A TV ad in NZ Mick.
Became a well known quip: Monique said you're dumb..."
And therefore a play on the nick name given to Davey by commentator Mark Richardson: Davey Dumb Dumb after the sledging and then sand-paper issues.
A compliment really because of the damage Davis used to do at the top of the order...
God, it's lost its edge with all this explanation tho...
When I heard that Mr Warner was going to do some commentary on TV,I gave thanks that I currently live back in the UK.That was until I turned the Channel 4 coverage of the 3rd Test here and heard Graeme (aren't I a funny guy) Swan strutting his stuff...It makes you want to cry!!!!!
The current bat dimensions have been revised, a runner is no longer allowed, limit to bouncers bowled an over, fieldsmen on the leg side, giving blokes a send off. All those rules have been adjusted because of low acts that have brought about rule changes. The lowest thing I see on a field is batsman standing their ground even thou they know they have whacked the cover off the ball. Excuse ? Well I reckon I wasn’t out once before. Do you walk? Or do you make sure the umpire has to raise his finger because, hey that’s the rule?
In Brisbane Warehouse cricket at least 50% of players don't tuck their shirt in. A big disadvantage to a batting side in a 50-50 line-ball waist high full toss when the umpire can't see precisely where his waist is, pretty much where the tucked in shirt meets the trousers.
I am getting this horrible feeling that Warner will be the voice of cricket for the next 30 years. I just don't think I can.....I just can't.
Most likely he will go the way of Clarke.
No ... it wasn't outlawed because nobody forsaw to that point the potential ramifications of having any sort of dealings with bookies and how it could potentially compromise a player.
Why don't you rubbish Marsh and Lillee for what they did at Headingly 1981? That is also now outlawed but wasn't at the time.
On the “scale of offences”, where does that rate compared with ball tampering, vile sledging, underarm, providing information to an Indian bookmaker etc. Just wondering.
Well, that backfired...
Conway roasted that attack playing some very pure cricket shots.
He was superb and will be a mainstay for the Black Caps over the next few years.

Hussein and Atherton are good commentators as was Bob willis. Gower's ok but Bonham's boring as batshit and not impartial. David Lloyd is awesome.

Mark Waugh hasn't added anything insightful in any commentary stint he's ever done.

And those same batsmen, when fielding, will cry foul and sook for the rest of the day when an opposition batsman stands his ground instead of walking.

Well he's got a long way to go ... pretty boring commentator so far based on that little bit.

Love that defence. It wasnt outlawed because no right thinking person consider people sinking to those lows.

Underarm bowling and providing info to bookies were both legal at the time and only outlawed since.

David Warner certainly knows a thing or two about being silly
