Anyone else taken a dislike to Steven Smith since he became Aussie captain?

Not quite yet but I'm sure it won't be long. Clarke actually seemed OK although he never seemed very popular in Australia until he handled the aftermath of Phil Hughes' death very well.

Nah, he looks too much like a simpleton to really hate him.

Warne has been doing a lot of attention seeking recently, bleating pathetically about Waugh dropping him for one test in the West Indies. He seems to be carving a niche as the Katie Hopkins of Australian Cricket. As someone who obviously has a great cricketing midn it is a real shame he is such a detestable character.

I saw Warne was going on about aliens or some shit, didn't even bother reading. I don't know whether the guy is just a serial attention whore or he's actually mentally ill.

Warne is a twat but he's on the Oz version of I'm an uncelebrity get me out of here so he is being paid to be more of a twat than he usually is. All in the name of ratings and the show isn't.

At the same time, he might be the best - along with Atherton - of the Sky commentary team. I know I really should dislike Warne, but I find it quite hard to. Of that era of Australian player, he might be the most popular with the England supporters.

I was having a discussion about him the other day and this was the prevailing feeling. Despite everything, he's hard to dislike.

Score 9, retire hurt, won't have to bat again in this match, retire full stop,annoy cricket historians for the rest of time.

BUT

Did you know Bradman's test average isn't the highest in history?

Step forward West Indian one test wonder (and someone I considered putting in my deadpool) Andy Ganteaume with 112.

Now dead. Spooky.

How many P&Bers play cricket?

I'm a 'keeper batsman in the East of Scotland League.

I'm was a Keeper batsman/Specialist fielder in the West of Scotland but I'm staying in Edinburgh this summer instead of going back home so I'm looking forward to the change.
