Ok…Here comes the………!!!

"Why are you complaining about someone complaining? Now i'm complaining that you're complaining about someone complaining!!! "

Let me guess Dernbach... you are ...errr...English! Am I right? LOL...

Err... it was a joke Pandi.... errr, don't get your knickers in a twist....

Anyway, it is a big test. I agree with what Broad is saying.

I'd be delighted to lose 4Kg, if I'm honest....

Chunders

"If Broad said it wasn't tough in SL, you may have got offended in the other way..."

Ey? Why should we? He is not talking about the quality of the opponent, is he? He is saying "mummy it's too hot! My knickers are loose"

"Err... it was a joke Pandi.... errr, don't get your knickers in a twist...."

Oh yeah...I know that! Thus my "LOL" to you!

Shh...dont tell anyone...Dawn French was playing cricket in SL for a few weeks...have you seen her now?

But for us English, playing in 15c is effing hard!!

Any link to the article?

My guess is that someone asked how Broad was coping with the heat and he answered truthfully.

Shock horror.

C'mon Pandi, show me a pum that doesn't whinge, it just goes side by side with a cup of tea and bacon buttie.....

Stuart Broad on the heat “Sri Lanka is the biggest test of the lot .. a few of the guys have lost up to 4kg’s in the first two sessions"

He said it was very hot. fact. Something the players have to contend with. How is that complaining.

Did he say it was unfair?
Did he say it was wrong?

No. By your measure every time somebody states a fact, it would be comlaining!

To be honest it's not as if every time England go on tour they have sat at home for 3 months prior......these players chase the summer around the globe to play cricket......the only time they would feel the cold is in their air-conditioned rooms......even when England do leave from home for OZ for intance they usually arrive in mid-Nov. for Boxing Day test which is 6 weeks climatisation in the nets and lead up games.....not that I'm suggesting Melbourne can be compared to Sri-Lanka by any means where you can cook an egg on the roof of your car..... but they should/would be used to the heat...just keep the fluids up that's all.

It's not the high temperature that's the problem it's the humidity. Very hot air takes in a lot of moisture so every breath draws this moisture into the lungs. For sportsmen who are running around and taking deep breaths it's very demanding.
