I’m at Noosa Queensland Australia.

Did I just see Stokesy and the boys running amok in the bar or am I imagining it. The ashes were in the bag they said.

In all seriousness if I put my unofficial TAN Aussie tourism minister hat on….if you ever come to Oz then get to Noosa. Magnificent climate beaches walks and bikinis. And seafood.

Sydney, Noosa, Barrier Reef is the itinerary.

Does the Barrier Reef still exist?

Here’s the footage. He’s definitely getting the ball to swing but NZ cricket looks like its not in rude health if that’s the standard of first grade batting over there. And the caught behind looks very suspect.

Rob from Kent :rofl:

Chance of snow stopping play again as the County Championship gets underway.

Not the first time he’s been caught out after a dodgy drive

Better than being a robbing bastard

Ben Ducket seems to think he’s a lot better player than he is such that continually acting like such a tool will be tolerated. Surely he’s wrong?

Caught out! First time Warner has ever tried to walk…

"Test cricket great David Warner has been charged with mid-range drink-driving after allegedly being busted in Sydney’s eastern suburbs at the weekend.

NSW Police said officers were conducting random breath tests on Malabar Rd at Maroubra about 5.30pm on Sunday when they spotted a van stopping short of the testing site and parking.

They approached the vehicle and tested the driver – identified as the 39-year-old former Australian opening batsman – who allegedly returned a positive result."

"Warner, who has retired from international cricket but still captains the Sydney Thunder in the domestic Big Bash League Twenty20 competition, was arrested and taken to Maroubra Police Station.

There, police allege he blew 0.104, which is more than twice the legal limit.

He was issued a court attendance notice requiring him to appear at the Downing Centre on May 7."

I was so lucky to witness their entire career.

It was a(nother) golden era… Ambrose/Walsh, Waqar/Wasim, Pollock/Donald and Lee/McGrath…

I even had glimpse of Imran Khan

Didn’t Gillespie partner McGrath?

Agree but like Ambrose/Walsh, they had a multiple foils as no career completely overlaps perfectly and I was going for the most consequential ones (superficially).

With you until the Brett Lee reference. McGrath and Warne. And that Pakistani bowling side - Akram, Younis, Ahmed and Mustaq was very good.

And Akthar when he was fit, not jacked on drugs and with no disciplnary issues.

Was trying to think of an Australian fast bowling pair rather than a bowling pair..
