Australian Test Cricketers - Over weight and over paid Wimps.
"JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE LOSING. NA Na NANA NA, What a petulant bunch of sore losers, spitting the dummy namby pambies, only a couple of players worth their salt. Read it in the Sydney Daily Telegraph.
Long gone are the days when a batsman was given a more gentlemanly departing statement like" hard luck old chap" when given "Out" following a gentle clapping of hands.
The spirit of the game has now descended to it lowest level, few teams would pass the skulduggery test. Likened to war minus the shooting.The weebix muncher 'Binga' heralded the 'AIR Punching ritual which sadly has been copied by other gormless bowlers, this is usually followed by the hyped up team members leaping on each others backs and patting each others Bums, makes one wonder what goes on in the dressing rooms away from the public eye.
The latest news on the test series in India looks grim for the remaining bunch of Ducks. Remember the days when it was a hard slog winning in Australia? But that was when they had their own umpires - mostly crooked.
It can only get worse.
Today in History.1946.March 13, The Battleship HMS King George V Returns to Portsmouth ENG. Ten months after VE day and seven months after VJ day. The steering impaired ship the former Flagship of the British Pacific Fleet left Sydney on Jan 6 1946, steaming a boring eight knots all the way. at the time the ship had been in commission three years in three theatres of war yet the average age of its crew was 19.5 years approx.Just kids.
I was an old kid of 19 and eight months. I retired 16-7-66 with all my teeth and no tattoos. oh I forgot, The RN still pay me a pittance.

Knowing by learning how to lose gracefully should be high on the OZ cricket team agenda.
Dennis Lillee and Rodney Marsh claimed more dodgy caught behinds than you could poke a stick at, present day tech would have exposed their trickery. having Australian umpires in Aus didn't help the cause for fair play. the Paki's were into all sorts of skuduggery period, having international umpires now has stopped local umpires from being helpful to the home team.
A certain high proflie paki was 'Out' LBW 3 times in ten years playing in pakistan, whereas he was 'Out' far more frequently on the arrival of International umpires.
To date: Rain stopped play in India.
I pity poor Frankie being dragged away from a seemingly quiet sedate and frugal life on the pampas in Argoland and being a Jesuit like Big Lugs a poss future newleader of OZ. Will Aussies become conditioned to 'J' Rule 13 and believe that white is black and and sometimes when convenient the complete opposite?.
Better be aware of notions like genius and inspiration; they are a sort of magic wand and should be used sparingly by those who need to see things more clearly.
By the way, did you know that baseball is actually rounders, a girls' game? So my mother tells me, she used to play rounders as a little girl when this place was a Brit. colony.
Am I wrong in thinking the 'Clogs' have left too and only the 'Frogs' are still in their devils island resort?
Been to several places in the Caribbean but not Guyana.
Thankyou for calling.X.
fortunately Bumble was wrong England fought out to a honourable draw, with Matt prior 110 not out while his partners made 8 runs between them. well done Matt.
