YEP!

I love the bit where he tells Baldrick to take cover cos he doesn't want to have to phone his mother in London zoo to tell her he's dead!

I note that Dan Vettori backed right away from the allegation in the post-ODI interview and said he didn't intend to accuse Spud of being a chucker.

Sook and coward

How do we know that Vettori even made the allegation in the first place?

by lardbucket Sat 15 Dec 2007, 23:28

I don't think we do.

by Henry Sat 15 Dec 2007, 23:31

Judging by what Vettori said, it was Bracewell who first made the allegation.

"Judging by what Vettori said, it was Bracewell who first made the allegation."

In which case, it should have been immediately filed alongside all the other total tossage that has emanated from his festering gob over his long but mediocre career.

Bracewell is the Mudge (Midge?) of Bootpolishland.

Bracewell is a shit stirrer of the first order

In which case he couldn;t be the Mudge of bootpolishland, because Basil's statement is about 5 words too long.

You're not as dumb as you pretend to be. You're not even as dumb as flossie pretends to be.
I'm reminded of that Good News Week episode in which Kate Fisher slipped out of her role and said something that showed her to be both knowledgable and intelligent, and totally shocked all the males in the audience . . .

Always accepting that Filo is pretending.

Aye - he needs to do it to hide his deficiencies as a coach.

As an aside, it is interesting that Geoff Lawson said that the most frustrating thing about coaching the Paks is their lack of a self-starting attitude to fitness (like the gym) and training generally - something he said that Aust teams at most levels don't have a problem with.

"Aye - he needs to do it to hide his deficiencies as a coach."

Not very different to when he was a player.

He was the original Paul Nixon.

No, it's just something that happens now and then.
Don't read too much into it.

It's a more interesting conspiracy theory than anything Farkaroo's come up with so far.

Genious from New Zealand vice-captain Brendon McCullum:

"If he's Glenn McGrath, he can probably THROW comments like that out there," McCullum told AAP on Saturday. "But my only advice would be to maybe get a few more statistics behind him before he starts mouthing off.

I thought it was impossible, but Bracewell seems to have made an even bigger prat of himself commenting on the Haddin-for-Gilly switch for JAMODI 3 ...

As I was saying, it seems like Bracewell has now apologised for the Gilly slur.

Is this a new version of the 'infinite number of monkeys on an infinite number of typewriters' theory?
