Matthew Hayden takes a controversial catch

[dosh228]

i love it how all these whinning reposts are from people from a certain area of the world

[mrvictoria]

It amazes me that people can say they would know if it hit the ground or not.. if they think that then they probably have never played a real game of cricket in their life and if they have they wouldnt have fielded in short

[T0MMO11]

Not a catch, but Hayden did nothing wrong.

[theuglyhairmonster2]

he probably didn't know that it bounced, it's one of those things, he just felt the ball hit his hands and thought he'd caught it

[CoolStoryBrosauce]

Impossible for Hayden to tell if it carried or not (it didn't appear to), but the umpires should have checked.

[Guywholikescookies]

Beatiful!

[shadowzone69]

Strauss did something similar...

[itemno1]

that happens all the time

[rockofalleras]

In case no one noticed Hayden clearly appeals for the catch which is fair play, its then up to the umpire to make the call.

[darkarty1]

not out simple as that.........

i'm aussie

[namishrean]

Have a sook u aussie bitches.. How could you lose to England. They aren't the best team around. I mean Swan fucked you guys. He couldn't turn it on a ferris wheel.

[momentofpride]

not a catch but still hard to tell from haydens perspective

[360CaRdGaMeR]

not a catch what a big idiot fucking idiot hayden 4 sayin that's a catch

[swanseadel]

Warne is a great bowler, how anybody can say otherwise baffles me. I remember seein his first test delivery over here, which was a little more that Gatt seemed to do!

However,before you think this is an Anglo-Aussie love in...

Lillee & Thompson bang in the short stuff, the Aussuies think it's fine, and anybody that disagrees is a "wingeing Pom", now when it's Larwood and Voce, it suddenly becomes a national incident!

Sportsmanship? Don't make me laugh!

[stj1003]

Warne is an ordinary bowler and got only tailenders at the expense of McGrath. His name is Mr TAIL-ENDER,

Warne took duiretics, which is a masking agents for drugs. He took duiretics because he took drugs and to cover it.

Warne is a cheat and a chucker.

He got away from chucking because He is an aussie, white and a racist.

Warne took diuretics, which is a masking agents for drugs

[RogerMelly42]

This is the 3rd place I have seen this post, are you Mike Gatting?

[vanlal007]

australian cricket= cheaters...

[aussiestuff]

Ganguly - claim false catch

Dhoni - "" "" ""

Dravid - Ball tampering

Gavaskar - LOL

Singh - Rascist and not leaving when you have been clean bowled!

get ur facts right

[vanlal007]

aussie sucks.......fucking cheaters....

[Ricox33]

You have no life noob. Matthew Hayden is a pro

[tinytuco]

Hayden is a well known cheat. typical aussie

[melammu]

Racist!

[tinytuco]

racist for having an opinion? hmmmmmm me thinks your not very clever

[melammu]

Everyone has an opinion, mate. But, those of us with a little nous don't make prejoritive statments about whole nationalities.

Me thinks you are just another intellectual low-flyer: all tip and no iceberg.

[tinytuco]

SO THAT MAKES ME RACIST? hmm me thinks ur a bigot.. and not very clever at all.. end

[aussiestuff]

my opinion is that India are the biggest cheaters in world cricket

[tcsonline]

soo true

[Exalt4KoRn]

It bounced before he caught it, you can see it bounce into his hands. If only they had the slow-mo thingy back then...

[carncatters]

bsuebq stop fuking embarrassing yourself

[bsuebq]

and whats the deal with not having a spinner? you guys now have no talented spinner in your country.. Jason is rubbish and so is anyone else who played in the last 12 months.. maybe they can get some illegal performance enhancing drugs from that cheating fat cunt Warne.. or maybe some rubber balls from the other cheating cunt gilchrist

[zaika21]

nathan heuritz is not bad

[bsuebq]

LISTEN PEOPLE, bottom line is that Aussie Cricket is just above average now and they are NOT the best anymore

[Footystar96]

Was it given out?

[aidange2]

I'm an Aussie and I think that's not out...

[xyran]

cheap ass twurp

[bsuebq]

hes an australian cricketer. obviously hes gonna cheat. btw aussie isnt the best team in the world anymore. haha

[powerfullchip]

that's still to be proven...and we've been the best for 8 years so it's about time we were challenged

[cheezie760]

ummm ok then who is the best team in world?

[bsuebq]

India and South Africa rank ahead of Australia now. I wouldnt be surpirsed if Sri Lanka (who now have Mendis who will probably end up the greatest bowler of all time) and Pakistan move in front of them as well..

[cheezie760]

no only south africa rank ahead of australia india doesnt and sri lanka will never get in front of aust

[bsuebq]

lol yes they are. invite India in this form to Australia again and the scorecard will read 2-1 India. Sri Lanka have a chance of overtaking aussies as well but it remains to be seen so no point arguing about that..

