    Err, yes.  That's gilding the lily somewhat.

    I get the feeling that the author of that line is no stranger to ice.

    James' father Ian was a fine cricketer who once took all ten wickets in an innings of a Sheffield Shield game.

    There’s a HUGE difference between ‘could play a bit’ and ‘legend’

    I’m sure you were closer to ‘legend’ than ‘could play a bit’ - or so you’d have us believe 😁

    Charlie Curnow was called a champion last night. Superlatives are given out pretty easy these days.

    True, and we’ll soon need a bunch of new words to accurately describe someone of true greatness. For example, if James Brayshaw is a cricket legend, what does that make Ricky Ponting?

    It's all inflation. And a fair bit of this 'shrinkflation' that is becoming popular, too. Like how these days, for not particular reason, you need a Bachelor Degree to do what would have been a Diploma job twenty years ago.

    Meanwhile...

    The things you find when you search for 'Too many GOATs'.

    https://www.themanygoatsproject.com/

    A project to coordinate research on goat behaviour across numerous sites because it turns out one of the main features of goat behaviour is that their surroundings can influence their personality in radically unpredictable ways, so it is necessary to simultaneously study goats from a wide range of environments to allow for that situational effect.

    This is exactly the kind of the research collaboration that the internet was originally created for.

    https://www.goodgrowth.earth/post/too-many-goats

    There are too many goats. Not just in sport, but also, Mongolia.

    Cashmere got cheap, so cashmere goat farmers increased their herd and production to try to still turn a profit, which made cashmere get cheaper, so goat farmers increased their herd and production to try to still turn a profit, which made cashmere get cheaper, so goat farmers increased their herd and production to try to still turn a profit...

    Who would've thought that the world was in need of a Goat Cartel?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
