Rascal warlords at large

In today's Advertiser Richard Earle again lets himself go. He describes Shane Warne and Darren Lehmann as "warlords" who were "foretasting a beer and a cigarette" before the SA - Victoria match (or "decisive Pura Cup scrap") began today.

In the next paragraph the two protagonists metamorphose into "loveable rascals" who won't change since "no punter on the hill would want them to". It's nearly all there - drinking, smoking and even a hit of gambling. At least on this occasion there's nothing that looks, sounds or smells like racism, so the rascal warlords may escape the attention of the Indian Solicitor-General when he arrives on his fact-finding mission (see previous posting).
