Countdown to 400

Aye. Greig is hell-bent on slagging the Aussies off at any opportunity (farkin stoopid Yarp), and Crapelli is just a farkin old fool. I find his ongoing insults towards Tugga a complete disgrace.

Can't you erase tattoos by lasers, etc., now?

Congrats to Haddit on getting the nicely rounded no. 400 Baggy Green. He shares the honour of an even-century Baggy Greener with John McLaren (no. 100), Peter Burge (200), and Phil Carlson FFS (300).

Haddit, but only in a good way.

Good work Skully ...Answering a trivia question before it happened has got to be a first

Tattoos are only skin deep, stupid goes right to the bone.

Hehe, sage.

A decent start with the gloves for Haddin today. Probably would have liked to scored more with the bat - I missed his innings, but he seemed to be 'keeping OK.

Morning Zoggy. Haddit batted pretty well. He was just starting to get into his stride and smacked a couple of lovely pull shots, before trying it again and bottom edging one that didn't get up as much the previous bumpers. He'll score some murderous runs in Test cricket but, ala Gilly, will fall cheaply to the odd slash.
