Stuart MacGill was sacked from Tiverton Heathcote in his early career, banned from the game in fact for a few months for swearing and abuse of opposing players and umps, and even his own players, Aussies you got to love them
Yeah ponting is a nasty piece of work, I always admired Waugh, he was flinty aggression and hard as nails, Ricky always looks like hes going to throw his toy from the pram at anytime. Best batsmen in the world though
aye. His hissy fit about being run out by our sub fielder last Summer was the turning point of the Ashes for me. Up there with Keegan doing his "I'd love it" speech. At that point, we knew we had the Aussies on the back foot. they knew it. the whole world knew it. And it was their captain who had announced it to the watching millions.
No matter how many records he breaks or how many runs he scores, that will always be his career defining moment as he goes down in history as the man who lost the Ashes.
