The funny thing is how Cricket Australia knew all about this but still promoted him to captain after a the ball tampering episode. Twitter is very funny. Last tweet, see here. Article aged like milk
the thing with aus v eng is that it's a traditional rivalry due to the obvious reasons in cricket, no holds barred and sledges recorded on tv are quite funny to both sets of fans looking on, but aus v ind can be quite toxic, not many privvy to either team but dare say insults by either camp are probably much deeper than what we consider banter, it's quite a sad time for cricket fans right now, but personally i just think folk 50+ just have a different sense of humour that growing up was funny to us with no real offense meant but now not acceptable to those who dare not speak up at the time which i get being in a minority back then i watched an only fools episode today where delboy uses the "p" word and also had steptoe & son on which also has racist comments in, do i now stop laughing at the classic english comedies? i absolutely love the goodness gracious me scene where the indians go out for an english, can we get that banished along with the basil fawlty german scene? i'm not saying what's right and wrong but it's just my sense of humour, i don't mind been called a 6 fingered dingle just google harry enfield yorkshireman, it's a total pi55 take of yorks/blacks/gays and sexist but hilarious to me anyway, 7am start to them cockney'*****'southern'shandy'drinking'puffs.... oh i mean down south
Paine won't play any part in the ashes series despite what some of the Aussies are currently saying, he's finished. Its likely that Alex Carey or Matty Wade will replace him, both of whom are better batsman. Let's not forget that Paine was the first Australian captain since 1988 to lose a home test match at the Gabba (India won there the last Australian summer). I think the Aussies will be stronger without him and what do you reckon that Steve Smith scores a huge amount of runs again. I bet we still can't work out how or where to bowl to him!!
I think it's the episode where they build a nuclear fallout shelter, it's a early one as it's Grandad and he says something to effect that a ‘P**i’ shop would remain open in the event of a nuclear attack.
I just can’t see a way of us getting Warner, Smith and Labuschagne out cheaply enough over the series to cause enough damage. The rest of their side only have to chip in and they will get enough to outscore our feeble batting lineup.
