Here’s some footage from the altercation between Katto and Ghambir from the third session on Day 1.
I’ve watched it a bunch of times and from my observations there was a bit of argy bargy that almost leads to a run-out escallates when Ghambir try’s to tell Billy that Katich was cheating by getting in his way. Katto responds with “that’s f’ucking shit man”. Brett Lee comes past and throws a few inaudible words of support behind his NSW captain, then Katto and Ghambir are at it again and you hear Simon utter “F’uck off mate”. Billy steps in when it looks like they might up the ante, and Michael Clarke comes in to calm the farm. Clarke has to make a pretty solid effort of holding back Katich who by this time looks like he wants to punch on.
I’m sick to fúcking death of this holier than thou attitude of the Indians. Here’s a small compilation I put together of Anil’s boys showing how they play in the true spirit of cricket.
Just to summarise the events of that clip:
First cheat off the ranks is MS Dhoni claiming to have caught Pietersen where it clearly bounced. Big Keg walked cause he thought Dhoni to have integrity but the big screen quickly proved this assumption to be incorrect. KP actually returns to the crease and after a quick referral upstairs he’s given not out. Dhoni looks hard done by, I’m sure his mother feels the same way.
Next up we have Harbajahn Singh showing his true feelings on when a batsman should walk. Sure he was clean bowled by Kevin Pietersen, but ‘Bastajji’ stands his ground like the honest man he is. For good measure Pietersen tells him he’s bowled to which bastajji replies ‘Fúck You’. At least he didn’t say Bastard.
Finally we’ve got the then Indian captain and now middle order batsman leading his troops with his honour and integrity in the 2003 World Cup Final. Adam Gilchrist cops one on the thigh pad that doesn’t carry to Ganguly but that’s no deterent for Gangers to claim the catch. What is it about Sourav Ganguly that in the Cricket World Cup final he claims a catch after grounding the ball?
So there you have it. Indian’s crying about ‘crimes’ of which they themselves are clearly guilty. Let’s drop this stupid catching agreement and leave the umpires to adjuticate the game as they see fit. Well, assuming we can pick umpires that are approved by the BCCI, else we’ll be looking at another boycott. India, Harden the fúck up.
A dummy was found yesterday in Fremantle, Western Australia. It is Orange, White and Green in colour, and has the word ‘Anil’ written on the mouthpiece.
