The Deplorables

Keeps referring to ''his part'' If his part was as instigator and it comes out in the official report, this will be exposed for what it is.

Mickey Arthur's comments re the frustration of being stopped from changing the culture and sanctioning players like Warner coming from the top needs closer examination. Well maybe PT. I suppose a good starting point would be to stop letting kids from all the bogan areas playing cricket - then the problems gone I suppose. I mean if your born & bred in Campbelltown or Blacktown your a good chance of being a Warner clone I would have thought. Its a battle getting through a school day without getting into at least one blue....deary me ! Is a ''bogan child'' redeemable, or are they condemned to boganism for life?

Probably the former PT. Very hard to cover up all defining character flaws. Blokes like The Judge spend their life making sure they keep them (us) down where we belong.

Then again, if he’s been advised not to speak off script, for him that’s pretty sound advice.

All this man-hugging and bum-patting and blubbing, it's un-Australian I tell ya: un-Australian.

His poor wife was much more convincing - I do feel sorry for her. She has been great

Are you stooping that low, geez

Just saw an interesting poll taken by text after Warners statement. When asked has Warner been unceremoniously thrown to the wolves ? Results  - NSW yes 85%  Vic no 5%  SA no 0% (only 1 vote so far)  Qld Exempt (no phones)  WA/TAS  ?? (who cares)

      Let's get this clear... you are an ASS-HOLE.!!!!!!!

I so desperately wanted to come out of that with sympathy for Warner instead I am now questioning the first two press conferences, they all seem too damn staged now.

This apology tour will redeem their reputations slightly, but their unwillingness to answer the questions people want to know isn't helping their cause.

He and Warner have both been warned in the past re ball tampering.

Pretty poor form pop,...ya lost me, but that shouldn't mean too much to you I s'pect.

I've always doubted the science behind it. Would be ironic if it's a total myth.

Who cares
