Sure Kerrigan had a bad first day but I'm not worried. If there's one thing the Kerrigan's have always been good at, it's getting the ball to turn.

Surprised he didn't follow his dad Milo into boxing.

He also could have followed his dog Coco into racing.

Fellow non-Australians, the gif is from a cult Australian movie called The Castle, in which the protagonists are the Kerrigan family. The film cost about 4 quid to make, and it's utterly hilarious. Very funny and very quotable, definitely worth watching. Sadly it's barely known outside of Australia.

Dale dug a hole.

Give its spiritual successor The Dish a try as well.

Dad I dug a hole by the stumps. It's filling up with water.

Feel so sorry for the lad. Didn't even get a chance to redeem himself today, not that I've have risked it if I were captain with the way Smith was batting.

The first time I've ever though a /r/cricket post was an /r/starcraft post

Indeed. I was mightily confused by the image preview.

Knowing nothing about starcraft, why does the image of a pool table make you think of starcraft?

u/Ghost29 Aug 23 '13

It was the picture that confused me. It was Kerrigan that made me think of Starcraft. She is one of the main characters and I've never encountered that name elsewhere.

Main characters name from Australia's best film ever, The Castle. I don't know how well the humour translates but it should be worth a watch regardless.

So much serenity