[cheezie760]

if u havent been watchin the south africa vs australia match then you would have heard that aust are still on top but if south africa win then they are on top

[bsuebq]

thats according to the ICC rankings.. since they take matches that were played many months ago into account.. its just a matter of time now.. Australia has lost more matches than they have won in 2008: how the hell can they be the best?

[cheezie760]

because they have won more matches than any other team. i bet most other teams have lost more than they won

[bsuebq]

INCORRECT. India South Africa and Sri Lanka have won more matches than lost in 2008

[cheezie760]

yeah but who have most of there matches been played against? so south africa and india are better accoring to your rankings?

[bsuebq]

Well Australia for one LOL.. South Africa and India are a better team than Australia according to 95% of cricket fans.. maybe not u guys in Aussie, but thats what people in the rest of the world think..

ps when it comes to ethics, Aus is the worst according to most

[cheezie760]

your head for one LOL.... yeah they may have better ethics but over all we have better players and cuz we the best and becuase we have been the best for a while now all the other teams get sick of it but they can all go shove it if they wanna be best they gotta play like it

[xratedcheese]

Erm... You may want to check the odi rankings pal...

[snowey13]

the only reason that 2 of these teams have one more matches than australia is because they've played a test series each against bangladesh. No offence to bangladeshis but we no they are not the strongest team runnin.

[bsuebq]

Thats just a bad response.. India played against top nations (Aus, SL etc) and so have SA.. dont make such stupid excuses pls

[01610]

Lol @ all the comments on this page.

pew pew pew Kj

[tut3080]

did anyone notice that he appealed to square leg to see if it was a catch...? then the umps could go to the video replay if the umpire had doubt.

[mab999]

What is it with Aussies and always cheating, they sure love Wanting to Win.

[noongar1234]

there is a big difference between south afric and australia sprotsman ship

[blackcommenthorse]

d ball dropped short cunt heads

[flymogram]

Hayden's a great player, but that was cheating, there's no two ways about it.

[willyupper2691]

frobishero if u knew anything u would know that in an interview he said that he didnt feel right in overtaking taylor's and bradman's record.

Warne mastered leg spin bowling which is much tougher to bowl the offspin. The ICC changed its bowling laws to try and end the accusations of Murali throwing. Murali has taken over 100 wickets against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe while Warne hasnt taken anymore than 10-15 against those teams.

[frobishero]

Sorry, as I dislike the man and I'm not Australian, I have had no opportunity to see that interview. I was quoting from an Australian cricket fan's site in which he was bemoaning the difference in attitude in the team which came about after the appointment of Steve Waugh as captain.

[handballseven]

willyupper2691 could not be more right about warney and murali. Muralis great and all but he has got a lot of wickets against weak teams. Also warney likes pies and beer, the sign of a true legend

[lclolla]

warne has taken more wickets of tail enders plus

he has a special liking for whores and drugs

A TRUE LEGEND

[showstoprakesh]

Thats no controversy because thats a no catch

[Chrisso9]

how good are the umpires?

[SnoopDicketyDawg]

another cheating Aussie

[jakkilla71]

hey snoop dickety doog can i remind u who won the ashes 5-0

Oh yea the aussies did

just coz we own the poms dont needto unleash ur anger here

[SnoopDicketyDawg]

Im Pakistani

[HoldenCaulfield]

good work at the oval, play on son.

[dirs43]

hey jakkilla this guy snoop is retarded by birth and like he said he's pakistani and accusing aussies of cheating! how ironic!

[ali566]

I never enjoy hayden's cricket anyway.

[JTR2006JTR]

haydos is bloody fantastic u thick head

[frobishero]

"Mark Taylor equalled Bradman's 334 for the highest score by an Australian batsman in test cricket. The runs came in a test match against Pakistan in 1998. Remarkably, there was opportunity for Taylor to play on and break Bradman's Australian high score, but he declared Australia's innings - leaving himself on 334 not out. Many saw it as a tribute to the great Bradman.

Australia's Matthew Hayden had no such thoughts when he scored 380 against Zimbabwe in 2003." Hayden is a knob. End of.

[moggoon]

Surely records are there to be broken. It shouldn't matter what the record holders name happens to be if the opportunity is there to brake records they should be broken.

[Defunkt25]

So if you got 334 and you felt as though you could keep going, as if you wouldnt.

[HoldenCaulfield]

so no australian is allowed to score more than 334 runs in respect of bradman. so if inzy hadn't fielded that one off taylor last ball of the day then what? disrespectful?

[frobishero]

Well, no, just mean that I bet if it had been Hayden in Taylor's shoes in 1998 he would have come out the following day and passed the record and it's a shame that the record is held by Hayden who got it on a road in Perth against a side that should have been stripped of Test status several years before it happened. 334 vs Pakistan in Pakistan is worth about 600 against Zimbabwe at the WACA in my opinion.

[TheNertsae]

@frobishero hayden broke a WORLD RECORD. What is your highest score? I doubt you beat 380 and Hayden did it in a TEST MATCH. Might not have been the best side but it is still an unbelievable accomplishment. And because he beat bradmans score doesnt mean he is showing disrespect to the great man. You the knob mate.

