Am from the area myself... W'bool, that is. How's the weather?

Cool at night, but a lovely day today, gets a bit windy on occassion. I am getting to know the area, we have a house near Tower Hill. I spend two days a week cutting the weeds they grow so quick.

 

Not too many Dee supporters but enough, the colours are being worn around town.

    Sure, Boland took 6 for 5. But then he got carted. Gave up 2 more runs while not taking any more wickets. However, he's a Vic, so I hope he keeps his place and can pull his weight in the next Test.

    Six for seven off four (21 deliveries). That means 15 dud deliveries. Definitely room for improvement. 
    P.S. you know your cricket side’s good when a bloke takes six for seven but isn’t guaranteed a spot in the next Test. 😁
    Not unlike when your footy team’s so good that a bloke who kicks six goals doesn’t end up with the Norm Smith.

    Boland bowled at test standard. Excellent line and a length that enabled him to gain maximum advantage from a pitch that was helpful but not unplayable.

    The English "batsmen" on the other hand, were simply deplorable. Apart from Root, they would be embarrassed at club level.

    How could one be good at anything with a name like Root...

    I would have thought that with a name like that he’d be more a lover than a fighter BBO.

    Perhaps so Neil but I can only image that first introductions may have been perilous.

    I'm assuming his paternal grandfather played guitar for T-Rex.

    Well perhaps horticulture and one other thing.

    So you're not from the area? Get over to Port Fairy. Take the walk around Griffiths Island around sunset and keep an eye out for the wallabies.

    I'm guessing the Koroit boys won the Hamden League again...?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
