Sri Lanka are just as cuntworthy as everyone else, the patronising attitude towards them everyone always has is the worst

Seems everyone is a oval office when your team's on the next flight home after a toss up game against Afghanistan, doesn't it?

I remember Murali getting his action tested and okayed by bio-mechanics experts at my old university UWA in Perth many years ago, has it all been left up to one hard-arse in England these days?

You know there is something seriously wrong with english cricket when the BBC suggests bringing in an Australian as head coach.

im happy with the idea of the guy who used to do the happy gilmore with his bat whenever he got some runs being an international coach

There is no real conspiracy. England and Australia just won't play bowlers who chuck. The doosra is literally banned from being taught at the centre of excellence in Australia.

The real interesting thing about the recent crackdown is that the bcci do not need the vote of the Asian bloc so its quite interesting that a crackdown started when it did..I just think the bcci can't be hosed arguing with the other two big cricketing boards on the issue. So they are like who cares if some Sri Lankan gets banned. Pass me that sack full of money.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
