Sean Abbott took a career-best 6-14 in the second innings of his first match since his short-pitched delivery led to the death of batsman Phillip Hughes.
I really feel that is good news, bowling is as much mental as physical and it is so pleasing to read this.

Very much so. Good on him

because the batters were terrified?

Goes without saying they were Aussies.

Careful, in the Ashes the Stralians are ahead by 1 series and 20 matches; though to be honest they probably stole those.

Why would an Englishman bring that up? Anyone would think you were kissing but. 
|
|

You are absolutely right, but I can't help my mind from wondering about the mental state ot the batsmen receiving the bowling! 
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

Could maybe have had a different title, but I just found it amusing how Relax has gone from being banned on Radio 1 by Mike 'I Am Not a Racist' Read [helps to check the spell] to being played unedited on a mainstay of Radio 4's schedule. And by a Girl Guide too!

Well the spelling helps - I was thinking the comedian and wondering whether he had been caught "stuffing the choirboy with a porky sword" or something.
And don't get me on the 'singing in a foreign accent is racist' subject. Admit it! Who didn't read the crossword post below with a Welsh accent? What? Oh. Only me?

"Most perfect one of five char is the crucial element!" (12)
Winner-stays-on CCC rules:
Normal CCC rules apply.
First person to post the correct answer is the winner. A solution is recommended.
Winner posts the next WSO CCC.
WSO CCCs are posted as close to 09:00 UTC as possible (so everyone has a fair chance at it, it isn't posted in local time) Weekdays, Monday to Friday only.
There are four hours to post the solution: the game is over at 13:00 UTC and if there is no correct solution, the poster wins and gets to do it again the next day.
If the poster wins three times in a row, the next day CCC is set by the person who posted the previous one (unless he was on his third, in which case it goes back - you get the idea) [the idea here is to prevent one person posting impossible clues and staying on forever - this is meant to be a game, people!]
It is the responsibilty of the winner to let the next person know it's their turn the next day. That person can delegate if work commitments intrude, but the previous winner cannot be delegated to.
So if you can't set it tomorrow, don't enter! 
Any complaints about these rules, let me know and we'll bash 'em about a bit to wear the rough edges off...

It happened in past, that I was able to crack the clue, however I'm not native English and I'm almost sure that the only way to me ot make an English CCC is to look up one from book/internet (translating one will not work probably) - is that acceptable?

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

That's a difficult one - we gotta be careful to avoid plagiarism here...

He should absolutely write them on his own. I think his difficulty with the English language would make it, shall we say, more challenging?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

So what of a rule-braker?
Or maybe in that case you start over?

Blimey, we're programmers not rocket scientists.

Christ - you introduce a bit of fun and someone brings in rules!!!
Quintessential = most perfect one
Quint = five cards in the same suit (should that read card not char?)
Essential = crucial
