I detest Sreesanth as much as anyone, particularly one sending off he gave to Gilchrist in his final few matches in Australia after declaring his retirement. But Harbhajan has always rubbed me the wrong way, in part how the team reacted in Australia after his allegations vs Symonds, but mainly because he is an arrognat ****.

Both equally punchable IMO.

Yea I figured you hated Harbhajan because of that whole Symonds incident. I have no idea what actually happened since both sides' version of the events are so different so I'll leave that alone.

Sree reminds me of those girls on Jersey shore that get drunk and start slapping the roided up guys around and when they've had enough and shove them aside they start crying about "how can you hit me, I'm just a girl?". What the hell does he expect is gonna happen when he keeps talking **** to Smith, Hayden etc. guys that are twice his size and then running to the umpire the moment they start getting pissed, sooner or later he's getting his ass whooped off the field..

I don't know, I've always disliked Harbhajan more. Sree just seems kinda harmless, like Nel was. Almost like a pantomine villian that nobody takes seriously. Maybe it just seems like that because Harbhajan is better though.

One thing about Sree. I missed the game but vaguely recall him bowling a beamer to Pieterson and in the same game bowling a bouncer (to another player) off a huge no-ball (about a yard over). It beats me why they didn't throw the kitchen sink at him given his previous form.

The phrase "biggest little bitch in the game" just fits perfectly for him. Not sure he's bad for the game though, though he's tiresome for anyone that watched him for more than 5 minutes.

Wow Collingwood looks in terrible nick. He'll probably grind out a score but I think his test future's in serious question.

Cook gonna Cook.

Beefy laying into Hughes. I think it looks like he didn't catch it and he knew he didn't catch it but on the off chance that that's not the case I'd reserve such harsh criticism.

I mean it's possible that it's one of those cases where the ball actually bounced in the fingertips but the footage can't convincingly show it.

And the reason why Harbhajan is OK in my books is that he has nigh on 400 wickets to his name, including that phenomenal haul of 32 wickets in a three match series against the Aussies in their pomp ten years ago.

Whereas Sreesanth is a whiny little bitch who has achieved very little and has the sort of attitude which suggests that he'll continue to achieve very little.

Collingwood gone. I'll be pretty surprised if he actually lines up in the next Test match.

Forget the fact that it obviously bounced, look at Hughes' body language in the two or three seconds after. It tells the whole story.

Grats to Cooky though on his third ton of the series.

The body language of Hughes and Haddin gave it away entirely. I actually thought it looked really close on the replays but just from how those two reacted it was obvious they knew it hadn't carried.

At the absolute worst they couldn't have been completely sure so claiming it the way they did was pretty bad.

Can someone please explain to me the merits of a right-handed bowler bowling around the wicket to a right-handed batsman?

Diasagree, he knew he didn't catch it, hopefully he just got carried away.

Very unlucky not to get Bell caught behind, bad misuse of the technology.

otherwise lol Australia especially all the whinging at Beer's no ball

+1

Did you hear the reception Sree got when he came out to bat yesterday? Not that often a Newlands crowd will boo a player.
