Today the buzz expression is "put your big boy/girl pants on" which of course has a completely different meaning.

No idea what this Mary business is all about ?

OHHH Max I'm staggered . Surely you have heard the famous saying .

Put your knickers on Mary , It's all over.

Wasn't Mary your second wife macca?

I don't think so Scamanda ,   I do put painful experiences out of my mind .

I'll have a look at my diary on Racecourses, Golf courses, Dinner courses, &
Inter views.    I'll let you know if a Mary is written in my color code.

That tells me what color they were wearing , in case they left a pair in the glove box.      .

It is a spectrum, there are an infinite number

reductio ad absurdum

You'd need your head examined paying money to watch those Poms play. How bad was that attempted slips catch.

Becoming ?

It'll be 5-0 again, Root sealed that by electing to bowl first on the Adelaide Oval Highway. That will go down in history as an even more stupidly bone headed decision then Hussein sending Aus in at the Gabba all those years ago.

Great photo.

I find it odd so many people complain about KP yet say nothing about the blithering moron Healy.

Not much comment on the cricket .. Paint drying = whatever.

WHY would Smith not enforce the follow on . Appears stupid.

I am not sure I can make it through the whole Summer listening to Kevin Pieterson

KP is our best weapon.

In the Brisbane test , once he told the channel 9 viewers the Aussies had a fragile batting lineup the game turned our way.

I started with nothing and still have most of it left

Ian Chappell and co. changed the culture in Australian test cricket. Even the schoolboy cricketers are into sledging these days. OK if it has a little humour attached. I was walking past a suburban cricket field where a lower grade fixture was being played. A fielder at long off was yelling abuse at the batsman from that far away, The next ball is skyed toward him, looking like a catch, he lurches forward a couple of steps, falls flat on his face before the ball arrives. I laughed my guts out. The don't call them boring cricket farts for nothing.

I’ve played a few seasons of warehouse cricket over years and what you say is 100% correct. I played in quite a low grade because, well, I was gelati.

Every game you get muppets trying to sledge the entire time. Newsflash guys, you’re playing C3 winter warehouse (light years from the test arena), you’re as gelati as the rest of us!

Australia enforce the follow on last night they probably have this Test wrapped up by now.

I've actually enjoyed watching it a bit, which is great because I've had no interest in a game I loved for years. I saw why I turned off cricket some years ago during a rain delay in adelaide - they showed some old Ashes games of the 80s/90s and then one game of the team of deodorant/ hair-product selling tools of a few years ago.

I don't mind this Oz team and I think it's been interesting test cricket, even if England has been weak.
