Michael Clarke is a toxic piece of shit

Has this thread title been put into the Bails Hall of Fame?

As an example of studied understatement?

When Hussey is 80 years old and is a dribbling incoherent mess (a bit like someone else I could mention) he would still be a better batsman than Smith will ever be.  

interesting post. wonder if baz might ever change his mind about that

Noticed that Maxwell is dating the Channel Ten news reader from the daily evening slot.

Speaking of toxic waste, I see Chelsea are finally getting shot of John Terry.

I suppose it depends if Smith ever stops being a merciless FTB

I daresay I could find some of ETG's posts that make fairly silly reading a few months / years down the line if I tried hard enough. Suffice it to say that if I had to choose between Hussey and Smith to score a hundred to save my life, then it's Hussey all the way.

Spot on. Smiths odd technique means he will be found out on seamers unless he is in peak form.

oh i quite agree. on all points

its just interesting how some players kick on and find new levels when others fall by the wayside. even the flat track bullying would have been beyond the smith we knew when bazs post went up

He was fully occupied peeling oranges and attending to bewildered captains felled by giant scented panda hammers when Baz put his post up.

Pup autobiography due out ....48 minutes of bullshit and 12 minutes of ads interview

Clarke denies calling Twatto a 'cancer' (as per claim by horries favourite yarpie coach) ...says it was 'like a tumour that could grow into a cancer'

Says Fleas was right to choke him

Admits being a selfish qunt

Plus couldn't give an answer when asked if any of his teammates liked him.

Sounds like he is hiding something.

He's rather lachrymose.

Crocodile tears. The thread title is bang on; he's flailing about trying to assemble the tattered scraps of his legacy into something other than a parable of narcissism, and it's not working.

A good batsman but that's where it should have ended.

On the wireless this morning, he said that one of the things that pushed him to retirement was the new management structure of CA - ie Pat Howard. What was left unsaid, I think, was that he resented losing control over the team.

He also said that the only player who he doesn't talk to anymore is Token (ie he still speaks and admires and respects Watto, despite having called him a tumour).

The two captains that have let us down the most since.......I don't know, both had disciplinary problems and/or personality problems. I think there's a message there about there being no second chances when it comes to the captaincy. So may Warner only ever be vice-captain.

Sniffy II does not look too good either.

Well interestingly, we've been shit since Howard became part of the management structure. Maybe Pup was onto something.

Nothing to do with the fact that his back was so farked that he could not bend down to pick up a ten pound note and couldn't buy a run for the last year or so of his test career then.

Extract from Pup's new book:

I hope that is a parody

I'm not sure that it is.

It's funny either way.
