Current world events, can we have an open discussion?

This thread is now 4 pages and has had 9532 views without a cross word so something is working well.

Could this possibly be attributed to the absence of a large outbuilding?

Whatever do you mean? How could a large shed (or whatever it is that you mean) affect a discussion? I mean, it's an inanimate object with no feelings (or even humour) innit?

I'm surprised that

a) You have heard about such a trivial incident over the other side of the pond.
b) You know what cricket is.

I'm not surprised at your familiarity with sandpaper. Indeed, perhaps that is how this incident got reported worldwide. Blatant misuse of sandpaper. That may be the actual travesty. .

Paul my friend - I would have never even known about the ignominy of the Australian Cricket Team and their love of sandpaper had it not been for our fine Ubeaut Woodworking Forum here....

I feel like with the help of my fine mates down under I am now in the USA's top 1% of Knowledge of Cricket... And here's what I have learned in the last 3 weeks about cricket..
1. You are supposed to hit eachother with the ball
2. Funny looking bats
3. Rubbing the game balls on your own is part of the game...
4. Sandpaper...

We should be. I don't recall anyone saying what GRIT is was

Now, that would start a real argument....

I wouldn't be surprised to hear they were using the back off the paper.
Because the other side was a bit ruff.

They are PROFESSIONAL cricketers so they would only sand to 180 grit

Real pro’s would have used adhesive backed sand paper. Neva woulda been found

It was working so well that the thread got hijacked.

I don't know, they both have something in common, slight of hand and tactics, lack of morals and fair play.......

Anyone want to hypothesize what China said to Kim that's made him supposedly put a lid on his nuclear ambitions or is there some who think DT out bluffed him.
