know that it's us lot who are whinging Poms, all brave Sir Ricky is doing here is voicing legitimate concerns. Australians never whinge, got it?

a few underarms will fix it

Ah, the Trevor Chappell approach to sporting fair play.

Thank you for bringing that particular example of Australian cheating to the forefront of my memory, alongside Webber attempting to run Barrichello into the crash barriers off the start on Sunday.

You're a spiteful lot when somebody actually dares to compete with you, aren't you?
