The eyes have it

Tim Nielsen was appointed the new Australia coach yesterday. This is the man:

The burning question is: does he have the scariest eyes in cricket since Damien Martyn retired?

Pat,

Can't take you up on Strauss. He's due.

I'd bet the cave on your Nixon proposition.

Two hives says he's giving everyone the s**ts the second he arrives at the breakie buffet.

Why hurt?

To a bear, you are an attractive example of your species. Standing out in a crowd is a good thing I thought.

Mind you, I used to be a carnivore until Channel 9 made me give up humans. Don't worry, Pat. I haven't even dreamt about chowing down on a nice meaty homo-sapiens for years...

It's just been porridge (served just right), and the odd honey down the local for me now for decades.

The price of fame I'm afraid.

So two hives on Nixon's instant gimping?

Ouch, Humph, that hurts.

Two pots of honey on Strauss being England's top scorer now that he's finally got his eye in on this tour. And a side wager on Nixon not being an annoying gimp until the seventh over of the Australia innings

Now I'm worried! I always thought Martyn's gaze had a rather vacuous look. Are you suggesting Nielson, like Martyn, isn't quite all there? I like to think it's mad enthusiasm rather. I hope....

Gday Pat,

Listen mate - I agree about the weirdness of the photos of Timbo and Marto.

But do you really think now is the best time to run this story, considering a photo of your very own mug has just been attached to the 'new-look' website?

Whilst all you humans look very much the same to me, there's no doubt that I could pick you out in a crowd Patty. Know what I mean?

Got any bee juice available for a punt on the Comm Bank final? Don't worry about the result...how about 'highest scorer' or something?
