Faulkner given four-match ban by Cricket Australia | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

Faulkner joins esteemed company with this episode - Ponting, Symonds and Warner - the legendary drunken brawlers causing trouble

Somehow brings back memories of the ads we used to get during crica 2003 India tour of Australia. The punchline was "Fosters, Australian for beer". Wonder if that tagline still continues ..

I was scoring at The Parks a couple of weeks ago when my mind wandered and I started putting together a World Ginger XI. This was what I came up with

Ian Bell isn't included because he must dye his hair or something. I feel like I'm missing some players, though, so feel free to help out if you have a spare moment.

You might as well just post the Ireland line up...

Well goes to show he is a normal after all.

Blasphemy.

Aha you see I was making a joke! Because its stereotypical for Irishmen to have ginger hair! Haha Mark, good one!

Now I understand why the aussies didnt want a beer after the game...

For some reason I didn't hear of James Anderson asking the Aussies for a beer after the 2nd Test finished. I wonder why?

Because it was agreed after the 1st test that they wouldn't be going for a couple of jars together after every game but rather at the end of the series.

Shaun Pollock should have been the first name on the team sheet! Good list though and would be a decent team, always great to see a ginger called Rusty! LOL

The man's not played for seven years...

and he would still be better than most in that squad! Sorry I didn't notice it was a "current gingers" I hadn't got far into my first coffee of the day when I posted!

Another great of the game passes on. A player who could have given the likes of Imran, Botham, Hadlee etc a serious run for their money in the 70s and 80s if not for apartheid. [HASHTAG]#rip[/HASHTAG]

hi everyone

I'm not really a big cricket fan but have decided to buy tickets for my dad's birthday for day 5 of the 3rd test at edgbaston. I have recently been told by a friend that tests rarely last the full 5 days so I'm just wondering whether I've made a huge mistake?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

You will need a good set of binoculars to actually see anything but then it makes you look like a creepy weirdo and people will wonder why you own them in the first place.

The drinks are watered down piss water you would get a better drink when it rains.

There are lots of people in fancy dress but most men use it as an excuse to wear women’s clothes in public.

There could be a blimp overhead it could fall and crash burning a lot of people but it takes a great picture.

Sleeping or a good book is good when play becomes slow so just make a half arsed attempt to cheer when the rest of the crowd does.

Are you making a huge mistake? If your dads the only one going no

This made me laugh:
