| − | Have you seen any good films recently? <a href=" http://becomingdomestic.com/buy-septilin-online/ ">buy septilin</a> Events at the periphery in Brisbane provided a further source for Australian optimism. Between Warner and Johnson, one thing is clear: this is an Australian team that knows how to wear a moustache ironically. That arch playfulness, a tactic bound to irritate and backfire when times are bad, carries over into the Australians’ public comments, which often appear more knowingly provocative than the media gives the players credit for. Earlier this year, Warner’s comments about Jonathan Trott’s “weak” dismissal would have been dismissed as a hammy plea for attention from an under-performing batsman. Now, with the Australians resurgent, they are being treated as an offence against the very spirit of the sport, the English captain seeming shocked, shocked to discover Warner’s a smartarse, and rising to the bait with the querulous indignation of a private schoolboy pitching for attention from an uninterested teacher: “Sir, sir - he hit me.” The reaction to Warner’s obvious provocation speaks volumes about the effectiveness of Australia’s ploy in unsettling the English; when you need to appeal to teach for help, you know you’re in trouble.
