Aussie Cricket Head Butt Post by: Strak 4 March, 2010 - 9:39 AM

Aussie fast bowler Mitchell Johnson has been fined for head butting Kiwi batsman Scott Styris.

You can see in the clip that he wasn't happy after Styris belted him for a couple of boundaries in the last over.

The Kiwis ended up winning the game by two wickets in the final over. Look, we don't like seeing the Aussies lose in cricket, especially against the New Zealanders, but giving it a bit of '...does ya muvva know how to sew?'... probably isn't going to be seen as very sporting like.

What really made it funny was that Styris was wearing a peaked helmet, which must have hurt Johnson when his head connected with it.

Are the Aussie cricketers bad losers?

  What was he thinking? It's like a junior cricketer who has spat the dummy because he got hit for a few fours.

  This is why the Australian's have such a bad name overseas. We just lose it completely when we aren't winning. The Kiwis still hate us for the 'underarm' incident. The weird thing is the NZ'ers aren't making that much of a big deal.

  I think some of our Aussie cricketers could be labeled bullies, which is never a good look and definitely not what being an Aussie is all about.

  Mitchell Johnson needs to, excuse the pun, pull his head in and maybe think about how to correct his crap bowling.

  It shows the Aussies are just sooks when they get beaten...Im embarrassed sometimes and sometimes barrack for the other team. Glad NZ beat them. Cockie buggers!

  Mitchell johnson should remember the hard and fast rule of limited over matches (be it 50 or 20) If someone is taking to your bowling, aim for midlle and off and keep it up in the block hole. Very hard to get slugged to the boundry if the ball is around a batsman toes. Glen Mcgrath did it. Simple adage, if they miss it, you hit it (the stumps) As for the attempted head butt, just makes Johnson a bigger idiot ....considering the other fellow is wearing a freaking helmet at the time!!!
