England vs India - Second Test - Lords
First topic message reminder :
Seeming as we have such a short turnaround thought I'd stick up a thread
England have added Simon Kerrigan to the squad interestingly. I'd imagine he must be in serious contention, or else what's the point of adding another body?

If you abuse a person in crude ways, a response is just a matter of time. And no way should Anderson have continued the conversation the moment he was off the field. And getting physical, that is absolutely no go zone.

To be fair there is a major difference between a spat in or around the field of play and an alleged assault on someone in a pub.

Its all a lot of my dad is bigger than your dad rubbish
So they squared up after a heated exchange? Jesus these are grown men not in bloomin year 6 at middle school
Pathetic from India to report it, pathetic from the ECB to respond. Both look like absolute jubblies

Re: England vs India - Second Test - Lords
After India's Gautam Gambhir elbowed Australia's Shane Watson, the former got a ban and the latter got away with it even though he was the one who provoked the confrontation. There was a similar incident with West Indies spinner Suliman Benn in Australia. It is Anderson who started the confrontation onfield, it is he who got physical. Jadeja might get a fine, but Anderson deserves a ban if he has gone physical. No way should it be underplayed or the message sent out that anything can go in the name of sledging.

Really KP, you're doing yourself no favours spouting this rubbish.
Just to take your examples here. Physically assaulting a player? Which England player has done this? Anderson, you mean? So your just assuming his guilt then?
Urinating on the pitch? After the Ashes test you mean? A nothing incident for which those involved apologised.
Using the 'c' word on air? Strauss you mean? Who is employed by SKY tv not the ECB? How could the ECB discipline him for something he did while not in their employ?

JD, things happened off the field in this case isn't it? And the important point that cannot be glossed over is that things allegedly got physical. You can't start distinguishing between a minor physical attack and a major one, that would lead to the game being completely disrepute.JDizzle wrote:msp83 wrote:If you abuse a person in crude ways, a response is just a matter of time.

Yes, there is blame to aportion but of course you can distinguish between a minor physical attack and a major one. If Anderson took a swing at Jadeja that is completely different to Jadeja reacting to some, admittedly crude, sledging and getting in Anderson's personal space and Jimmy pushing him away.

Re: England vs India - Second Test - Lords
It surprises me how many are taking this "push" to the extreme. If Jadeja has got up close to Anderson, invading his personal space, then Anderson has every right to create a bit of space between the two. Now I'm not suggesting he pushes him to the floor, but if he were to use his hands to move Jedeja further back then that in no way deserves a ban. Unless this was an aggressive push then I don't see the point of making it such a big deal. Having played sport for long enough things don't get forgotten once you leave the playing field.

Anderson has denied the allegations. ECB have to back him. If it is proved that he is lying that is the time to judge the ECB's actions.

Re: England vs India - Second Test - Lords
If it comes down to adjudicating whether it was a hard slap or a little pat, a gentle push or a hard shove, we are getting into difficult and impossible domains. Nothing physical, that is the least check that is needed on the nonsense of legitimized abused in the name of sledging.JDizzle wrote:msp83 wrote:JD, things happened off the field in this case isn't it?

That's conjecture based on your own prejudices.
You, however, would treat it exactly the same and would be calling for a 2-4 match ban for Anderson as minor 'assaults' should be treated identically to major ones.

I remember the Benn incident. Is it that much different? Also, there's still no evidence either way... Best to wait, otherwise there will be serious egg on face on one side, yes? Let's relax guys.

You can tell the difference between an aggressive push and just creating some space between two people, it would be quite clear.

More than the specifics of the incident, what riles me is the attempt to legitimize physical contact in the name of sledging. Can't be allowed, just can't be. Doesn't matter whether it is Anderson, Gambhir, Benn or anyone.kingraf wrote:I remember the Benn incident. Is it that much different? Also, there's still no evidence either way...

Re: England vs India - Second Test - Lords
Won't be the easiest of tasks in the middle of a right royal spat. It is the context that is important. Anderson wasn't navigating a crowded pathway and making a bit of space for himself to move about, it was continuation of an onfield spat. The perceptions matter a lot here.hampo171 wrote:msp83 wrote:The problem is, who determines whether the push was aggressive or not?

I don't care who's pushed who quite frankly, its complete rubbish and nothing but playground antics you'd be ashamed to see between kids. If there was a full blown altercation its a different matter, but it seems they've had words and might've laid a hand on each other. I can't believe its even a story, and I can't believe the ECB have gone boobie for tat and complained against Jadeja

Re: England vs India - Second Test - Lords
There is also no evidence that it was an aggressive action though like KPF keeps trying to make out. For all we know it could have been Jadeja getting in his face and him merely pushing him back, in my opinion if Jadeja has done that first then he is in the wrong and should not get a lighter punishment. But we simply don't know.

Game is run by not what individuals think but rather by the laws of ICC
your saying so is still a POV......of an individual
when ECB talk in the same tone...then it is sad and shocking....for they have to operate and act under the ICC's legal framework.

The likes of Michael Holding and Curtly Ambrose took wickets and the likes of Sunil Gavaskar and Geoff Boycott scored runs without abusing the mothers, wives and sisters of opposition players or without pushing and shoving them around. So any suggestion that sledging and getting physical in the name of it is an integral part of the game is absolute nonsense.

Pretty much agree with that. Very much seems a massively inflated fuss.
The only comment I would add is that two strong captains each with an ear to the ground would have ensured this ended immediately as the damp squib it was rather than allowing it to escalate into what threatens to be an inferno fuelled by hysteria and counter claim.

its called the ad hominem syndrome.
and is the first sign of the other guy....at loss of an argument.
btw no one here is stupid enough to not know what has happened in the anderson / jadeja case.
Their best face saving argument " aah its a small thing, not required ICC, let it blow away"
If the foot was on other shoe....ie Jadeja charged the same guys would have been invoking ICC laws, penal clauses and upholding the spirit of this pristine game.
