Hes just a suburban boy

If the .100+ figure being thrown around is anywhere near legit he needs to be drummed out of any official role in Australian Cricket.

Drink driving is genuinely reprehensible, but there's no way you get behind the wheel and blow triple figures innocently.

We've all pushed our boundaries with drink driving, but .104 at the police station afterwards is quite the effort, and not a good one.

Safe to assume it'd have been a fair bit higher when behind the wheel and first tested. Jeez! It's sacking worthy hopefully! Not coz his commentary's shite, but drink driving to that level is a threat to other drivers, pedestrians and people's homes.

Not necessarily. BAC can still go up as the body metabolises alcohol over a period of time.

I believe that is the reason why two tests are administered. If you're over the legal limit in the first test, they'll wait 30 minutes to see whether your BAC goes up or down in the second test administered in the bus.

Multi millionaires caught that pissed should do gaol time blowing that high. But all he'll get is a fine and we all know a fine means it's legal for rich people. I'd bet he won't even have a conviction recorded, which leaves him free to play cricket in the USA T20.

CA have gave him a job how he doesn't blow up Sandpaper gate, his job is safe.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Yep, double the legal limit yikes!

I'm actually surprised double the limit is only mid range.

Why isn't he in Pakistan anyhow???

Did he get injured?

I thought they stopped foreign players from going there because of the war they're in. I read that a few weeks ago so maybe that's changed.

Thanks for the info. Once the hit and giggle season starts in the subcontinent I largely tune out of cricket tbh, so apologies for my lack of awareness.

I found the answer, he was granted a week off for personal reasons.

What I don't understand with Mark Waugh is there's nothing appealing about him at all. He has no great insights about cricket, his voice is boring to listen to, he's not funny or charismatic or anything. He wasn't even a great player (good yes, but a fair way south of Warne, McGrath, his brother, etc). Why does he still get hired?

I think he is both of those things in his own unique way. If you want a commentator with perfect research, there are plenty of dweebish types around like Geoff Lemon.
