Do you keep forgiving guys like this? You can forgive, but never put them in a position of leadership.
He's just a normal working class bloke who came good (at least for a while), perhaps someone like you reminded him not to get above his station once too often? Any number of things could've wound the bloke up to this point, I doubt it was his 'street urchin' background. Honestly, you'd be Tim nice but Dim if you were nice

Ironic you should bring class into it so much, seeing as you quite obviously have none judging by the quote below

We all know how he SHOULD have reacted to DeKok's digs, but who amongst us would've reacted differently to Warner had their wives' past history been dug up and her made out to be a slut. How would you feel Bozo?

He was always going to cop from the crowd, but what's he going to do about that? Complain?

You're plucking bits of news that align nicely with your preconceptions about Warner and Smith, like I say I think they're both cheating bastards, Bancroft is the only one who deserves a bit of sympathy.

You seem to think you're in the know about something, or at least you're making out you are, care to share or is it just an extension of previousy formed opinions, like most?

Speaking of Bozo's, you said it yourself. Working class kid come good for a while. Do I need to say more. You are doing a fine job Bozo.

Plenty of working class kids are always good. Plenty of middle class kids are always bad.

In the case of Warner, born and bred on the once mean streets of Matraville (gentrification makes them not so mean anymore). You stoke the fire of a street urchin, it's going to get pretty hot.

You ask what I would do is someone said badly about my wife? Well firstly I married a woman without a history, secondly I would say what I said above, perhaps dig some dirt on him and wait for the next innings. Why, would you lose it like Warner? You seem to think it's appropriate behaviour?

Yes I am in the know. You don't play cricket for as long as I have without knowing a few people.

She passed the interview and background check before you popped the question then? Good for you

If someone bear faced called my wife a whore, then yes it is acceptable behaviour, I would wonder about a husband who took that lying down and didn't react instantly to be honest, If Warner had left it there he'd have made more friends than enemies

Yes I am in the know. You don't play cricket for as long as I have without knowing a few people. Out with it then or it's more bullshit, why would I feel sorry for Smithy??

You support Warner's reactions. Ok, your call. Not the way I would behave. Maybe I am too pompous and you are not. Unfortunately I still don't believe its the way the non-pomp should behave.

Maybe he can use your reasons in his appeal.

Hope you have your eyes on the NZ test. Could be England's first win in a long time.
Trotts, I understand he uses Twitter, was polite enough to say good bye to Dave Warner, so why not tweet him and ask.

I didn't mess it up, it came out exactly as I wanted. I've been keeping it simple throughout so you could understand.

Before you say you wouldn't react badly to insults about your wife, remember you accused me of being bitter, spiteful and getting personal when I compared you to an oompa loompa , so unless you're completely on the skew I think you probably would.

Non-pomp?? you really do invite insults don't you?

I don't use Twatter. The likes of Michael Vaughan do so I stay well away otherwise I may be forced to remind him of the bus he was rolled under by Trescothwick.

If you see Trotter, ask him how he's getting on.

So asks the graduate of Bogan high with a Bogan low. Twater is till too smart for you. As for Trots, me not being English, I am not sure I will be around for afternoon tea to ask.

As for Trescothick saying anything; You might remember the relevant post you made. I know its hard but even a Bogan low grade should not make it too difficult for you to recall. Something to do with mentally ill, you should be able to relate. Anyway I have promised to not mock the afflicted. So I will zip it from here on in and let you spit the dummy and throw the toys out of your pram, bet you your drop the lot
