" Some suggestion from those with better local knowledge than me that we could be in trouble for the rest of the day. There is a lot of rain to west. "
 
How do you know it was.

Presumption of guilt?

i don't know for a fact that you DIDN'T kidnap the Beaumont children so I should just assume you DID? That how it works?
We all know it was reported that Indian players didn't want to go to Brisbane so Paine made the comment to Ashwin but it was directed to the Indian team.

Hence what was all the fuss about that exchange? I thought Ashwin reply was actually funny but I can understand why it might have been hurtful to Paine.

I think Paine did absolutely nothing wrong from a sportsmanship point of view, except swearing at the umpire.

But his sledging of Ashwin was amateur schoolboy stuff and got the quick comeback it deserved. Then Paine lost his cool and blabbed on about selectors and his overseas average, lol. Pretty desperate stuff.

It just sounds moronic. Especially coupled with everything else he said. Wouldn't it be easier and smarter to say "pressure on them here boys, wouldn't want to have to go to brisbane and win. No one has done it in 32 years. Doesn't want to leave his teammates needing to do it this time around."

You called it 100% right. He sure knew he'd done the wrong thing by Blocker didn't he. Puckered up with that one. Just look at blocker glaring as he gives you out. I wouldn't be swearing at em
 
fu** that maccas drive-thru ad is the lamest sh*t i've ever seen
Are you referring to a certain advertisement featuring a rather portly chap, who circles through the drive-through on numerous occasions, in an attempt to order a hipster coffee void of any flavour and caffeine content, whilst not waking his newborn?

Paine said they couldn't wait to get him to the GABBA, and Ashwin's comment about his career ending in a years time clearly got to him. It wasn't a sledge but a reply to his comment.

Sentence too long.

My goodness man, have you ever, in what I assume is at least a twenty year long existence, uttered a positive word about a cricketing nation that is not Australia?
 
4:30 restart time

On another note watching Warners 335 v Pakistan last year it is hilarious how bad their fielding is. They are kicking balls for four.
