What a quite extraordinary week!
A small number of Australians attempt to introduce a new national sport of "polishing your balls with a piece of sandpaper". The Aussie Sports Minister explains that "we like to do things differently
Down Under".
A highly perplexed BBC newsreader announces a piece of unusual cricket wrongdoing as the main news item. What no Brexit, politics or Russian related news items? Around the country thousands of husbands subsequently make a complete hash of trying to explain to their families what ball tampering means in cricketing terms.
Taking a novel approach, Australian soap Neighbours conduct live auditions for actors who can blubber convincingly before cameras.
Aussie cricket coach Darren "let's send Broad home in tears" Lehmann proves that he can act out his inner thoughts. Now we know why he goes by the nickname of "Boof".
ln other news, at a hastily arranged meeting with county chiefs, the ECB totally dismiss calls for an independent review of their £2.5m payment to Glamorgan. Two days later and guess what!
Well, perhaps we should act swiftly to refute these apparent allegations of acting like feudal lords.
That rebellious upstart George....."put him in the stocks". No, "put him on the next boat to Australia". No, "sue the bounder until his pips squeak".
Meanwhile, thankfully our cricket season is fast approaching. However, with this weather we might need Noah's Ark.
