Hey Wanker, heard of Phil Hughes? A friend to these blokes. Show some respect you dickhead.

I think Pietersen is being taken out of context and only talked about it as a hypothetical.
And the fact it was even in anyone's mind is because of the bullsh!t England were serving up and were allowed to get away with.

Hypothetical or not it doesn’t need to be said. Period!

That will happen when we bowl, nothing surer.

Right on cue, absolute cheats

Do they check all catches, are they allowed to get involved of their own volition, or do they have to be reviewed to by the on-field umpires? I always thought it was the latter, and did it happen in this case? Im not aware that the umpires did, i was watching at the time

But Australia messed up in that last hour of play by going back completely to that short ball stuff to Dunkett. 4-down for bugger all, why not really attack him with some quick bowling at the top of off and 2 slips and 2 gullies. See whether he really is Test Match material.
They did this first and to be fair Dunkett absolutely smashed them behind point

And can you imagine some of players in the past putting up with that short pitch stuff for so long (98% in the middle session) and not firing back at the Poms or making some sort of point - "how about bowling it at the ******* stumps" etc etc -like when Chappelli pulled the off stump and banged it in on the edge of pitch coz of deliberate wide bowling.
