There's also young P J Cummins who is on the comeback trail from a foot injury after making hist test debut in South Africa last year. He's currently taking part in an Under 19 Carnival with Australia making the semi finals which are being played today. He scored 50 not out in Australia's innings against NZ. Could make a handy number 9 one day?

If you have Foxtel, they're replaying it tonight on one of the sports channels. Of course, it's nowhere near the same when you know the result. The game will go down in history as one of the more inspired captaincy decisions because the last pair in the first dig looked as if they could bat on for hours.

Strange thing happened to me today. Had a visit from a Hawk supporter who told me he was frustrated with one aspect of the game in that he claimed his team was "crucified" by the umpires. Just checked the stats and they received 29 frees to Geelong's 24. If that's a crucifixion then what do you call 21-1 at half time and 32 - 12 at the end of the game?

Well here's my contribution to this thread which is all about amazing things like miracles happening in unusual circumstances - Crocodile Bites Off Part Of Elderly Man's Testicles In Zimbabwe; Jonah Maturure Survives Attack . Even in adversity of the worst kind, people can survive so why get upset about losing a football match or a pair of agates?

I'm not sure which competition is more meaningless - the one day series or the NAB Cup? Could someone please tell me how the one dayers finish? Is there a grand final?

The No T$ No B$ Thread
I'm surprised that nobody here has seen fit to comment about the fact that yesterday will become known as the day the music died again - the day they released the GWS club song. Actually, they didn't release it - it just escaped. I heard it while driving to Casey Fields for yesterday's practice match and I nearly ran the car off the South Gippy Highway. For some reason, I was expecting the GWS song to resonate with the sounds normally associated with belly dancers and cheap felafel joints but a disco version of a Cossack dance from the steppes of Russia? Far out!!!! What's more is that it got even better when I saw vision of players lip synching their new song on video, Milli Vanilli style. How appropriate for a fake football club to evoke images of that group of frauds with the release of their club song? For all that, while this catastrophic piece has undoubtedly set the song writing for new franchises industry back some decades, I still reckon that, as bad as the song is, it's the best thing to ever emanate from the black hole we know as Greater Western Sydney. Those bastards deserve it - and more!!!

This subject has probably had a run here in the past but I really can't abide some of the calisthenics that pass for allowable bowling actions these days, especially among the Sri Lankans. My old cricket coach would be rolling in his grave.
