I am greatly disappointed in the behaviour of the Australian Cricket
Board on the present New Zealand trip.

Players are paid to play cricket and should only be allowed leave the team to return home for either bad performance, player illness, family loss or devastating family illness.

Todays players are behaving like sooky soccer players and are delivering poor service to their country by deserting their team.

They should be prepared when given the great honour of wearing the baggy green to leave their partners and family at home.

Cricket players, wives and partners need to harden up and realise that Cricket is important, and certainly more important than leaving the team for some reason other than a serious one.

I agree gg- unless Lara B was seriously contemplating suicide or something, I don't get it.

That said, I wish the media would stop all the coverage about Lara- I'm bored with it already and the journos appear to be after her blood. Perhaps she shouldn't have had an affiar with a married AFL moron, and then sold her story of woe to all the trashy magazines. Clarke would have been justified in telling her to sort it out until he comes back from NZ.
 
I don't understand why your good self, GG, was not called upon to fly to Sydney to comfort the poor girl. This would have been good for her, good for Michael, and good for Australian cricket. A win-win-win outcome.
 
or better yet why wasn't he called up to take clarkes place in the side? An absolute outrage!

Lara Bingle reminds me so much of Schapelle Corby in her photos

Its in the eyes.

I am not a cricket fan so no opinion : )

To be honest mate I wouldn't put my hand up for that ignoble cause. I've been there and done that with the rich n flaky.

Australian cricketers should be picked using an extra filter as Ricky P , says , either be single or in a stable relationship.

I mean this is Cricket for chrissake, not some duckwaddlingkissykissypawrubbums exercise like Soccer, NRL, ARU or AFL.

This is serious. Its our Nation's essential Sport.

Cricket - a game that can be played for 5 days and still result in neither side winning. What is the point of that.

Give me football any day, skill, athleticism and if we are very very lucky this year, the world cup

That you have made that comment negates anything you say regarding cricket in the future from further consideration.

Much the same as someone admitting that they do not understand the offside rule and then proceeding to lecture you on football.

As for the Clarke soft-out to console support Bingle. It is reflective of the whole cricket team to a degree. There are no real characters in there any more. Symonds was probably the last man of any real character and he was ostracised in the end. The team is now inhabited by a pack of self-indulgent metrosexual limp-wristed quiche-eaters.
 
Why not send Lara in as third drop? She is used to playing on a sticky wicket, she can obviously handle a middle stump or two and is used to playing with balls. Get rid of Clarke ... hopeless EMO IMO.

Who is this Lara B anyway?

I thought the name was B Lara and that retirement happened quite a few years ago following one of the most distinguished careers in the game. Actually playing, that is.

 
The main cause of the decline in the standing of the Australian Cricket Team is their slavish forelock tugging to the Media and Sponsors.

Hardly anyone attends most games and they had to change the colour of the spectator seats to give the impression anyone was at the game some years ago.

I blame Benaud, that South African mumbling deserter, Lawrie and Taylor for the present malaise.

The players think they are "Stars" and forget about the Cricket.

I personally have absolutely no interest in who they are shagging, female, male or blowup doll..

The ABC Radio is the only media mode I follow about cricket, its intelligent, pertinent and professional and I don't get hassled by some chimpanzee of a commentator to buy some useless dogs dish signed by " all the team "for $200 a month for six months.

The TV commentators sound more like those spivs flogging funeral insurance to oldies in the ads.

And nothing beats actually being at a Test.

And the Australian Cricket Team, their coaches and management and the selectors are bloody wooses.

GG easily your best post
 
who cares ?? cricket is yesterdays game, old, slow and boring, thats why they are trying to reinvent it , only country that takes it seriously is Australia..and a few other third world colonies....

If Clarke had any sense he'd show some real guts and buck the system, give up this stupid game and spend the rest of his youthfull healthy life in bed with Bingle , and could always have a game of park cricket with his mates at the weekend, if he really felt like it, and have a few beers after,
This is the sort of attitude that used to define Australian blokes, but no, he will grovel, do as he is told, and beg at the foot of the corporates and media shakers and makers , shamefull behaviour for a grown man, albeit one that plays cricket..
Come to think of it, the SOCCEROOS who will be playing in this years soccer world cup finals in South Africa, which is without arguement or doubt the bigest sporting event to come around every 4 years, are on the face of it a much tougher and harder mob than those wimps who play cricket, so it's understandable that these little incidences are pumped up to give cricket a bit of interest, otherwise we'd all sleep through the summer,, how many people actually know the score in NZ , indeed , I think it's fair to say that the majority of people who play , watch , or support cricket, are in the whole , out of touch , soft, wimpish and possibly brain dead..
 
ha! I would hate to think how long they would last if Clarke gave up cricket.

He would become a nobody and Bingle would move on to the 'next one'
 
Clarke needs to be dropped from the Australian Cricket Team.

It has been reported by the Sydney Morning Herald that Lara Bingle has "lost" his ring down the toilet of their luxury Bondi unit.

http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/peo...l-to-plumbers-in-the-night-20100313-q532.html

This type of injury is certain to limit his ability to maintain a long innings and he is now more or less useless to the Australian Team.

A brave visit by local plumbers to plumb the depths of hacienda Clarbing, failed to turn up his stones.

Bradman must be spinning in his grave.

What an utter disgrace when our cricketers are representing their country in New Zealand and a future potential captain is involved in a wee ringed circus in Bondi.
