I think the "why are home Tests less important than away Tests" has some merit - it's related to the sorts of arguments which were trotted out to delegitimize Sehwag, for example - but to be honest it's not super applicable to Australia, who just flat out cannot bat away from home with literally one exception (his ban isn't actually that relevant in that consideration). You cannot be that incompetent in half the Tests you play and be taken that seriously.
Yeah people are kidding themselves if they think the "cultural problems" in Aus cricket are about sledging and siege mentality stuff. That's your classic tip of the iceberg thing there.
Yeah i'll go with this one
I'm mildly annoyed I didn't think of this.
I've long thought the Wessels-Wessels Trophy would be perfect.
It is disappointing. I did take Faf as a learned sort of guy but CSA certainly don't look to take much of an effort pre-92 unfortunately.
Ah, Denis Lindsay, greatest thing to come out of Benoni since the N12.
He probably spends his free time coming up with new and innovative situations where he can take his shirt off.
But she didn't even play cricket!
Some would say Charlize Theron.
England have the worst test away record bar Bangladesh and Zimbabwe .... The test team of the last few years away from home gives the Atherton era a run for its money.
Does he actually bother coming up with situations? Isn't his thought process more like "Would it be inappropriate to take my shirt off now?", and if the answer is yes then it's "Would I still be able to get away with it if I did?".
After Faf's apprarance in the Durban stairwell during the De Kock-Warner incident someone on Twitter said they expected him to do the PE toss wearing just a towel.
Yeah, they say before he came into shot at the stairwell he had his shirt on
