im up for any radical changes that stop these kickers dominating world rugby. I don;t care how much practice they put in. I don’t pay coin to go watch goal kicking.

Cheika returning rugby to its former self

I can’t see why you reduce the try 2 and 5 is a better percentage. more encouragement to get over the stripe. More forwards will score trys. One for the good guys.

Valid arguement. whats the solution. Scrap the penalty shot ? reduce the points? make them kick blindfolded or on non-preferred? its an on-going battle but a decision needs to be made by all Rugby organisations involved.

Oh i like that idea, more skill involved. Eventually penalty takers will become just as good with more practice. Seems a good short term fix for a much wider issue.

I remember playing it as a junior. Its where the result does not hinge on which team has a better penalty kicker. EIther reduce the points or make it so a penalty goal can not be an option unless more than 40 metres out from goal.

Damo you can’t break that down further to city vs country can you ? Be interesting to know.

Sydney grade cricket's got talent

Brilliant work. I hope you didn’t have to spend a lot of time compiling this. I usually overstate things but I went conservative with at least 20. You got any names you expect to get rookie contracts around aus or bolters for full state contracts?

I have heard this. thats pretty impressive.

Is he playing first grade yet? or still in lower grades? I will have to check out some of your cricket articles.

What about Michael Jordan he was pretty good at Baseball. Israel Falau one of the supreme AFL players.
It takes rare breeds to excel in a lot of fields. This does not only count towards sports either. Many life skills are hard to replicate in other fields with the same degree of talent.

Should Ellyse Perry continue playing two sports?

I think general sports fans should pass the hat around for Elyse Perry. The problem is she will make more money from media/marketing commitments than she will for her sporting talent. Rare talent. She should be able to choose whatever wants to play when she wants. When Sydney FC signed they knew what they were buying. If they ever were to criticise her it would be extremely hypocritical.

I love a good picture book. If carlsberg made banter

Should Ellyse Perry continue playing two sports?

I got bored half way through. Can anyone give me a Summary of the rest. Upto “antiquated” … that will do me.

Should Ellyse Perry continue playing two sports?

I totally agree, but consistent form over time can’t be ignored. Mike hussey was 30 when he played his first test and Stuart Clark similar. It’s a tough call what is too young and too old, but I’d much rather back form over a longer timeframe then what they are doing at present.

Poorly executed, needed to be proof read by someone In his circle. At time It was way to hard to read. The first 2 paragraphs were terribly executed. Wonder how many just stopped reading from there.

The Warniefesto: a good discussion executed badly

Meme, I totally agree. I think this is big money between governement and sport dictating how much the AFL goes back at the ACC and the doping agencies. Enjoy the footy.

Bounce the ball and get on with another season of footy

Hi Pope Paul, Ive only recently seen a few of the classic matchs from that era on Fox sports. It’s brilliant. I’m 30 so its before my birth. I really only wrote about the era that i felt i had a decent grasp on. Thanks for the comment

Hi Amith i think you may have miss-interpreted the reasons for writing the article. It was to demonstrate how players of past eras had to fight a lot harder to get a spot in the Australian team. Thanks

No pseudonym buddy. Thats just my twitter handle. love your efforts and well stated experience. When your doing something for free, there should always be compromises not straight forward authority. I’d love to read an article of yours do you have a link i could view ?

The Australian public's right to select a cricket team

Theres a couple names in that list I’d have to check out. Love it !!!!! Some obscure cricketers of the early to late 90’s. Theres gonna be quite a heated net session if they want to come onboard as net bowlers.

I apologise to readers regarding the editing of this article. very dissapointed with the flow of the article after changes and blatant removal of chunks of my text. Please view www.sportsbanter.com.au/my-right-to-select-the-australian-cricket-team/

NB: Moses Henriques yet to receive full Aussie cap.

It’s not very radical. Take a risk. Check my article out later today on selecting a cricket team. That’s fantasy.
