I thought the broken hand thing from Clarke was a bit over the top,, no need for that really but is typical of the Aussies and they will be full of it now. A lot of cricket still to be played and I think England will respond in the next test |  | | |

Cannot believe the double standards here. Verbal abuse is one thing but telling a bowler he is going to get his arm broken is way over the top. Imagine if a footballer was overheard threatening to break a players leg there would be no question of a fine more like a very long suspension. |  | | |

England's Jonathan Trott has left the Ashes tour of Australia because of a long-standing stress-related condition. Batsman Trott scored 19 runs in two innings during England's first Test defeat and struggled against the bowling of Mitchell Johnson. | | | |

Well neither are you actually. He didn't say that he was going to break his arm, he said that the bowler would break his arm when he put it up to him. This stuff goes on all the time in sport, in most sports at most levels in fact. | | | |

There was no need for it though, it's clearly a tactic to try and rattle England, it's certainly working as well but doesn't make it right | | | |

"He didn't say that he was going to break his arm, he said that the bowler would break his arm when he put it up to him"
Noise of hairs being split there
My point was the punishment for the action not the action itself, albeit I still think over the top. | | | |

Seems like there aren't enough players who can get gee'd up and pull their nuts out for the cause.Too much the defeatest attitude for me - ah fukkit we've lost this,let's get back in the pavilion.Without appearing too racist I would cite non english players as infecting the others with a couldn't-care-less attitude. |  |

I love cricket but the comment shouldn't have made the press. Grow a set for f**ks sake.
So what if he said he's going to break your arm. You tell him you'll break his face. | | | |

Now i see trott has gone home with related stress problems, you could see he wasn't right when he batted & its nothing to do with what warner said & thought that was disrespectful. | | | |

What makes me laugh......Is that all we've heard from the wingeing Aussies is them crying like big girls because Broad never did the gentlemanly thing and walked in England, even a newspaper joining in with it's childish we won't print his name campaign.
Yet they think it's perfectly gentlemanly to tell an oppo batsmen "get ready to get your f**kin arm broken"!!!....and to slag off our players in the press......ignorant c**ts! |  | | |

It was picked up by the stump microphone which is why it made the press, I don't think any of the England players actually complained about it | | | |

Ah one swallow doesnt make a summer.
I actually think the aussies are shooting themselves in the foot here. England will get back to basics, do what they have done for the last few years, but now with a bit of fk.u included, whcih i feel is sometimes missing.
Confident this series is far from over. |  |

Clark is on really shaky ground slinging shit. Someone should just remind of Lara Bingle who was famously "engaged" with an Aussie Rules footballer while being engaged to Clark who was playing in the West Indes. We couldn't be that nasty could we? | |

Fair enough then. the press should concentrate on the performance instead of some flippant comment | | | |

Lehman is not half the man Flowers is and you don't have to take cricketing loyalties into account o this, just look at Flowers' stance against Mugabe and tell me when Lehman ever did anything to compare. Flowers was also out of his league as a player. | | | |

Gary Ballance made his case for the vacant spot in England's Test top order as the tourists laboured on the first day of their match against the Cricket Australia Chairman's XI in Alice Springs. On a brutally hot day in the guts of the Outback, Ballance top-scored with 55 as England declared on 212-7 on a slow pitch with an even slower outfield. | | | |
