Aint gonna play Sun City

Leaving aside the irony of the South African cricket team branding elements of the Western Australian cricket fraternity rascist last week, I can confirm there's been no sign of such skullduggery in Melbourne this morning.

No, while we in the sunny West may from time to time be accused of lacking couth, the neo-gothic metropolis of Melbourne is the embodiment of Australian style.

So with pride I can report that when South Africa's Shaun Pollock first took his place in the outfield today, ten thousand Victorians were heard to greet the former captain of the rainbow nation with that good ol' Aussie cheerio: "You are a wanker!".
