Sorry I don't get your point Have you ever been AWOL? I was charged for AWOL. Twice. Defended myself the second time, which is unheard of, and for a not guilty verdict after 2 and a half hours. I was guilty as sin and everyone knew it. The guard was waiting downstairs ready to take me to the cells....

Shocked and saddened to hear this news. A sporting hero to Australians and an icon to the cricket world.Changed cricket forever, while never changing his larrikin/bogan persona.

Great is an overused term these days. Not when applied to Rod Marsh. The fact that he played 96 tests in a team that wasn’t exactly universally loved, yet no one had a bad word to say about him, is very telling. Caught Marsh bowled Lillee is one of the sounds of my childhood.His work at the Cricket ...

I can’t find the image (and sorry if it’s already been posted here) but the sign being held by a protester saying “Can you just fast forward to the bit where you commit suicide in a bunker ” is probably my favourite comment on this horrible situation.

Buttler has been epic. One of the best hitters in the game-yet he is showing immense discipline.

I was an opening bowler at school. I took more pleasure in seeing stumps cartwheeling out of the ground. Hitting the stumps is fun. But don't tell me you didn't glean joy in making batsmen duck and weave. The most joy I ever got playing cricket was in a local business-house league. The batter came ...

From the narrow lens of the ABs performance in the short term, removing the saffas will definelty have an impact. However the SH teams have hopefully worked out that they can't rely on the Soup teams to be a mere feeder competition, they need a competition that will thrive on its own merits and dri...

Add Archer and Stokes in and it might have been a decent contest. I don't think either team is hugely strong right now. Without them, it's hard to see much better than 4-1 if I'm being generous, with a decent chance of 5-0. The Australian bowling attack is world class, especially on Australian wick...

Paul Weller is a fvcking genius. Loved the Jam. Man in the Cornershop is one of my favourite songs of all time. Saw the Style Council in Sydney (1985?) and developed a bit of a crush on DC Lee.

I stopped flying Qantas because they were pretty crap. .... Except for one, somewhat important, consideration... ? You never saw Rainman? Ah right, is that record still current? QANTAS have had several “accidents”. But no one has died. If they continue to outsource their maintenance....well.

Mario Fenech was NRL player of Maltese heritage, and was AKA the Falcon. He was struck on the head by the ball, (in a comical fashion) and the “falcon” was born.
