Down under, beer company Victoria Bitter have brought out miniture David Boon's and Ian Botham's that sit on your TV and talk to eachother whilst you watch the cricket. They're calling it the Battle for the 'Tashes, 'Tashes being moustaches!

So out of everyone to play the game, who d'you reckon had/has the best 'tash?

Thought I should try and make a pearler for my first ever thread on here !

Hughes and Boon actually still have moustaches, but Merv's is better these days!

What about when a lot of the NZ lads grew special ones to celebrate their first T20 international - there were some crackers there

The talking Boony doll has to be the greatest piece of marketing I've ever seen. Have they done this in other countries as well, or was it just for VB in Australia?

I can't wait for this second version, as well as the Botham one. The original Boon doll had some great comments, and Channel 9 managed to trigger them with superb effect.

"Show us a replay of that!"

"Looked out from here ump"

"He's throwing down pies"

"Where's me beer?"

All of which would leave everyone in the room roaring with laughter.
It's a long way to the shop, if you want a sausage roll.

Goochie probably has had the biggest on an English face since the second world war.

If it came to sideburns though , Godfrey Evans wins hands down!!
