Two things you should never do....

Cut a spinner and pat a burning dog....

Discuss.

Prior's sledging has come a long way since Jellybeangate.

Swanny telling Mitchell Johnson to put away 'Blue Steel' and keep working on 'Magnum' was also a good one too.

Perhaps this is part of a new England team policy. Maybe Luke Wright is on tour as their script writer. Despite his boyish looks he has the brain of a stand-up comic. A bit like that Russell Howard off Mock The Week. Except funny.

Yes, that worked well.

You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim

Yes it did. We won 3-1 and Australia then dropped their best fast bowler for the next Ashes, which they lost 3-0.

Ooh, triumphalism and 'retribution'. Strinos have had a fat turkey this year.

Even when Johnson is bowling well his histrionics after every delivery still made him look foolish. If you're mentally weak you're far better off just looking a bit confused and lost like Harmison rather than pretending you're some kind of tough guy. Possibly his on-pitch histrionics are linked to why he's frozen and choked so often in the past, he struggles to concentrate and is too worried about how others perceive him.

Whatever happened to Chiv Augustus?

He smoked a bad spliff?

I don't think that was Chiv's scene ... the spliff might not have fitted into his cigarette holder, and anyway the ash might have fallen on the soft toys.

Is that even a real thing?

Chiv is drugless. Let us not forget, the concoction of chemicals in his brain would be too much to take as it is.

Why not cut a spinner, if he's dross?
