Two customers, one is late teens and the other is her mum. They’re about to pay for their doughnuts.

Teen: Put your money away, I’m paying! *hands me card *
Mum: Don’t use your card, it costs you money every time you do. That’s why I tell you to always leave $20 out!
Teen: I have money in my wallet, I just can’t be bothered to take it out.
Mum: Oh you lazy little shit bag. *fishes out notes from her own purse * Here, use this.

A Frog walks into a bank…

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. “Miss Whack, I’d like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday.” Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it’s okay, he knows the bank manager. Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral. The frog says, “Sure. I have this,” and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patty explains that she’ll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says, “There’s a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral.” She holds up the tiny pink elephant. “I mean, what in the world is this?” (you’re gonna love this) (its a real treat) ( a masterpiece) (wait for it) The bank manager looks back at her and says… “It’s a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man’s a Rolling Stone.” (You’re singing it, aren’t you?)

That’s the best one but hard to find

Sibeen’s 187 may be a far better prediction than DV’s “we’ll struggle in this series”.

Quite the day… But the measure of great win is a 4th innings chase. Remains to be seen if the Aust batters have the necessary resolve.

I personally think they will do it easily… But I’ve been wrong before.

With 10 wickets in hand and needing 201 runs for victory, Australia will hope to be up 4-0 in the series by day’s end.

> they have two days to do it in.. What’s the rush, why not drag out the agony? There’s the rub.

TV is on mute but why did they spend all that time on snicko and replays for Watson’s non snick that grounded before Bairstow grabbed it?

The only reason Monty is in the side is that when he was at school they made him the spin bowler because he looked Asian and had a turban.
The the ECB picked him for similar reasons

ECB Chap 1-: I say that Panasar chap, he bowls some off spin stuff, Asia chap I think, he’d be an asset, go down well with the punters.
ECB Chap 2-: And he’s got a turban, I’ll pencil him in and then we can parade the little chap out in front of the media in an English blazer, what.
ECB Chap 1-: Fancy another drink.
ECB Chap 2-: Rather.
ECB Chap 1-: I say Frobisher my good man, two more gin and tonics and a plate of cucumber sandwiches, there’s a good chap.

The real issue was that they allowed him to get out of practice.

Bresnan and Bairstow were the better additions.

I admit that whether or not Watson is alive or dead did have some impact on this match.

It’s going to come right down to the wire in Sydanee.
Whitewash or no whitewash.

K Peitersen was terribly hard done by on both occasions.

In first innings, as the slow-mo and sniker and hot spot showed… He didn’t touch the bloody ball, not even close to hitting it.. Never mind that the bloody thing clearly didn’t carry to the fieldsmen.

2nd innings… How can that be out? Never bloody mind that the ball was never going to hit leg stump, he clearly hit it.

My word, there is a reckoning beckoning…
