Is Steve Smith of French origin?

Maybe that's why his batting looks like he's playing French cricket

His performance in the ball tampering scandal shows he is definitely a surrender monkey, but whether he is cheese-eating has yet to be confirmed.

Like the French in the case of Maginot, he places too much faith in the Line

French-Australian; the worst possible combination one can imagine for superintending surreptitious ball-tampering.

Obviously French. Who else other than a Frenchman could think that flaming yellow is a great colour for anything?
Obviously Australian. Who else other than an Australian could think that the most vivid colour would be the one least likely to be seen by the cameras?

If Richie Benaud is the typical French-Australian, then that's a pretty high benchmark, tbf.

Surely when it comes to cheats with altered balls comparisons, US Postal is the go-to team?

Didn't anyone ever teach you to not kick a man in the nut when he's down?

# Live strong brother.

re- the OP - Devereux is as Anglo-Saxon as fish and chips. Sure, Jews fried the fish in batter first, and sure the French fried potatoes first, but the English added vinegar. And voila - it is as English as Robert being your mother's brother. And that's all it takes to be British, ask Richard the Lionheart who only spoke French and Latin but was still a celebrated King of England. So there's no point having the slip cordon speak in German to Smudger, he won't surrender that easy. He will fight them on the dustbowls, he will drive and pull them on the roads, it will be his finest hour before stumps.
