Another snub from the snobs

[Cheer Squad]

He also captained us during arguably our most successful run ever. His approach was a success, and our attitude is what helped turn Australia into the feared cricket team they became, and still are.

That does not excuse his behaviour at all. If he was so good, why did he need to cultivate such an ugly culture of poor sportsmanship?

It doesn't excuse anything, if he indeed needs to be excused for anything. The attitude and arrogance were part of his aura, part of what made him great. Sometimes Australia as a team overstepped the mark, but in general the effect Waugh had on the Australian cricket team was a positive one.

what about the qbe stand or something, the ford stand.

Make some money out of it.

Call it the Bevan Stand and both the cricketers and at least one RWO member will be happy.

That is actually a very cunning solution. Its down the end that Bevo has quarterbacked so effectively from as well.

Bull@@@@. Attitude, arrogance, mental disintegration...they're all just polite terms for poor sportsmanship, for injecting ugliness into the game. A truly great player wouldn't need to do it.

Most universally hated and despised skipper since the Harold Larwood. Who also had some success - won the ashes, terrified the Don and cut his av erage in half.

Apologies to the memory of a great fast bowler. Meant Douglas Jardine of course.

Won a spelling bee a couple of years ago. Those 6 year olds didn't know what hit em.

You clearly cheated or had a stand in.

So you're a Kiwi Al ??

[bedford]

Agree with all that. That goose Cavalier pushed the naming of the Pat Hills Stand, now the O'Reilly Stand. Hills was the most useless ALP hack in the history of NSW politics and that's saying something. i reckon they should call it the Barry Round Stand. Not because he was our best ever player but because he led us with great pride and ticker during the tough early days in Sydney. No doubt they will name it after the arrogant little turd Steve Waugh.

spot on,a lot of people wouldbe shocked if they knew what an ordinary human being Steve Waugh is,but his bropther Mark is one of the best

[NMWBloods]

A lot less people would be shocked if so many of them didn't view sportsmen as demigods.

[swansrule100]

who cares what the stand is called? as long as you get a decent seat and a good view you can call it the bum fluff stand for all i care

Aren't the banners being turned into glorified ads every week up there enough? The Multiplex Living Megastand (complete with spa bath & walking machines & exercise bikes)? The Pfizer Drugs stand, for though of you who get off on pseudoephridrine?

And who'd get the money? You guessed, the evil flogger burners at the SCG Trust!

JF:-I will NEVER forgive them for what they did to us back in the bad old days. It was not the fact they burnt all our stuff. It was the fact Bernie Purcell & co sneered & laughed at us when we asked why they did it. They probably thought "that bunch of losers. Let's kick em while we are down" And they charged us $27000 a week rent so that we would be struggling to even make evens.
