Pow! Right in the kisser.

@ Dello's mate - yes to both. I think.

Fair enough sir. That skinless thing can cost a lot of money, in morphine alone. I've been there. It's skin off my nose to tell you.

Is it too late for the Blobster?

For what? A skinless paintjob? Not sure there's enough body paint in England.

Late rhymes with weight. Teeheehee.

not even as good a bowler as Siddle has become...Lady Di has inferior average and strike rate....and Siddle - lion hearted bowler as he is will be lucky to make the next Ashes tour if all others are fit

StuBro was averaging 40+ a couple of years ago, remember... I was amazed to see it down to 31 now, shows what a year he's had. If he can sustain that he will be a world class bowler for the next few years.

England captain, not so sure... there's good reasons why fast bowlers rarely make captains. The fact they get injured a lot more than batsmen or spinners, for a start...

fair summation
