It's rather a big case of whinging Aussies after the first Test Match. First of all, they get wound up about an innocent advert beamed on to Sydney Harbour Bridge, and then Ricky Ponting, The Aussie captain, get's upset when one of the England batsmen changes his gloves. Well, I say - which of us, even the Queen, has not wanted to change our gloves at some stage or another?
When, of when, will the Aussies stop complaining? The next thing you know, they may copy the West Indies players, go into a complete huff, and decline to play.
It was a close-run thing in the first Test Match of the Ashes in Cardiff, but in the end it was a draw. Who knows what might have happened if Australa had had to bat again. All it takes is ten good balls, after all. Of course, there was the small matter of the 670 or so runs that they scored in the first innings, but's let's not worry too much about that.
England have not been humiliated (yet), and what a real plus that is. Things can only get better.
Not too long to go until Duneditin 2009. In the meantime, where's Mrs M in the snap shown below?

How surreal, Ponting accusing others of being unsportsmanlike.
PS I believe Mrs M is standing in front of the ATM, and why not?
I say!
It's rich, isn't it? Coming from the team that bowled underarm to the Kiwis.

I say!
That's not Mrs M at the ATM.

Just down and to the right of the ATM, surely?
I say!
Mrs M is standing facing the camera, to the left of the red post as we look at it.
Actually, the real answer to the question "Where's Mrs M?" is Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok.

I say!
Suvarnabhumi Airport has the world's tallest control tower (132.2 m), and the world's third largest single-building airport terminal (563,000 m²).

That's what I meant.
PS - I say! She's rather a fit filly for her age. Must be the Kalimbuka air and the Cabbage cuisine.
