A cheat is a cheat

It’s well known by anyone who’s anybody that the sandpaper tactic was used throughout the last Ashes, come on, wake up.

The laws of the game make saliva acceptable. If you Aussies and your inferiority complex didn’t bully us into feeling we needed to constantly keep our breath fresh then the players wouldn’t have needed to enter the field with mints. Happy coincidence.

Burgey does it much better than you.

Burgey does it much better than you.

Took you about two days to clock on though

So ... you've got nothing, right?

"I had a go at Murray mints and found they worked a treat." - Trescothick. So saliva yes. Mints not so much.

If people can't tell it's satire it just might not be good satire.

Got a couple of bottles of mint shower gel at the minute actually so...

Whatever floats your boat mate.

What do you actually think he did with the mints?

What do you actually think he did with the mints?

He also says he was firmly established as the man in charge of looking after the ball when fielding. Are you beginning to see a connection?

I already know what the connection is, but you carry on playing miss marple

I've found that certain types of sunscreen can also prove effective.

Great to hear considering your lot don't generally bother with showers. Keep up the good work

So you run the sunscreen bottles on the ball? Disgrace

 

[the big bambino]

I see, gimh. So you can ask questions but I'm Miss Marple. Just like your team is a pack Ashes filching cheats but we "robbed" you in the last ashes.

 

[Burgey]

Lip balm ftw. In the days before umpires got the ball after a wicket I'd shine the ball up with it in the team huddle. Works a treat. Same with the old Chaminda.

In thirteen years on CW, I have never encountered such refreshing and original humour. Thank you

The roll-on sunscreen works the best. Squirting it out of the bottle can prove troublesome. Don't wanna completely soak the ball in sunscreen.

Is anyone going to tell him?

You're not good at keeping an audience by creating suspense. Better tell now before we all walk out in boredom.

You don't need a special situation to use lip balm. Just put it on your lips, then transfer requisite quantities onto the ball. Hasn't failed me yet. Works way better than sunscreen.
