Re: Brown snakes seem rather friendly
I posted this last year. I was scared shitless at the time. http://www.bytestories.com/story/725adcd1/its-just-a-flesh-wound Last year, while doing rural flood damage inspections, I met one of the most Australian men in existence. His name was Rob and he was a farmer. Rob had finished work for the d...

Re: Best batsmen of all time...
I would have Adam Gilchrist in my top 5. Most explosive and cleanest hitter of a ball I've ever seen, highest strike rate in test cricket, would probably have had the fastest ton in test cricket if Hoggard hadn't bowled a wide, and a very handy average of 47.6. Hard to think of a more entertaining ...

Re: David Warner continuing the fine tradition

AB is having a good trot but he isn't anywhere near the top 10 best batsmen of all time. Let's see in 5 years time. And yet Ali Bacher comes out and says, "In my opinion, AB is the most brilliant, innovative batsman the world has ever seen," :? Even if he is being biased, he is still rating him abo...

There's a fine line between banter and being abusive towards an opponent on a cricket field. Here are two real examples which will show the difference between the two. 1. NZ's Shane Bond is at the batting crease and is preparing to face Bret Lee. Warne yells out from the slips to Bret Lee "He can't...
