He was appealing for obstructing the field. He had a small but decent case.

What was the batsman supposed to do? Dive out the way of the ball that was thrown directly at his legs while he was firmly within his crease?

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.

He went to Warney to find out how to not be soft, Warney taught him everything he knew, and now he eats dirty rotten pizzas

Reminder that Warne literally used to take a suitcase full of canned baked beans on overseas trips (and probably still does)

The batsman doesn't have to jump out of the way because you're being a shithead and pieing it in at the stumps after they've played it back to you.

When Johnson is running in, he looks like a sprite from a third-rate Master System game.
He always reminds me of a running T-Rex because he holds his hands so close to his chest.

He moved his pad in front of the ball deliberately.

I have worked out the perfect technique for getting wickets against India:

Get the Indian batsman to hit a boundary, and odds on he'll go out next ball

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
After reading a bunch of smug Indian cricinfo comments regarding the NZ team I'm somewhat content with this wet fart of a performance from them when it counts.

Can we get a graphical comparison of Shane Warne's shaggin' in the subcontinent as compared to Oceania?

I immediately don't believe that 'Indian pitch' comparison when it says the ball would have gone over the stumps.
