Great man on the field. Unsurpassed.

Off the field, not so much. I never bought the whole "Mum gave me a tablet" routine, hot on the heels of "I never grabbed that kid's camera" (after footage shown of him doing it) or "I don't smoke now I'm on Nicorette" (and then seeing pics of him puffing away). First class plonker is Warney.

Your choice. SKW is a legend. On and off the park.

"Oh ****!!!"

As soon as I saw that girl crash on the road race cycling. That would have left a move.

Now, SKW had nothing to do with that. My mate who works for channel 9 editing introduced me to ther person who said it.

Mahatma Cote said that it was Simon O'Donnell. He's a pretty reliable source usually.

I don't know what to believe,

I very much doubt that it was Joe though. Why would he care whether some fringe player could throw the ball or not? When he got interviewed on Channel 9 he didn't even seem like a massive cricket fan who knew the nuances of the game.

Big night ahead. Lets go Aussies. I'm hoping the rowing gets underway after being suspended yesterday.

On the park, yes.

If you think he's a great man off the park, you're off your meds again.

Honestly, calling Steve Waugh selfish. You're always into pissing contests Shane, compare what your Foundations have done.

He may have been the greatest cricketer, but he's a piss-poor human being.

You know what channel 7? don't show the same ****ing thing over and over just because Australia's in it, show some other stuff that happened. It's the World Olympics, not the Australian Olympics, i don't need to see the ****ing hockey v Spain for a third time.

Their are far worse people in this world and IMO - they are shit human beings. He doesn't abuse his kids. He doesn't abuse other kids. He doesn't let his kid go hungry for days on end and buy his smokes, alchole or drugs.

He's an average Australian, you just know more about his goings on. Stop Judging him on the media dislike of him and our countries ablity to knock that tall poppy down.

What about all the good things you never hear about?

That's why the Foxtel coverage in London rocked. You could watch more thsn just the Australian coverage and competitors.

But lots of people miss plenty anyway as its over night and during the days when they are at work. I only watch like 3 hours a day. 7 pm to about 10:30 pm
