Warnie to retire?

Did you watch Rugby in the 70's on ABC last night? One of the guys said "people think the Wallabies hate the All Blacks. They've it all wrong. We HATE England more than anything else."

So in other words, he said nothing at all. Got to love journos. The blurb on the home page is simply majestic:

So .... there are two possibilities here:-

(Leaving aside the many and varied potential future actions of Glenn McGrath)

1. The journo who wrote this convoluted piece of tortured gibberish is trying to be very clever and cover several angles at once, or

2. The journo who wrote it is a complete tosser with a barely adequate grasp of what is almost certainly his or her native language.

Anyone taking bets on which is correct?

both

My first thought was that they meant to say "Australian paceman Glenn McGrath hasn't said he won't necessarily follow Shane Warne into retirement", which would confuse the hell out of anyone and heaven forbid any Russian readers should try to make sense of it.

Then I thought maybe it was "Australian paceman Glenn McGrath has said he won't necessarily follow Shane Warne into retirement", which makes a bit more sense, but still says nothing at all.

Maybe it's meant to be "Australian paceman Glenn McGrath says he won't necessarily follow Shane Warne into retirement", which is the same outcome as above - ie nothing.

No, in hindsight, I think you are right... The journo is a complete tosser.... :D

I thought that this thread was about Warnie being a tosser?

Hasn't he left already!!!!
