I’d rather have a night on the waters with Uzi than a night on the piss with Scissorhands Wade.

Good thing about Bancroft in the test squad is that he won't get a chance to scratch out a 50 in a shield game that would get him in the starting XI

Plodcroft doesn’t even need to do that to get picked.

Don't do it. Pucovksi hasn't been the same since he had Langer in his ear all game in that day/night test against Sri Lanka. Scarred for life it seems.

Of course Wadey probably wouldn't give anyone a chance to speak.

Get called in for work at my number 1 job the first day of a test summer. Planned on watching the cricket tommorow but going to work at a place that doesn’t f**k me around is great.

At least I’m going on Saturday

He wouldn’t get a run at the Dragons. When your coach drives around pissed on the way to work and the team plays like they spent the whole week at the Cringila Hotel on the sauce, you wouldn’t be a “good bloke” if you didn’t partake.

I'm a public servant now. And my boss is in Sydney.

Gonna see if I can't get away with taking the laptop to the tea room and watching the 42 inch TV your tax dollars bought

Against his will, the curator at Brisbane’s Woolloongabba Cricket Ground has dropped in a section of nearby Vulture Street into the pitch after the powerful Victorian Football lobby demanded it.

Cricket, which once-upon-a-time featured pitches with had their own distinct characteristics from ground to ground, has suffered the indignity of being lectured by a Victorian in recent years which has seen every major cricket ground in the country abandon the year-round pitch in favour for one that’s simply dropped in sometime during spring.

And as Australia has picked a strong pace attack for tomorrow’s first Test against Pakistan, the pressure was on the Gabba’s chief grass snipper to come up with something that’ll secure a home victory.

An assistant groundsman at the Gabba, who asked to remain anonymous, spoke briefly to The Advocate about the pitch (which is illegal and heavily frowned up) and why Victoria should learn to tolerate the rest of us like we’ve learned to tolerate it.

“We went out last night with the saws and chopped a section out of Vulture Street and dropped it in this morning,” he said.

“Not that we wanted to. But it should net a good result for Australia. Flat track bully David Warner is in dire need of bulk runs. This pitch has less life in it than The Duke of Edinburgh so he should be smacking the Pakistani spinners around the ground all day tomorrow,”

“There’s no turn in it, either, so spinners will effectively become medium pace bowlers. This is the reality of cricket now and it’s all the VFL’s fault. She should start wearing kneepads and gloves if they’re that scared of being tackled on the pitch.”

The first Test against Pakistan starts tomorrow in Brisbane and will be screened live on Channel 7 between ads for shit you don’t need.

Is that article a gee up?

 

[Twizzle]

Everything they do is a gee up but any suggestion that the Gabba may be a road is poorly researched
