From same article:

Former Australia captain Greg Chappell escaped a fine for hitting a streaker on the buttocks with a bat during a match in Auckland, New Zealand in 1976.

Good one Chappelli :D

You need to get Sky Sports, if only to listen to Bumble schooling Athers on the Manchester music scene during a lull in play.

 Unfortunately....getting back into this game, may very well mean we now lose it.  

  Going to be good though,  I'll try and keep awake and watch some of it.

Seems to be a pressure thing ie cant handle it, as Bell proved towards the end when he seemed more relaxed actually taking bowlers on, why the fuck cant supposedly top order do that?

Well we aren't allowed winners (apparently) in our schools now so its only going to get worse.

 I would suggest the problem with both the egg chasers and the cricketers lies at teh top....neither of Moores nor  Ashton are up to the job.

Think you may get your wish.
Hopefully Stuart Broad will take his place, he cant be any worse as a bowler and also adds to the batting.

We've got half the team that can't field, four of them who can't bat (+ all the 'batsmen' who don't seem to be able to either), Harmison has lost his marbles (try looking for them on a length outside off stump)

Pietersen is not and never will be a team player, Vaughan is past his sell by date,  and Reg is right about Moores on current  performance.

Did anyone read the Sunday Times which revealed how much some of these jokers earned from the game last year ?

Collingwood over £400k, Flintoff £300k despite hardly playing, Harmison £220k despite "retiring" from ODI.  I  used to have sympathy with them compared to footballers, and I know it's still not in that league, but it's hardly engendering a "hungry for success" approach is it ?

It's not as though we turned in a stellar performance in 2007 for god's sake
