Shakib Al Hasan vs Ian Botham / Burgey vs *****

[S.Kennedy]

There's three different types of Aussie male cricketers though. There's the Australian in Excelsis, like Keith Miller, Andrew Symonds, Shane Watson, Pat Cummins, Dennis Lillee, Garth McKenzie. Highly evolved to our ferocious climate, bronzed, good looking, the most highly evolved humanoids in history.

Then there's the ANZACS. Tough, gritty, in the trenches types who can rely on and will fight to the death. Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Mike Hussey, Adam Gilchrist. Evolved to withstand immense pressure and fight back aggressively when cornered.

Then there's the Vestiges Of British Genes But Still Thoroughly Aussie. You see this occasionally in guys like Steve Smith. The redder hair and the pastier skin. For various reasons they haven't evolved out of the English gene pool (or carry a regressive throwback gene) with regards to looks, but have evolved the Australia toughness that lets them dominate the English consistently. Shane Warne has fought his entire career to try and get out of this category and into the Australian in Excelsis one, with moderate success depending on what your scientific viewpoint is.

I can only laugh.

The only thing I can add is the term ''flinty-eyed'' is virtually mandatory when describing category 2.

Edit, or as an alternative, ''gimlet-eyed''.

Where would you fit this guy,

Category 4: Abomination

 

[Adders]

Yeah, I can think of a few categories he's missed though......

Should definateley be a cheating **** one, Bogan ****wit possibly too.

 

[trundler]

That's a tautology, though. That information is already revealed to us from the fact that they're Aussies.

Seriously impressive. Especially re. Warne. Captured that part of his psychology perfectly.

What's outstanding to me is that how, in a country and culture with such diverse people, all Australians somehow, unanimously, are such gigantic ****s. Across the board.

It's beautiful in a way.

 

[Burgey]

It comes from being naturally superior through having to survive and prosper in a harsh land.

 

[TheJediBrah]

90% of the population lives on the coast in perfect living conditions m8

 

[trundler]

Well what do you expect from a people whose accent evolved from constantly being drunk?

 

[trundler]

I cant imagine what it must be like living in Perth. Middle of nowhere, hot as balls, everything trying to kill you, everywhere is too far.

 

[Burgey]

That's because we've already proven ourselves in the badlands of the interior. Why, only last weekend I spent an entire weekend at the vineyards in Mudgee in order to reaffirm that I can still cut it in the wild west.

Aren't you from Pakistan?

It's like Birmingham with a decent climate.

 

[Burgey]

Aren't you from Pakistan?

TBF, everything trying to kill you is more difficult than just everyone trying to kill you.

 

[trundler]

A first world country that sounds like my home isn't a good place!

 

[trundler]

Hey, we at least don't have spiders the size of your ****ing face and there's almost as many people in Karachi as are in all of Australia.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Yeah because it's too hot even for the spiders

 

[Burgey]

The spiders here aren't all that big ffs. You get Huntsmen which are about the size of a bread and butter plate at best. And they're harmless, except when they run across the dashboard of your car and cause you to swerve off the road into a tree.

You can't just use population as a measure of a place. Otherwise people would like Chennai.

 

[trundler]

In a country of 1 billion and countless shitholes, I wonder what you have specifically against Chennai?
Now I'm not even going to attempt to defend my country because come on, that's just unfair on me.