[napoleondynamite111]

Geez its so past!

[GeneralHanSolo]

reflex!

[fkiani1]

fucking cheats...warne's a druggie...aussie cheats

[imjacklol]

baked beans are not drugs!

[rdc227]

he hit it plain and simple

[TheInternet22]

that video replay is inclusive, and the only people who would know for sure whether, he caught it, would be himself and gilchrist.

[theblackone2006]

aussies are not cheats, hayden appealed to square leg to see if the third umpire can check the replay.

and murali has been cleared numerous times and been tested at australian universities. johan botha.... now thats someone who chucks. if murali is a chucker, then so is brett lee, shoab and co.

and if you dont acknowledge murali's bowling records because of his action, i find it hard to acknowledge the records of a DRUG CHEAT.

[oneworldonerace]

shane warne wasent banned for using a peformance enhancing drug, he took a diet pill that is a masking agent, and trust me shane warnes not that bright so thats all it would have been he just dident realise what the diet pill was

[tomtom285]

sukhsingh murali is an abosolutely hopeless fieldsmen. If you knew anything about cricket you would know that Shane Warne a) has a legal action (unlike Murali) b) is the greatest spinner the world has ever seen and c) is Australia's first choice slips fielder. The first choice slip fielder in the best side in the world....

[motameus]

how do the aussies cheat, all the pez nations like sir lanka and pakistan do, warne shits on everyone, the majority of muralis wickets are taken against shit nations like bangladesh and zimbabawe. warnes are against good nations. warne revolutionised spin bowling...

[moggoon]

Hit the deck. They should at least be able to police the game them selves. If it goes to ground don't cliam it HAYDEN!

[ssjtin]

indiawins you're an idiot. Notice that if he didn't turn he would have smashed his face on the ground you dumass.

[FlapJack2206]

Fucking cheat (Hayden) Alltough i have to admit warne is better, at least he has a legal action!

[skyworlka]

Not out.

[tcacVII]

That ball bounced up into Hayden's hands

[lazerbud]

Knowin the aussies, hayden prolly cheated

[sukhsingh]

Murali is a better fielder than warne! Warne is fat and cant field anywhere but slips. Even then he dropped the ashes at the Oval off Pietersen...Fat perv

[Drewska]

Warne is the best ever because he more or less made spin bowling what it is today. And he perfected about 25 different variations lol. And warne is a waaaaaaay better allround criketer who can bat and field, Murali has one test fifty which was a joke against bangla.

[FaKeID3NTiTy]

dude,calm down.we aint talkin about allaround cricketer.talk about spin bowling.and yes,atleast murali aint takin drugs to get high and try to get wickets.

[oneworldonerace]

your a fool, it was a diet pill, and whatever anyone has to say about warne or the australian cricket team is all out of jealousy, yeah we might be arrogent and up ourselves but thats because we are the proven best

[theblackone2006]

he still took a banned substance whether he knew it was or not...

[rhart49]

Yeah but don't judge us that yobo, I admit I loved seeing him play but he was so embarrassing for us off field.

[bobcatnation]

ur forgetting warne failed a drug test, caught on drugs

[hasanz2001]

Murali is actually a lot better than Warne! The australians tried to ruin his career because they knew he was better than warne, And he is!

[aznmarfia]

go fuk urself murali is a chucker

[matty08]

not out

[wasae]

hayden wat a cheater murli nd warne can not b compare

[robjarron]

Warne, he's a victorian, just like Merv Hughes

[HoldenCaulfield]

wtf. you still can't tell if its catch or not.

[twctopcat]

Apart from seeing it bounce lol.

[HoldenCaulfield]

where? i haven't seen quality footage of it, so you can't slow this stuff down and say it did.

[aussielegend]

muralia crap compared to warne murlia has alot of easy wiks from bangladesh and zimbabe where warnie hasnt warne is the best

[sukhsingh]

what a cheat!

warne aint the best ever, murali is!

[bimanfreak]

none of them r the best....wasim akram is!

[aznmarfia]

murali is a chucker. The 15 degree rule is a disgrace. End of fucking story

[blitypimp]

catch or no catch, warne is the best ever

[indiawins]

thats dishonest ... and its not that hayden didnt know that he had grounded it .. why else would he have ever made such an exaggerated diving turn .. he didnt need that for the catch .. but for hiding that he had grounded it ... bloody dog

[rhart49]

He didn't need it for the catch, he needed it to stop from breaking his face. Honestly I am Aussie so I am gunna be biased here but as for cheating I am still not sure. One thing's sure though and that's that Aussie don't make racist statements on the field, they do banter but honestly 'tree monkey', I am not trying to be racist here either but Indians are darker than Andrew Symonds and the living conditions of a lot of Indians are that of monkeys living in trees. Hope that didn't offend anyone.
