Gilchrist - A Cheat??

[Alaska]

If I had a squash ball in my glove when I batted, it would have hinded my performance, not helped it.

I think after reading all the posts (including racist ones??).
It is only a training aid that you would use to rectify a problem if there indeed was one.
How could you claim that it gives an added advantage unless it was shown to have been significantly better (like he Aluminium Bat).

Just try using one! [/b][/u][/size]

I think you would have to be very special to make it work?

Ahh I understand!

I hope that the rules will always assist the different physical specimens in different ways.

But then we now have to put up with a nob as a selector??

Reb cricket is the one sport in i which I don’t actively follow one side passionately I jut like to see a fair contest and I respect all competitors unlike yourself.

Au contraire May-Z, I do respect all competitors but that doesn't mean I have to rate someone who I don't think is world class (like your mate Andy Caddick). Real respect is earnt, like the respect I afforded to one of my favourite batsmen of all time Viv Richards, or one of my favourite allrounders of all time Ian Botham. Last time I checked, these two blokes weren't Australian, despite their Qld experience.

Storm in a cup of Dilmah (not the bowler) if you want my opinion.Even if you dont.

If anything Gilchrist did had been contrary to the rules and or spirit of the game,the only spot something should,or could have been done about it was out on the ground.

Cricket officials cant do anything to penalise him,nor should they.

funny thing about the whole caddick issue is never rated him particularly highly until you guys started bagging him and i had acloser look at his record and it is pretty immpressive considering he was playing for england. its easy to give respect to genuine stars

I have all natural fingernails, too. Does that mean I'm allowed to use them on the ball as well?

He has got a point scoob..... there was no need for him to put a device in his glove that assisted his batting.... I say there should be a protest..... 2nd v's 1st....what do you reckon MT??????

UPHELD!

Not any more the wankers @ the ICC got the rules changed to make him legal

[am Bays]

personally i dont agree with him doing this as he is obviously doing it to help his batting. wht options do bowlers have to try and artificially improve their perfomance? none, just another way to make the game more batter friendly

Vasaline over the eyes to stop sweat getting into them, sunscreen, mints......

Not bad for the shine of a ball either.....
