An Aussie rules tragic for 39 years, and a keen observer of all live sports. Partial to the big off-season stories.

Yes excellent point Chris. Often bowlers attract more scrutiny when there are long spells late in a test with no wickets – that last point clearly applies in those cases.

If India want a dustbowl, they must learn how to bat on it

Bringing Parkin back for a second stint in 1991 was one of the best decisions ever made by a footy club. Maybe the club needs to swallow their pride and do the same with Brett Ratten.

Since the Parkin era, the Blues have lost 68% of their games when not coached by Brett Ratten.

Ratten got the Blues to 7th, 8th and 5th, and his winning record of 50% is second only to Parkin (63%).

And it’s not getting any better – since Malthouse was dropped in round 8 of 2015, Carlton have lost almost 3 out of 4 games played! (73%)
