I suggest it is a contraction of dildo.
What’s a dill?

Ah, splendid. Wraye emails to reveal the two words Shane Warne uttered in earshot of the stump mic were “Fucking dill” and “softcock”. There’s a bit of a hoohar going on about the microphone, which has provided immense amusement to me and no doubt most people – but not Australia. They were unaware their poetry was being broadcast, and would like to be left alone to abuse and torment South Africa in private. Fair enough if you ask me.
What, though, is a dill? Because for most of my life, my brother’s called me a dill-head, dill-brain and a f****** dill-weed (in a brotherly sort of way you understand). I always took them as a compliment, but now that I’m significantly taller than him, I might have to take issue with the term dill!

in Germany, a dill is a small green pickle. A small green thing. A mini-cucumber in vinegar.

Australia’s overseas tours are broadcast on our pay-tv over here! And with there digital service you get lots of features like, you can have a split screen going and have highlights playing in one and live action in the other. You can check the scorecard when ever you want. But the most interesting one is how you can turn the commetery off and just listen to the effects mic! Durring the first two tests the moment Andre Nel cam out to bat i would turn off the commenrt, but when i tried it third time around they were turning the stump mics off!! What away to spoil peoples fun!

We should be able to listen to all the sledging. If the broadcast has a pin code to protect kids from listening. This could stop some of the worst abuse from cricketers, but we still would still be able to listen to the funny sledges.

At least Warne only called Nel (?) a ‘dill’. Imagine the poor plight of Roger Dill from Bermuda!
