warri0r45 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 ONOZ! THEYS HAVE TO WORK HARDER AND THROW THE BALL HARDER!!! IF THEY DONT GET BETTER THEN THEY WILL ONLY BE MAKING A FEW MILLION A YEAR!! ITS AN OUTRAGE!!!!seriously, do they have to work 3 constant jobs in order to pay school fees like a lot of people do who end up not even making as much in their lifetime as these players make in a year mate, you just dont get it? do you? you dont understand the game of cricket nor do you have any respect for the way we feel about our cricketing heros. The facts are these: they have to work extremely hard thier whole lives if they are even going to stand any chance of being selected for the australian cricket team (where the 'few million a year' [as you say], are) even then they have to work very hard to maintain thier place in the team and the respect of the fans. Now the purpose of this topic is to discuss the life and achievments of Shane Warne. the next time you start to stray from the topic, im not even going to dignify you with a response, as all you are saying is unjustified rubbish.

warri0r45 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 now that that [cabbage] is behind us, i thought id discuss Warneys performances lately.. Brisbane - not really too many wickets here, the wicket never really suits spin here as it does in the other grounds around the country. Adelaide - wow! second innings was incredible. Shane bowled a huge spell and looked a constant threat to the batsman, eventually snagging about 4 wickets (and a run out) which was possibly the catalyst for the turnaround of the match! Perth - As damaging as ever, especially when australia had the foot to the throat in the second innings when facing the tail enders and Pietersen. How about that last ball against Panesar the first over after lunch? : The Ashes are ours!! With a great effort so far from Warney. It will definately be some time before we find a replacement even half as good as Shane Warne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenkore Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 as the maker of this topic i would like to say something it doesn't say ANYWHERE that you have to agree with me that he is a hero they were my words,that's just how i see him, as a cricketing hero.ok + cricketers do have to work very very hard to get into the national team,regardless of their talent.

The topic is about the cricketing achievments of Shane Warne. Thats it - any other discussion shouldnt be here. (im aware of the irony in my comment, but ive posted things about the actual topic beforehand.) You said these sports figures have to work very hard to get where they are which makes them a hero, and I just kind of said any kid whos gone to college or finished high school has worked harder than most of these people your narrow mindedness really annoys me, not everyone who plays sport professionally has a perfect life, they have to work hard. Let me give you an example so you can understand what im saying - Glenn McGrath (australian test player, announced retirement today) grew up in the bush and when he moved nearer to sydney to play cricket, he had to live in a caravan. seriously, you should just drop this, its an argument of stereotypes and really getting annoying and childish.

Nadril Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I hate baseball, so no. I dont think anyone is a hero because they are born at being good at a form of entertainment. I agree with NadrilThat's not the point, there are people all over the world who are "heros" for being good at x sport, so your "what has the world come to" is a pretty weak statement. That I agree with, "what has this world come to" was fairly weak. However, I still stand by that giving any person who is a "sports star" a title of hero is just lame. The word Hero always seems to be thrown around loosly. To me, a hero is someone who did something of great importance. For example, some of the WW-I or WW-II heros that we hear about.

warri0r45 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 For example, some of the WW-I or WW-II heros that we hear about. mate, i dont disagree with you for a second on that one. I truly believe there are no greater heroes than war veterans. But that dosent change the fact that Shane Warne did something of great importance in the game of cricket - he showed test cricket what spin bowling really is and made watching cricket for millions of Australians a worthwhile and exiting thing. Now you may not be able to accept that, but millions of australians (and indeed some poms) can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame a lot of it on bias though, tons of arguements go on around here where respected people do the same thing I was doing (arguing with everyone and didnt give up) and arent banned, but not many people like me anymore. I even apologized because I realised what I was doing was wrong and guess what? that imbecile deleted it to try and make me look like the bad guy. The reason I might of been banned though was because I reminded a mod that he didnt have the authority to do what he threatened to do, if thats the case then thats just lame :roll: I just wish these forums could be what they used to be 485th person to ever play RuneScapeBlue107- perm banned 10/12/2007. $300 USD reward if you can get me in contact with someone who will take 5 seconds to look at evidence and get my original character unbanned.

You act like its the most popular and most important sport in the world when only a handful of countries even have it as a sport Firstly - im not acting as if its the most popular or important sport in the world - thats soccer. (do some research and im sure youll find im right) Secondly - cricket is different from many other sports - its history, the players, the teams, the culture, and the integrity of the game are all unique. To blabber on like you are pretending to know everything about cricket when you clearly know nothing is nothing short of an insult. The bolded text in the quote is an extremely ignorant statement - id like to see you face a ball from Shane Warne mate, it would either be a catch (if your lucky enough to even get your bat to the ball), a stumping, because you have no idea where to place yourself on the crease, an lbw, because you would have no chance defending your legs, or most probably, your wicket would be bowled over, with a ball coming around or across your legs. Or how about a 150 kilometer an hour fast ball bouncer from Brett Lee? No doubt your untrained eyes wouldnt have time to pick up the ball and it would hit you square in the chest, shoulder, arm, or head, leaving a nasty bruise. Now im quite positive that I would get out in either of these methods if I faced a ball by Shane Warne as well. And, quite positive my untrained eyes couldnt pick up a bouncer from brett lee and i would get hit. If you knew anything about cricket, youd know that the game is not easy - many good players have come and gone without playing in the Australian team or with only having played a handful of tests. The best of the best that have the chance to even make it to the top team in thier country have endured countless hours of training and countless matches in lesser-grades to get to where they are. Your continued argument that 'sports-people have easy lives and dont need to work to get where they are' is offensive and insulting to anyone who has ever played professional sport.Not to mention the millions of fans who admire these peoples athleticism, professionalism, determination and perseverance to do the best for thier country[/b] ANY OTHER STATEMET YOU WANT TO ADRESS TO ME, PM ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your knowlege of the game seems to be lacking. You seem to have forgotten these parts of the game.. The facts are these: they have to work extremely hard thier whole lives if they are even going to stand any chance of being selected for the australian cricket team (where the 'few million a year' [as you say], are) even then they have to work very hard to maintain thier place in the team and the respect of the fans. not to mention they have to work hard to win matches and series such as the ashes. You think they have an easy time doing that? The two best teams in the world, and you think it all just comes naturally to them and they get centuries and 5 wickets each innings? Its not an easy game, as you suggest, let me assure you. Your continued argument that 'sports-people have easy lives and dont need to work to get where they are' is offensive and insulting to anyone who has ever played professional sport.Not to mention the millions of fans who admire these peoples athleticism, professionalism, determination and perseverance to do the best for thier country i can accept that you dont like cricket, i cant accept your argument (summarised above in my quote) perhaps your just jealous that australia won the ashes... :lol: :boohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
