[King hit]

Well poised test here

Ever see Bob talking about the marriage diversity reform? He then changes tack mid interview into psychotic crocodile discussion.

 

[King hit]

you been listening to Bob Katter way too much

Another reason to avoid it

Noone ever said Canberra was pretty. Its famous for government jobs, cold weather and bogans who turned up for summernats and never left.

North Qld has lots of gorgeous spots it seems.

Not strictly true. Canberra and surrounds can be quite pretty, especially in spring or on a late summers arvo.

It's a perfectly acceptable place, it's just not my style. I grew up an ADF kid but always lived on the coast. Family on Dads side from Newcastle, mum's mum in Forster. Country living doesn't agree with me.

Too hot. And I'd rather a dog in the backyard than a crocodile

Well its not much different from wondering whether Brisbane will flood this year or if Western Sydney will burn.

Are you defining Canberra as country and Newcastle as city?

There was a vid floating around FB that was basically a mash up of maybe four or five interviews where he just snaps mid sentence. Hilarious.

No? I'm defining Canberra as country and Newcastle as coastal....

Hey farging anywhere in Australia > Anywhere in England

Oozie is playing way too much from the crease for mine, looking with the hands while his head is back at the crease and weight on the back foot

he is like Cook in the first 3 tests where as he needs to look like Cook in the 4th test and get to where the ball is

he looks like he is gonna nick the ball at any time when in reality he should be leaving a lot of those balls that he is reaching for

Unless you're one of the few who can do an endless summer - summer in England and summer in Straya, NZ or USA.

I'm not - but I know of a few.

They started Day 2 half an hour earlier and Australia still only bowled 31 overs in 2 hours and twenty minutes. They only got 82 in six hours of play on day 1. Basically got a full day to play and we're still short. No excuse for rain either.

Ffs that's pathetic. Wasn't even worth it starting early. Made up nothing.

Australia needs to be fined hard and heavy for their slow overs. Smith should miss a test or two and then it'll never happen again.

The dream. Aussie summer somewhere along the coast, anywhere from the NSW South coast up to FNQ really. Aussie winter in Penang, my favourite place.

I'll add Penang to my list. Malaysians make great food too.

Penang is the best food in Malaysia, too. Being such a hub for trade over the years it's a massive haven for foodies.

Phil Tuffnell just choked on his durry and dropped it.
