I can't remember seeing anything like that from a captain and for that matter Siddle, what the **** were they thinking of, he should be in serious trouble for that big time. Nothing on snicko either.
Gatting and umpire Rana in Pakistan would be closest that I can think of. Certainly a long time back.

Feel a bit sorry for KP. He played really nicely, somehow gets caught up in a disgraceful affair, then gets booed for it.

Not a nice 20 minutes, horrible that one of the offenders takes a wicket.

There was snicko. No sound.

In 2005 the Ashes victory was amazing because we all admired the Aussie team. It made it so great because the Aussie played so hard and backed it up. There is little to like about this Aussie team and it starts from the top.

**** off Ponting you ****.
Think you are living in la la land if you expect to like every opponent.

Yeah, and look, I'm not trying to be inflammatory, but he shouldn't have been booed. I booed Ponting when he came out to bat at Headingley last summer, but when he went to 50, I clapped him, and when he got out, clapped him even more, for a great innings.

Don't blame the Aussie fans though really as I know that as a supporter you really believe your players at times like that.

edit - should add, the whole ground applauded him, not just me

Collingwood looks woeful out there. Would be typical of him to battle through and make the ugliest 60-odd you've ever seen.

How long has the review system been in place. Bit of 'entanglement' in this case as the technology brought about the conditions which led to the incident.

I was at Headingley that day and joined in the booing, but sort of enjoyed Pontings innings. It's always a pleasure to watch a great pull fast bowlers over mid-wicket with ease. And I clapped his innings when he left the field.

Just wish this booing lark would go away now, boring tbh.

And great a run-out is all we need
