welcome to the club!

welcome to the official whinge & bag Australians site.

Did he get any with a slower ball though mal?

Well done Faulkner on cleaning up the swinging tail.

Only 1 slower ball wicket Sleepy
3 with his faster balls

The wickets of Bravo and Gayle were important

Yes they were important. Gayle stayed for 40 more balls and wi might have won.

Rant:
James Faulkner's "celebration" after dismissing Gayle was very petulant and childish. Getting your third or fourth wicket in international cricket when you are about the 20th bowler in line for your country, only playing because of injuries, and you dismiss a bloke in his 242nd match, highly regarded as one of the best short form batsmen in history, who was carrying an injury and forced to swing away because of the state of the game, and tell him to "expletive deleted off," I don't know who you think you are, but George Bailey should have knocked you the expletive deleted out and saved yourself embarrassing your country.

Rant over.

[CENTURION]

well bowled Faulkner, bowl at the stumps & get rewarded.

NorMAlly I would agree
But it was Chris Gayle who has a history of giving the verbal to Australian Players
He has had a go at Michael Clarke in at least one Test Match
He has had a go at players in the BBL comp as well
So Chris has been an antagonist in the past , and maybe that was a reason why James gave it to him

Otherwise it was poor of James to carry on like that

Maybe Chris questioned the bowler's talent and it bit him in the behind

i like when guys show a bit of passion, as long as it doesnt go too far.

rather than people gettin wickets and just walking back to their mark like they dont care

Faulkner gave him some short ones and a barrage of abuse in a BBL match earlier this year, I wonder if he'd do the same in the dressing room?

Good to see that Faulkner was excited about playing a role in only his 2nd or 3rd game at international level by dismissing of their biggest stars. Also good to see that our Australian side are giving it to the Windies as they sure as hell dish it out. Our side needs to rediscover that killer instinct and giving a bit to the opposition isn't a problem to me.

Great point there Bloods. That killer instinct is the main thing that kept us on top of world cricket in the years gone by.

Although, why being aggressive and knocking a couple of blokes is awsome (especially if its one of the biggest hitters in the game) and gets you pumped like Faulkner was last night I do think he went a bit too far. Sometimes in the heat of the battle you forget where the line is, everybody's done it.

[whufc]

Love the press conference.

Michael Clarke going on about Watson will bat in the test side where they think is best for the team etc etc a pity that rule doesn't exsist for every player in the side

Good call, but that's going to be his crowning moment!

It was just payback. Good on him. In the PM's XI game when he came out to bat, Gayle who was a sub stood right next to the pitch and gave him a barrage of abuse. This lasted a couple of overs.
