Ashes Wicket Celebrations
« on: July 27, 2013, 09:34:12 AM »
I am an Aussie and looking back at some of the wicket and winning celebrations over the past couple of tests got me thinking how outrages they were. I think the English bowlers have ridiculous celebrations, and in particular Graeme swan (as well as his catch to send agar walking). Is it just me? Or do you poms see Aussies acting the same way in your eyes?

easier to celebrate when you are winning.

you don't celebrate quite as much when the oppo are 300-4

Any wicket I see England get against the Aussies, in my eyes, is outrageous  ;)

The only celebration I have really been embarrassed about was Shane Watsons...  :-[

Ridiculous celebration by Shane Watson vs Chris Gayle

That "celebration" lost Watson a lot of friends in Australia.

After that, everyone viewed him as a (No Swearing Please).

Nothing he has done since has altered that perception.

I am a big fan of Swanny, but his celebration when catching Agar wasn't warented, a number 11 on debut has just made you look a second rate bowling attack, be thankful that he got out, not celebrate in that manner

Celebrations are A spurr of the moment thing. And you should never judge someone on that.


I'd rather see swanny and Watson do what they did, than the ridicolous rehearsed celebrations the footballers do as a team.

Be funny to see how the Aussies would celebrate if they batted a day lol.

In honesty I just think England are really enjoying smashing the Aussies into the dust, after having done to us through out the 90's and early 2000's its payback time.

The Swan celebration for dismissing Agar was an odd one. I was at Trent Bridge and by that stage most England fans seemed to want to see the kid score his ton. It seemed a bit OTT and inappropriate at the time, but then you watch the footage and Swan is one of (the only one?) to go shake Agar's hand on the pitch
