eddie Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 3 hours ago, Squid said: Lehmann is resigning now. Much of that may be down to his bleating about the South African crowd giving his players stick, this coming just afew months after he told the Aussie home crowd that he wanted them to barrack Stuart Broad over his not walking at Trent Bridge to the extent that he would be 'sent home in tears'. In other words, blatant hypocrisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 This Aussie cheating story couldn't have come at a better time for the current England squad - it's taken most of the attention away from their dismal shambolic performance in the first test against NZ. They go again tonight and if there's no big improvement then they'd better watch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWC1983 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 That Smith Press conference was a difficult watch. Smacked of someone who had been thrust into the captaincy but didnt have the personal skills to do the job. Now its all played out worse than he ever thought. I feel for him, that was a man totally caught in the headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make no mistake at all the ONLY thing they regret about all of this is that they were caught... Don't forget it was only a couple of months ago that the lot of them were giggling like schoolboys in a press conference about the "head butt" They deserve all the poop poop thrown at them all.

Yes, he cheated, just as most of the cricket family have over the years. On a humane level I think its gone OTT, so I do feel for him. To be rolled out and face up to the media took guts. Whens the last time a footballer had to do that when theyve blatently cheated? I cant think of anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a fine and maybe a small ban, but I think had he been an England player, he'd never have been allowed anywhere near the team as player or coach following the racism. Funny how it's never mentioned, not that I've seen or heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how it's never mentioned, not that I've seen or heard. In South Africa, he whined and bleated about how unfair those nasty South African fans were for booing his fine upstanding players. I thought for a while that there were two Darren Lehmanns - the sensitive one and the obnoxious hypocritical scumbag who told the Australian crowd that they should barrack Stuart Broad so that he 'went home in tears' over the fact that Broad didn't walk after edging a catch to the keeper a couple of years before. One thing that has been interesting to watch in the fourth test between South Africa and Australia is the fact that even though they are getting thrashed, the Australians are playing with smiles on their faces as opposed to the usual sneers. I honestly think that the ones that remain are relieved that the rotten apples have now been scraped out of the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will watch the highlights later. Sounds like we got obsessed with bowling short in the final session, when we could have persevered with Leach from one end and pitching it up at the other.

About time Broad had a good match. He has been poor for quite a while, and just when you think he can't last much longer in the team he has an absolute blinder.

Phoenix Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 The ECB are introducing an 'exciting' new concept of 100-ball cricket. "The ECB believes the concept will help to appeal to families and a more diverse and younger audience, and provide some distinction from the T20 Blast." I thought it was an April Fool's joke when I read it. Can't see it doing much for Derbyshire cricket. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/43824037 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
