My favourite Sun incident was when, in 2000, they airbrushed out a disabled England fan from a photo of the celebrations following England's win against the West Indies.
****s.

Jesus.
That's tabloids for you. Print first, think second. Rather, print first, don't think, make money, learn nothing.
Some emotive dribble in the Independent article there too, I notice - "obliterated". As though you've never put up anything dodgy.

They'd be a bit shocked on that one.
It can be a good paper as regards getting certain exclusives but it lets itself down so often by printing made up rubbish that hurts innocent people like they did over Hillsborough.
Not surprised why people regard it as a comic.

interesting stats for spinners. Swan will do better.
He's had 9 fifers in the last 2 years and will be getting more in the next 2 months.

Bringing up that Strauss was born in South Africa and saying something like "Let's question where these blokes are actually from." A really nice attitude to have when you may be about to debut your own first Pakistani-born cricketer, bet he feels really welcome.

I seriously doubt Border really cares. Likely the Australians just see it as a useful sledging tactic to get under England's skin and piss them off.

That is, after all, what Border was best at.

That and scoring a poultice of runs..That is, after all, what Border was best at.
Good to see the future King get engaged, it will distract the English public from the thrashing their cricket team is about to get.
Apparently our national gift to celebrate the occasion, a kangaroo's scrotum zip-up purse for the new missus, was well received.

SS, can you do one for "Indianism" with the following caption, which seems pretty apt:I was bored so I thought I'd use my not-so-considerable photo-shop skills:
