...under him seems more insular than ever. One day, hopefully, Australians will tire of denigrating English sporting teams; their mocking of English cricketers since 1989 has been especially merciless. It was thus bewildering that at an awards ceremony in Melbourne last month, Ponting took offence at former England spinner Phil Tufnell's taped send-up of Australia's Ashes campaign. Ponting said he wouldn't have minded so much had Tufnell "ever really done anything against Australia."

...saying “On a scale from one to ten, how much do you want to have sex with me?” Just try to run through your “Top 5” first before moving onto lower-echelon type sluts. BTS2 Gear: Punxatawney Phil has spoken, and he says there’s going to be six more weeks of winter. That means two things. First, he’s predicted the same thing six years in a row, and maybe he should be reminded of the choices. Second, though the weather has been decidedly...
