His performance with the surprisingly teneder Kerry O'Brien, struck me not so much as a man "squirming", Rob, as a man who didn't comprehend that he should have been squirming. He possibly would have been squirming, of course, had not the gentle O'Brien avoided the needed follow up questions.

Well you might have if I'd thought of it first. Bugger! Smart arsed West Australians, you can't live with 'em and you can't ... well ... you can't live with 'em! That's why God in his infinite wisdom parked W.A. way over there where no one will notice it. “Skinned Flint” … you stole that from me! Well you might have if I’d thought of it first.
