He allegedly looks like Jarryd Hayne?

I didn't want to say 'date rapist'.

But when you look at it, they're both in blue and yellow...the similarities are astounding. Don't you think? I didn't before. I mean I do now. Come to think of it.

When they turn the stump mikes up and we can hear the Indians sledging in Hindi my involuntary impulse is to say " 1 beef vindaloo and some naan bread, cheers"

 

[_snafu_]

This match will be finished today judging by the batting display of our spuds.

If an Australian gave a send off they’d be charged as a War Criminal.

This is one of those pitches JJ talks about but in reverse.

A road when India bat.

A minefield when its our turn.

When does the tennis start?

Not sure,you took my TV guide in the divorce settlement

Jadeja is dangerous

The Indians know how to bat like test batsmen. The pitch was dead early but soon the uneven bounce started and they patiently occupied the crease and accumulated runs. We have nobody capable of getting a 300 ball century. That is a different kind of skill from going at 4 an over. We are not winning this test. At best we can bat out time, but recent history suggests that will not happen either.

Our nice blokes would never dream of making a joke like that.

Kholi looks like the cat that ate the canery feathers and all. Don't blame him really.

Im not a Warner fan at all, but the other two blokes are every bit as responsible for the Cape Town bullshit.
I'l slot Smith and Warner (despite him playing shit away) straight back in on the weight of past performances. If those two merkins cannot get along, f**k off the troublemaker.

I found it weird that Ponting and Slater piled onto Bancroft “for trying to protect his brand”, but not a word mentioned about Smith throwing Sutherland and “Ol’ Mate what’s-his-name” under the bus with the comments of Smith being told “We don’t pay you to play, we pay you to win”.

I’m pretty sure Sutherland wouldn’t have finished the comment with “by any means necessary, including cheating”. So that shit is still on Smith. So why the comment at all if not still trying to pass the buck.

This whole character “re-build” of Smith is cloying in the least.

It’s pretty easy for Smith to come out and say that shit now after Sutherland is gone. But it does smack of Smith still not taking responsibility.

For mine, Smith has come out of this looking like a total bitch. That image of him whimpering in the press conference was pathetic, but Ponting was on tv yesterday saying Smith should be next in line for captaincy.

If they make Smith the Australian captain again it would show that they haven’t learnt anything from this whole fiasco.

F*ck me, has there ever been a more self referential commentator than Shane Warne? The number of times he starts a sentence with "As I said..."

Yes, lol at anyone who mentions the word brand when referring to a person. Is this who we refer to individuals these days?
