Thomas, reverse swing can be induced by loading up one side of the ball with sweat (if done surreptitiously) :P From wiki In essence, both sides of a cricket ball have turbulent flow, but in reverse swing, the seam causes the airflow to separate earlier on one side. The side of the ball that has be...

Union, League, Sevens. Agree with the comments about Sevens being boring. Fun to play, but not so much to watch, unless its a massive piss up event where the matches are just background distraction. Nobody in Adelaide has a clue what rugby is, let alone that there are two different versions, so no b...

He does come across as a wanker but honestly that's a pretty minor comment to get all steamed up about. Just a mild bit of banter about his hair ffs. I suspect there's some history between those two for him to get so riled up about it. Yep, talk about an over reaction. Goes on to compare a comment ...

Nope. Still scared about the state borders closing on a whim. Just sticking to South Australia.

Hoping for a big overseas holiday come end of the year/start of 2022. Fingers crossed.

No great loss. The guy is a simpleton. And why does he wear a gun holster 24/7?

Much is made of the blanket blocking of a multitude of sites by Facebook. I mentioned this before but it bears repeating... Facebook suspended the pages of all sites that fell under the governments definition of news site. That included such unlikely entities as the BOM and a multitude of blogging ...

MB keeps trying to troll us on how bad our government is but generally you need to take a somewhat oppositional perspective in order for the trolling to work. Dude, we know how bad our government is.

I used to like Kafer more than I have in recent years. I think his whingeing cvnt mate Kearns got to him in the end. Thank fvck that prick isn't part of Stan. I find Kafer quite moody. When he's pissed off he is quite snarky on the microphone. Yeah, he acted quite the vagina a lot the last few years.

It's interesting how on this forum, opinion for or against about this new legislation is split largely down ideological lines. It's also interesting that this massive new slab of red tape and government interference is being imposed by the Coalition, who like to preach about a smaller government an...

The wording in the legislation is extremely general, so FB have had to use a very broad brush. They should be commended for trying to comply with Australian laws. No they shouldn’t (and who told you the wording is extremely general?). All companies that operate in Aus should comply with local laws ...

Well Stephen, they don't look or act Chinese, because it's not possible to be both Chinese and a New Zealander. And Chinese is an umbrella term meaning anybody with Asian ancestry, so don't come with your nitpicking about "Koreans" and other mythological types. Furthermore I'll have you know that J...

Looks like to start the season it will be Jackson Garden-Bachop at 10 and Jonathan Taumateine at 9.

I see Kearns as more colour commentary. He doesn't need to explain the intricacies of the modern game. In any case, there's not much option when it comes to the Aussie commentators. Greg Gowden is okay. The rest are naff. At least Kearns is amusing. Sean Maloney is excellent. Glad Stan has him as l...
