But why does it bother you if India are being praised?Because we were incredibly bad, and still the toss of the coin a couple of times could have changed results.

Is Will Pucovski the first Pole to play for Australia?
... say what now?
Emojis are your friend and would help to explain your intention behind such a weird question.
My birth-surname has 12 letters and ends in -ski, but I was born in Oz to post-WW2 European parents.
I'm Australian and am ferociously pro-Australian and patriotic to the core.
Pucovski was born in Oz, too, so your question edited should be:
"Is Will Pucovski the first Australian to play for Australia?", to which the answer is clearly NO.
Having been born in the 20thC, you might be old enough to know that is an ethnic slur and a derogatory term in modern English usage, somewhat like referring to a Chinese person as a ****, or similar. Not just that, Will Pucovski was born in Australia and is an Australian citizen. His Polish heritage is irrelevant.I was born in the 20th century and I don't live with mother, hence I don't use 'emojis'
My birth-surname has 10 letters and ends in -ski, but I was born in NZ to post-WW2 first generation parents. Michael Kasprowicz, Adam Zampa... he's the first ski i can think of though.

deaneus, are you going to let the ***** jibe stand?
Exactly.Is Pucovski name of Polish origi? I suspect it's more Baltic or Russian. There is no "v" in the polish alphabet. They use a "w" and pronounce it "v".
India completely outplayed us for most of the series.Because we were incredibly bad, and still the toss of the coin a couple of times could have changed results.

It wasn't the "first time in decades", it was the first time ever that no Australian batsman scored a century in a 4+ test series in Australia.It was the first time in decades where no batsman scored a century for the whole series. I think the Indians had 9/10 top scores, including the top 7.
I posted from the Shield final that he got narky with somebody in the crowd. Then there was the ' ball tampering ' in the same gameI don't recall Wade being a personally abusive line-crosser or rule-stretcher, but Vader might be right.
Champagne comedy, cheers! (nearly made coffee come out of my nose, my bad timing)Australia's chances of winning just rose from 0.3% to 5%.
OffiesCan Turner bowl?

As am I, and Deaneus:
As for not living with your mother, I'd guess she's a happy woman. Lucky, certainly.

Ugh.India completely outplayed us for most of the series.

India winning was a fair reflection of their dominance which was not mainly due to winning the toss.
You have been on a mission to give excuses why we were unlucky to lose the series.Ugh.
Never has anyone said the results were mainly due to the toss.
India were 5-80 in one test and 8-100 in another - both tests we still managed to lose!
We were s**t. We bat first in Melbourne and Adelaide, though, and who knows.
But it will always be who knows, because they facts are we didn't and India won.
There are 2 separate issues:You have been on a mission to give excuses why we were unlucky to lose the series.
We were not unlucky, but comprehensively beaten. Would have lost the series even if we won every toss as our batting was incapable of putting enough runs on the board
Finally the selectors have got the message & have made some positive changes, including dumping the Marsh brothers & Finch.
4 months out .....needed in 2 months ......maths not working outHopefully not too serious as we need him back in a couple of months when his ban has finished including the world cup.
He's banned until March 29th, so he wouldn't be available in 2 months anyway. Effectively, this only extends his non-availability by about 5 weeks.4 months out .....needed in 2 months ......maths not working out
