Do you reckon the commentators are under contract always to describe it as the Specsavers blimp...puts me in mind of a manager in a certain sport

 

And another thing....there was talk in another thread yesterday about people who raise their voices at the end of a sentence. Another Australianism which bugs me is the inclusion of 'look' at every opportunity. It has a really aggressive feel to it. Coming back in the car earlier Damien Martyn was speaking on TMS. He was challenged on some comment about the Australian side and the look-o-meter just went off the scale. Absolute ear aids

I'll put them in the bin, it's not like I bought them.

 

The flowers are good, just need to be moved to avoid your eyes being distracted from the screen

 

You've got a picture of some flowers above the telly, surely that'll suffice?

 

Nah, the roses are much nicer than those drab sunflowers...bet that picture's been there too long, anyway....very dated frame

Genuine question. Does anyone know?

Edit. And Rogers' 50

Botham loves to have little digs about England....like when they just reviewed an LBW. shout and its ....."Trott thinks its out but he's not allowed to say"...in a shitty tone.

Turns out Cook and co are out ...

 

How is that out?.....sorry but that's a few now in the last few tests....this review system is going down the crapper to use an Aussie phrase...
