Gee, how much of a ****er is Shane Watson? U got LUCKY, the guy inside edged, and the keeper took a good catch! It wasn't your blazing speed that got the wicket, so tone it down, princess! Especially after getting so precious about Benn and getting him suspended 2 matches... At least Gayle had enough class to walk away.

I have to agree with you....Gayle showed a lot of class to simply walk away.

The way Watson carried on was atrocious.

Cheers

Don't get me started on this!! Haven't seen the Watson incident yet but always hated the way he carried on when he got someone out to make his figures 9 overs 1 -80 over here one year...
Match ref Broad doesn't piss around either - he'll get what's coming...

Only thing in the aussies defence - the Windies have talked a lot of smack in this series...

I very very rarely get involved in this type of thing in forums, but I wholeheartedly agree.

Shane Watson will never be taken seriously as a cricketer if he continues to behave like he did today.

He is not fit to lace most test cricketers boots, and I hope his shallow false-macho persona comes back to bite him.

Lol! I agree about the 1/80 comment. As for the Windies, a few players from both teams have talked a bit of trash, but I didn't expect it directed at Gayle, especially to that degree. Benn, Roach, I could understand. All Gayle has said that I've heard is his team can't take a backward step to Australia, and then after Adelaide he said he was looking forward to Perth, that he thought Roach would trouble their batsmen, particularly Ponting, and he thought they had a good chance to level the series. I haven't heard a lot of smart-ass stuff coming from Gayle himself, especially considering the heat he's been getting.

And the Benn incident when Watson was batting, I agree it was messy from both sides, I'm not defending Benn although I don't mind him, and seemed to have been building for a bit. But the Gayle sendoff seemed to come from nowhere.

What happened and Hughesy hit 122 i think.
Watson carries on so much when he bowls he like starts appealing everytime there is a play and miss and close leaves or bowl hit bad when its going down leg.
But Watson can bat(solidly) bowl(solidly) Hughes and is only a batter.

It was a crucial wicket in the context of an Australian win - I would have carried on like a little ***** too. Praying for a West Indies collapse not unlike this time yesterday...

Umpire: "Hmmm, should we go with technology, or the fact Ponting's appealed? I think we'll just go with Ponting, he hardly EVER appeals..."

The banter on the field has all been in good fun i think, and when Nash scored his 50 they all congratulated him regardless of what they'd been saying. And Gayle isn't exactly innocent either folks
Only thing I didn't like about Watson was how much he talked back when he was batting, which makes it harder for his and his batting partners concentration.
