Warney OK

Firstly, since when were commentators checked for drug use?? One would think it would almost be compulsory, or at least it should be. Are you listening BILL LAWRY? We all know that blokes of Warney's stature are excused all kinds of indiscretions, that is the nature of Australian sport. Look at it like the Cartesian separation of mind and body, separation of sport and personal life/****-ups is partly the reason why Australia keeps winning things.

Secondly. Merv and Booney are old-school mug-lairs. Warney is just the most recent version of this particular attention-seeking, drug-using (alcohol counts Boony!) clowns. Who happen to be handy with a bat or ball. Although, I would not put Boony in the same class totally as Merv and Warney. Boony had character, Boony had a gut, Boony liked a beer or two, but he wasn't the out-and-out show ponies that Merv and Warney are. Boony earned the respect of the Australian people the hard way, on a flight to London. And he sure knew how to let a ball go through to the 'keeper.

Thirdly, if you don't like cliches with your commentary turn the telly down and listen to the wireless. Jonathon Agnew and Kerry O'Keefe are extremely entertaining and with nary a cliche in sight.

And on to other pressing matters, seems comicstriphero was right on the button when she said the Poo would choke. I don't know if you would call it choking but I would call it not being good enough. Enough said.

Did you see Kim Clisters getting all hot and bothered over Australia at the Davis Cup? She was even wearing an Australian hat during the doubles. What I found really touching though was the sight of her mouthing 'COME ON!" and shaking her fist just like little Leyton. Looks like a match made in heaven.

And lastly, Liverpool are playing Birmingham tomorrow and what price a win? Even I am starting to question the reign of GH. Ah well, could be worse, I could be a Leeds fan.
