Its not what he is. Its who is isn’t. He is not Nathan Hauritz. That’s what he is.
Piss weak, and exactly the same as every other beer available
i can’t tell whether he’s batting or bowling in that photo.
surely that’s not good.
He’s actually riding a dalmation through an obstacle course that’s booby-trapped with bowling machines.
Since the last Perth Test 2006, England have played three spinners – Monty, Swann and Tredwell.
A prize to the person who can guess all 11 – no, really, 11 – of the Australian spinners in the same period.
warne
macgill
hauritz
krejza
doherty
smith
george
mcgain
casson
cullen
white
boom.
Cullen played before this period I mean and George isn’t a spinner. There’s two you’ve missed.
Dan Cullen hasn’t played in that period and who is George? Peter George is a quick.
Unboom, but we’ll add The Tongue, Brad Hogg.
I can get to 10:
Warne; McGill; Hauritz; Doherty; Smith; McGain; Krezja; Casson; White; Hogg
boom.
We had to resort to Cricinfo for t’other, so we won’t name him.
Wait, are we talking just Tests?
I was talking just Tests, but erroneously included Beer. Otherwise England would include their T20 ‘specialists’. So I guess we can give it to String.
Eleven, unless anyone here thinks North was picked for his batting!
Most claims of erroneous inclusion of Beer are usually falsified.
It doesn’t matter what Beer does to England. Mitch will have a huge role to play, and I suspect he’s going to find his rhythm.
Who isn’t Michael Beer?
That’s the spirit, D Charlton.
That said, ‘which AREN’T the 10 spinners tried by Australia since the 2006 Perth Test’ is probably more meaningful, so our irritating rhetorical answer tactic falls down in that instance.
Beer and spirits. Are you just aiming to get increased web traffic this Christmas time?
I’m enjoying this:

So, Ged:
A=B A∪B = A∩B?
Sorry, the question was:
Can you prove:
A=B
is the same statement as
A∪B = A∩B?
In set theory, A∪B = A∩B can indeed be shortened to A=B.

Ah, the joy of sets.
Did we mention our struggles with addition yet?
[Imagine a second sentence that acknowledges Bert’s witticism in an equally wittty way]
Can we do cricket here? Is that allowed?
This Beer chap (his name reminds me of something or other…) will either be a rip-roaring success or boundary fodder for Kevin Pietersen. If it is the latter (and let’s face it, it will be) they will still be forced to pick him in the 4th test as well. Any set of selectors can have their Darren Pattinson moment, but CA has already had theirs in this series. Dropping Beer after one test will pretty much force them out.
Meanwhile, I reckon that the selection of Hughes will catch them out as well. Watson started out as a #6, and remains a #6 even when opening. The thing that allows him to play the way he does is the presence of a dour, crinkly-faced nudger at the other end. Having Hughes there will confuse him – he will almost certainly feel he’ll have to adopt a more “conservative” approach, and this will cause him to get out for a fifty-ball 7.
And, as I’ve just noticed, you can’t drop Beer, as that normally incurs some sort of forfeit involving some vodka and a pickled gerkhin.
bert,
how dare you bring the conversation back to cricket.
Dole out enough complements, Kc, and eventually U should achieve union.
Since no one here is willing to ask the hard questions,
I am going to fill up that vacuum and ask them.
Where do you get the pictures like these ^^ KC ?
Some people say that we crop larger pictures so that it’s less obvious that we’ve stolen them, but the truth is that they arrive by magic. We’ve no idea where they come from.
boom
Deep Cower – are you Mitchell Johnson’s overbearing mother?
Australia would kill for a Brad Hogg these days…
Also, I think that they are just starting a 20 year long search for the next Botham, sorry Warne.
I know this is verging in hubris, but I’ve had to put up with the Aussie Mocking Machine for the entirety of my adult life, so I’ve got to take some pleasure of the mess they are in at the moment – if even only until next weekend (when M Beer actually turns out to be the next Warne)
I’ve got some stats together about the Waca and spinners. Not quite the tweaker’s graveyard it’s perceived as…

Does he have two middle names, also beginning with ‘M’? Then his name would be MMM Beer. If he doesn’t, he should.
“Everyone loves beer. Then again, he’s an Aussie beer, so he’ll presumably be piss-weak.”
Yes, but he’ll have an amusing stereotype-based advert to go with him, so he’ll sell by the bucketload in locals up and down the land.
