I think it's probably Marble Bar tbh, but if we're limiting it to State or Territory capitals then it would have to be either Brisbane or Darwin, even though both have potable water and no open sewer running through them. Climatically similar, not much goes on in either of them and the locals have gone Troppo.

Yeah Dubbo not a bad shout, but at least Western Plains Zoo means there's something interesting there, unlike Chennai.
Come to think of it, Darwin has that joint where you can swim with crocodiles, so that makes it a lot better than Chennai too. So that basically leaves Brisbane. I'd tend to rule out Perth tbh, as there are wineries not too far away. it has amazing beaches too, whereas the mental giants who built Brisbane decided to have a sub-tropical capital near one of the world's great coastlines built inland on a fetid, stinking river and had to actually build a man-made beach a hundred years later to make up for it.
Both still miles better than Chennai though. Australia's Chennai may well be Oodnadatta.

FMD that's a low joint, isn't it? Dated a girl from there when I was in high school. It's like Pompeii for the living - not much goes on after dark.Deniliquin?

It'd be hard to picture you with a can of Bundy Rum in your hand Burgey, that's for sure.

On the other hand, it could speed things up.
Throw ball into keeper. He passes it to umpire. If there is a ball shiner, he is there and shines ball, then straight to bowler. As it currently is, one dickhead passes it to the next dickhead while they chat and all have a go at putting some **** and shine on the ball before passing it through all the in fielders to the bowler. This also keeps the umpire fully aware of teh state of the ball - he is effectively keeping track of it every ball.
This method has 1 ball chuck - one shine - job done.

The Ben Stokes drink of choice innit?

Maybe, but on the other hand having the umpires inspect the ball after each & every delivery is bound to slow down play somewhat.

I suspect it was the Burgey drink of choice long before it was his
