Now that everyone knows about his stress thing, I think Trott's career is over. He'll be welcomed back by taunts and people calling him coward wherever he goes.

I hope he knew, thats the sort of thing I reckon both camps knew about. I bet Pieterson was texting Warner the night before about it. I'd actually like Warner more if he knew about it and went for the throat instead of saying 'We're gonna break your fuckin arms mate'

They should play Bopara because he can bowl a little just like Trott and he can't bat just like Trott

I think this article is the last word on sledging. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2013/nov/06/shane-warne-sledging-ashesquote:Given how studiedly manscaped he is these days, it wouldn't be the most enormous stretch if trash-talking dandy Shane Warne simply swept into the Ashes commentary box on the first day of the series, adjusted his monocle, and declared that to be tired of sledging is to be tired of cricket.

Quasimango posted:I think this article is the last word on sledging. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2013/nov/06/shane-warne-sledging-ashes Isnt this all slightly missing the point of why players sledge. It's not some added theatre or an attempt to best your opponent by being funny. It's simply to be an annoying obnoxious arsehole so that your opponent breaks concentration for long enough to get out. Cricket is almost entirely a mental game. So if calling someone a hopeless oval office is good enough to disrupt their concentration for even a second it's a successful sledge. The media tends to over think something so basic little children can do it (being obnoxious to get a reaction)

It's certainly part of the game but nobody should be calling it a noble tradition or anything. It's more akin to pushing and shoving in football. Everyone does it and nobody bats an eyelid. Sometimes it escalates and people are punished. Sometimes nothing happens and players are drama queens. Same with sledging. Media focusses on it too much. edit : This applies only to the on-field stuff though. People like Shane Warne who rile things up off-field for publicity are garbage.

I'd feel bad for Clarke if the sledging was even remotely inventive, or even if it was at a crucial stage in the match.

Nobody really thinks that sledging is a noble tradition but the game would lose something if fast bowlers couldn't bounce a player and then call him a oval office. I always thought this was quite an amusing bit of sledging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlFF98dM8sA

It is loving sad that we lost the first test so bad that one of our opening batsmen quit the team. Trott can never play for us again.

That's because county cricket is played in front of genuine cricket lovers and lacks the nationalistic aspect. Imagine Trott returning next time to the Gabba. Can you really imagine the crowd there not taunting him with that kind of stuff? Or the Australian team?

Judging by the comments at the bottom of this Trott story on Facebook (posted by the ABC) with every second person calling him a sook/poof/soft, I think you might be dreaming unfortunately. At least there was a fair chunk of people telling the bogans how terrible they are.
