MARK WAR IS CONSIDERING PULLING AUSTRALIA OUT OF WORLD CUP
===========================================================

Due to the pitch invasions that have taken place at the end
of their matches (And also every other match !!) Mark Waugh
is considering pulling out of the competition because of
fears for the safety of his players. He has lodged three
seperate complaints, one after each of Australias' matches,
and he says if there is no improvement in the stewarding
they will be forced to withdraw.
I thought it was supposed to be WHINGEING POMS !!
COULD THIS HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT IF
AUSTRALIA LOSE TO THE WEST INDIES THEY ARE OUT ANYWAY ??
C'MON LADS ADMIT IT, YOU HAVE PLAYED POORLY, AND BLAMING IT
ON THE FANS ISN'T GONNA FOOL ANYONE.
TAKE IT ON THE CHIN LIKE MEN, DON'T WHINGE LIKE LITTLE
GIRLS, GOD KNOWS WE HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME BOAT ENOUGH TIMES
IN THE PAST.
Comments Please !!

    and Bookie money taker from the Pakistani tour of 4 years ago...............
    This anti- australian, Anti-American attitude of yours will only win favour with some of the other pommie bastards and the Canadians..........They make up less than 7% of the TTYc. You are backing the losers again.

    You do the Australians and Americans too much credit by
    being "anti".
    I just don't think about them at all.



  4. I am not anti-Australian at all Added by: Cloutty

    I lived there for a year and love the place !!
    its just a bit of banter thats all. I have suffered a barage
    of piss taking due to Englands inept sporting performances
    for years and its nice to 'give some back' for a change,
    there is no doubt that te Aussies are World Beaters at
    proper cricket, but this one day tournament has exposed
    weaknesses that everyone else did not believe existed.
    Whingeing Aussies, now there's a turn around, and it was
    MARK !!

    but you are wrong...."his players.." would refer to the skipper and the skipper is Steven Waugh...Mark is his brother..........and quite frankly, he is entitled to voice his concern on the safety of his players and threaten to pull the team out should security for the players not be increased.
    Look what happened in the West Indies only 4 weeks ago.
    The Australians are being jostled by the crowds, the pakis in the latest game...and quite frankly it is just not cricket.
    No team or sport, regardless of the actual sport, should have to be placed in a situation of the field being invaded with an unknown quantity who could cause physical injury to the opposition team players.
    And you are Anti-anything that is not English, mate, that is a known fact.

    The article says Mark Waugh !!
    Also iI am not anti everything English, I expected better
    from you !! Of all the countries I have travelled to the
    Aussies are the closest in their sense of humour to the
    Brits, I expect some Americans to take things the wrong way
    because the humour is very different but, c'mon you realy
    should know better.
    I agree about the safety issues for the players and what
    happened in the windies was out of order but, no-one has
    been harmed and it seems to be high spirits thats all.
    Anyway you will be going home before the super sixes so, it
    realy shouldn't bother you that much !!



  7. sorry that should read Added by: Cloutty

  8. Yeah,..haha...but it , my posts,got you going Added by: Nirvana fan

    didn't it, mate??
    I wouldn't count the Aussies out of it yet.if NZ can beat the Aussies then anything can still yet happen.
    What odds for Scotland and Bangledesh knocking of the Pakis??

    Cloutty is correct - it was MARK Waugh who said it. And I
    actually agree with him. We are playing like shit and now
    we're acting like it. But what do you expect with dickhead
    Shane Warne in the team. Geez it's hurting me seeing the
    Aussies play like this but for christ's sake a decent
    all-rounder or two wouldn't go astray. Where the hell is
    Andrew Symonds?
