He is the strong silent type who will let his bat do the talking, when the English foe are crushed beneath the heel of Australian cricketting supremacy...

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

You'll be like that if England win a toss! It's lovely letting you win most of the time - just makes it all the more painful when we can be bothered to kick your arses.

Having no context at all, no concept of cricket, no idea who he is, I don't see anything slappable about him. Looks like a guy studying about something difficult.

If by that you mean "permanently trying to force out a really tough turd" then I agree.
