Australia Vs. India Test Series Thread

[Neil Young]

Why did the Australians have nicknames on the back of their shirts?

How very informal and relaxed of them.

[MARTINOZ]

Didn't realise they had a ground big enough!! Was it the MCG?

Yeah mate - the G.

Seriously Neil, I know it's a big joke on here, but what age are you exactly?



Oh and this is the first time I have ever used the multi-quote thing - it's fairly handy.

How do you use multi-quote - have never been able to get my head round it

All will be revealed in due course.

Now, why did they have nicknames on their shirts? Is that what happens in this version of cricket or is it an innovation? I haven't seen it before, that's all.



Well, when I say that's all, I mean I also thought it looked a bit desperate.

I agree, it’s downright weird.

I don’t know the nicknames of Australia’s reserves….but say McGrath was playing…would he have had ‘Pidge’ on his back?

TRANSCRIPT of audio picked up from the Channel Nine stump microphone of alleged incident between Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds at the SCG Test earlier this month.



Symonds walks up to Harbhajan at the end of an over.

Symonds: "Go and yell at your teammates .... You called me monkey again."

Matthew Hayden: "Twice. You've got a witness now champ."

Hayden approaches Harbhajan.

Hayden: "That's the last time."

Harbhajan: "No listen he started it."

Hayden: "Doesn't matter mate, it's racial vilification mate. It's a **** word and you know it."

Soon after, Michael Clarke approaches umpire Mark Benson.

Clarke: "It's not the first time. He done it in India and got into strife. That's the second time he's done it."

Captain Ricky Ponting walks up to Benson and gestures towards fellow umpire Steve Bucknor.

Ponting: "Go and tell him. Go and tell him straight away."

What does "Teri Maa Di " mean?

[Joe King]

What does "Teri Maa Di " mean?

Let's say, he shouldn't be kissing his mum with that mouth

Let's say, he shouldn't be kissing his mum with that mouth

- what's the English equivalent?

Glad he's been cleared, but why oh why didn't they sort it out in the dressing room rather than go through this rubbish.

You're hitting fifty aren't you?

Don't see the problem with the nicknames to be honest. It's just a bit of fun.

How is it 'fun'?

[dww]

If England did that in any sport there would be a sudden national shortage of letter y's to be added to the end of half the players names.

Teri = Your
Maa di = mother's

[DeeGame]

Teri = Your
Maa di = mother's
