An Appropriate Metaphor?

[Buenchico]

Writing before the start of the 4th Test Match, Jim Maxwell wrote (on the Australian Broadcasting Service website): "Australia had a hiccup at Cardiff, a banquet at Lord's, a stomach upset at Edgbaston".

Any suggestions as to the metaphor he might now be considering for the events at Trent Bridge?

Methyl:
Is that a metaphor or simply a statement of fact?

Canary42:
For heaven's sake! Be realistic! They're Ozzies! You can't have part of your brain removed if you've not got one to start with!!!

Douglas9401:
Well that certainly covers their fielding, anyway!

Now now, Chris I must protest .... That doesn't apply to all of us !! Beginning to think our team have lost theirs somewhere between here and there though, if I'd been at Trent Bridge I'd have asked for a refund !!

Just as I clicked on 'Submit', at 2346 above, I suddenly wondered if you'd be around, Seekerz!

I think that most people at Trent Bridge would have happily paid DOUBLE to watch today's events!

Yes I can see why you might think that, Chris ...oh how the mighty have fallen ...sort of thing !!

Trouble is, if we hadn't been quite so bombastic ( and big headed ) but then trumpet blowing is an Ozzie past time :))
