Tossers like you are the reason I seldom post on this site. Pathetic.

I was fortunate to know Geoff in the early sixties after he returned to play footy and cricket for the Ballarat footy/cricket clubs. A gentleman in every sense of the word yet competitive and brave on the field. Respected by his students at Ballarat Grammar School. Not huge in stature, he regularly took on bigger men at CHF for Ballarat and gave them a lesson. RIP Tunna. Sad news for ET no doubt.

A decent effort from the PM's X1 replying with 331, Maxy 136 off 89.

The English certainly took the long handle to the PM's attack today at Manuka, 6/391 off the 50 overs with bell amassing 187.

There are a number of time saving factors other than the game reduction Grapeviney, the main ones are - No advantage scores after deuce, sudden death point decides the game. Tie breaker after score reaches 3 all which is first to 5 points. No sitting down at change of ends with maximum 60 secs between games.

Didn't mind it as I find long drawn out 5 setters a tad boring. The purists will dislike it in the same manner as traditional cricket lovers don't appreciate 20/20. Whilst on tennis, Sam Stosur is a concern as she continues to blow opportunities.

Yeah mate, stems from being a passionate Victorian living in Queensland - nothing too serious. The grief the locals gave me after they started to dominate the Shield comp after years in the wilderness was pitiful. I'm a huge Burns fan and don't mind a few of the others, Young Alistair McDermott was my next door neighbour for several years during his tertiary schooling, nice fella. Isn't it great to see Pattinson and Cummins on the comeback trail ?

Nice to see the Brisbane Heat put to the sword by the Melbourne Renegades.

Keep it coming RB and thanks.

Welcome Hemmo, we can use positive posters' around here .

Victimised because of the stance they took during the player pay/contract dispute. Administrators having the last say to the detriment of West Indian cricket. Chris Gayle has tweeted his discontent.

Correct.

Moloney didn't shaft a third club on the way through.

The very same tweets I was reading this time last year "can't wait to get out there with the boys" etc. Insincere and sickening.

Clark has already shafted 3 clubs, why not four ?

Nice to the Brisbane Heat put to the sword by the Sydney Sixers.

Amen to that.

The fielding of Joe Burns is a concern, get him out of short leg fgs.

All the same we missed 4 chances today that I saw and had Smith not dropped Kohli at 2nd slip off Starc when he was 59 we would probably be batting again. Watson was terrific today.

Nice to see the Brisbane Heat put to the sword by the Perth Scorchers. Puts paid to their chances.

You missed Max Hislop 1915 and Ken Levey 1943.

I used to follow the game when I was younger and was a Ron Casey fan. I remember listening to the Famechon/Legra and Rose/Harada victories on 3LO. Suspect the game has always been crooked, just like racing.

0/123 at lunch, could be a massacre here, the Indian fielding has been very poor with young Rahul the worst offender allowing 2 chances to go begging. Aussies have made the most of their chances as well as receiving the rub of the green.

Maybe he lost faith in the system ?

Great effort young fella. A reply was the least Frawley could have managed, weak effort imo. BTW I remember the Spittle family from Smeaton just out of Ballarat.
