<p>Now that you've said it, I'm thinking more the good old "severed thumb" trick.</p>
<p>I took a terrible piece of photojournalistic licence there and rearranged the sequence to fake laughter | feigned interest | fake laughter. Erm. For balance.</p>
<p>The Haydos one from the other thread was my inspiration. He had this silly look on his face the whole night. Sort of an embarrassed look as if he'd been sprung doing something naughty. In the last frame he looks like he's just realised he's filled a load in his pants. The purple haze is the stench – in the <a href="http://i55.tinypic.com/qryyd5.jpg" rel="nofollow"> classical Ren and Stimpy style</a> where a smell is noticeable in the visible spectrum.</p>
<p>It's much brighter than all the other pics, so it's a safe bet that he did actually fill a load in his pants.</p>

Roy Fredericks hooking a fierce DK bouncer for 6, only to realise he'd trod on his stumps. Interviews with Cool Clive, Gus Gilmour, Dennis Amiss etc...Pakis on the take even back then as they squandered a gilt edged chance against the Windies?? Alvin Kallicharran belting DK in a pool game and in a semi, Hadlee. Can't say there is much anticipation about the coming WC. With 3 in a row, no real hunger for Oz to win it either.

<p>Jeez a lot of cricketers are dumb. And they spent the whole night interviewing them or replaying interviews with them. Not a good mix. Most of them sounded like school boys last night.</p>
<p>And how many references to piss? It was like being back in the early 80s. Grow up. Jesus.</p>
<p>The big highlight, however, was Michael Clarke having a domestic and Shane Watson having a BIG OLD CRY reminiscing how Clarke hit him with the ball. Didn't he go on about it [Clarke eluded Watson was angry about it for ages].</p>
<p>Clarke had a point with "maybe if you'd thrown it properly, Brad" [paraphrased] but I don't think that was the time or the place.</p>
<p>And what did Watson expect? He was aimlessly lurking in line of sight of the stumps. Maybe he was expecting a soft relay throw, but that doesn't excuse aimless lurking.<br />
