NZ are going to get creamed. It's fitting that this is the World Cup, because the best team in the world is about to win it.

Burn Down Canberra posted:Australia have some likeable players. Steve Smith is a bit of a poo poo stirrer but in the way most cricket fans like. More sanga than Warner. Haddin is such an old rogue its hard for me to dislike him and I think for fast bowlers Johnson, Starc and Haze are pretty chill. Not sure how you left Dave Warner off this list!!!

I'm hoping for an absolute bloodbath with hopefully Dave Warner being an absolute prick and scoring a ton. Also a Watto hat trick.

The reason all the cry babies get so upset about Australia sledging is because they do it while pretty consistently winning. Under Waugh and then Ponting Australia dominated cricket. They were terrible for a long time after 2007, but now that they're back on top the whinging and whining about them has started all over again.

Lionel Richie posted:I don't know, I suppose it comes down to personal preference as to where you rank racially aggravated abuse in the scheme of things.

Lionel Richie posted:I'd rate them lower than racial abuse tbh, especially for a country like Australia. For instance, I'd rank Michael Clarke threatening Anderson with a broken arm lower than what Warner did. Hahah yeah threatening to bowl a ball at someone fast enough that it breaks their arm during a game that involves bowling balls fast at people sure is similar to theatening to punch someone after a match.

Honestly it's pretty clear that "moral world cup winners" NZ are behaving like a pack of wild dogs in that photo. Regardless of when it was taken, players from this world cup were involved so I guess they are a disgrace to the game as well. Congratulations NZ (and the rest of the world)... you've won the "We're a bunch of nice guys (when it suits us) who are absolutely terrible at cricket compared to Australia" World Cup!! Unfortunately the trophy is made entirely out of the tears of your fans

Brad Haddin on England not wanting the big mean Aussies to be mean to them this Ashes (and hopefully also suddenly get much worse at cricket!!!!!!!!!!!!!): http://www.news.com.au/sport/cricke...y-1227423130034 quote:The last time a team tried to smother the Aussies in kindness, cricket’s most relentlessly aggressive side came back even harder. Even if Australia lost a few admirers for getting in the face of the loveable New Zealanders in the World Cup final, the record books show they came away with the prize. If England aren’t bluffing with their charm offensive, Haddin says Australia can prove again that nice guys finish last in cricket.

Is there actually any evidence that David Warner is racist aside from him asking someone who he was speaking to to use a language that they both actually spoke and understood?

Smorgasbord posted:That's a weakass false equivalency that you can't possibly defend, If you think every team does it you clearly don't watch any series not involving Australia. Here's noble English player Stokes being reprimanded for sledging Marlon Samuels a couple of months ago. I thought this stuff only went on in series involving Australia?!  Of course Samuels went on to score a century in that innings. Turns out England sledges too, but they're just a lot worse than Australia at it. Just like cricket in general I guess

Smorgasbord posted:If you think the same level and frequency of 'sledging' (actually just crude dickheads spewing obscenities in opponent's faces) occurs in non Australian games then you're beyond reasoning with. There's no doubt whatsoever that Australia is the best in the world at sledging, just like they're the best in the world at cricket. The fact of the matter is that pretty much all countries do it, but apparently it's only some abhorrent blight on the sport when Australia does it. Sour grapes indeed.

BrigadierSensible posted:No. I'm not arguing that someone punching someone else is right. Alcohol was involved, we have differing accounts of what actually happened and Dave Warner has done his penance and him and Joe Root have shaken hands since then. I'm still waiting on some evidence that Warner is racist apart from "he asked someone he was talking to to use a language they could both understand". The issue here is whiners making out that the Australian cricket side is a pack of villains just because they're the best in the world at what they do (mentally disintegrating teams while beating them at cricket).

Shmoses posted:If you're suggesting that telling an Indian guy to speak English doesn't at least have racist connotations then I think you're being disingenuous. So if you were having a heated exchange with someone and they were talking in a language you didn't understand instead of the language you both spoke and understood you wouldn't ask them to switch? Do you have brain damage?

Like in most international sports English is the commonly shared language in cricket, for better or worse. If someone was yelling at me in a language I didn't understand I'd ask them to use a language we both spoke too. If you can't understand that then you're being disingenuous for the sake of villifying a big mean Aussie.

International cricket player is shouting at another international cricket player in a language he doesn't understand. The abhorrent monster asks him to use a language they both know quite well that they both speak and understand. PLUS HE'S AUSTRALIAN SO TELLING HIM TO USE A LANGUAGE HE CAN UNDERSTAND MAKES HIM RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
