Greg Chappell is the best batsman I've seen though Punter is a wonderful player Interesting criteria that was used including (I think) entertainment value ( or such like ) Would have loved to have seen Keith Miller play as he "had it all" by all accounts ! You've got the top 3 right - hard to argue with that trio .

Thanks for that old dee Melbourne could be on foxtel a fair bit , though I reckon 7 will have predominantly Victorian team match ups - for ratings purposes . It's probably going to come down to how many times we're drawn against interstate teams . I was a bit surprised to hear Eddie's name connected to Foxtel - If he calls games it probably won't involve Collingwood as they're nearly always on free to air . Cheers

Herald Sun are reporting that Eddie will be the new face of Foxtel - Is this new ? I hadn't heard it before . It's mentioned in the "Mick Malthouse to join Channel 7" story . Sort of makes it even more of a competition between the 2 AFL providers doesn't it ?

SNF this week features Dallas @ Philadelphia - big divisional rivalry game with both teams seeming to have similar 4th quarter problems . A lot of the tv games this year have been mismatch's which is a shame cos there's nothing like an NFL game going down to the wire . MNF this week is goodin as well with San Diego at KC - Can't wait for both The Foxtel games don't do much for me this week though the "Tim Tebow" factor vs Detroit might be interesting . Doesn't look like ONEhd are covering any of the Sunday early or late games ( live ) Cheers , Nuggets

Anybody else watching the Manchester derby ? ( no spoilers from me ! )

http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=sU9VAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rJQDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2497%2C4525837 More random stuff ! "This Sporting Life" from a 1983 News archive ( The Age ) Demons in the news and Wells nearly came back - The Barassi letter is a classic - how times have changed !

You'll no doubt know about this one "Wyl" but for others - "Burn After Reading" ( Another Coen Bros ) - found it funnier the 2nd time around !

Bedazzled is brilliant and Strangelove is an all time classic - I'll no doubt find the other 2 - Ta !

Yeah , I can just see us all rockin up to the Premiere of ...................................."Demonlanders" ( The Movie )

I'll check "Performance" out as well - good reviews btw Always been a fan of off-beat humour - The Party , Evil Roy Slade and The Big Labowski are one's that I'd recommend .

Just watched the clip - ridiculously funny - and I've already managed to get a hold of the movie ( tomorrow ) - ah what a quick world we live in ! Btw - what is this particular thread about anyway ? Hope I haven't hijacked it ! I'm "Johnny-new-boy" - don't wanna get banned too quickly !

I'll check it out - cheers !

Yeah the British Bands were the Kings - esp that psychedelic / progressive rock era - Small faces , Badfinger , Procol Harum , Moody Blues - too many to mention - fantastic era for Rock

Wow - that's gotta be a classic memory ! Can't imagine anything like that happening now though I stand to be corrected - great stuff Don't have too many regrets but couda / shouda / wouda done the "Sunbury" thing in my youth .

I was just a tad too young for a lot of the sixties bands stuff - which is a shame really cos it was a great era - though Thorpie , The Easybeats , Chain and lots of others are firmly etched in the memory - How about "The Groove" - Australia's 1st "Supergroup ! "

Random off subject comment - If ya like "Curb your enthusiasm" try "Lead Balloon" with Jack Dee . Oh , and the doco about "Exile on Main St" is on again - one of the foxtel music stations in early November - well worth a watch .
