That’s a really good point Chris… Maybe it’s not as far fetched as I had originally thought.
Time will tell!
Can Virat Kohli pass Sachin Tendulkar as Test cricket's most prolific run-getter?
Hi Harvey,
Yes, this is my main concern. I’m a firm believer that as age catches up with you, your reflexes are dulled. Tendulkar was a once in a generation type player – not taking anything away from Kohli or his magnificent career to date, but I would have thought that at the same stage of 114 innings Kohli would need to be a fair way ahead of Tendulkar’s stats to catch him at the end if the decline happens like I suspect it will.
Still, 2 amazing cricketers which have provided many memorable (and some not so memorable) moments. Long may it continue.

Hi David,
I’m searching for some clarity here;
Are you suggesting a currently 29 year old Kohli on 5754 runs is on track to outscore Tendulkar who amassed 15,921 runs in his career?
Is that correct?

As the Dockers broke from the three-quarter time huddle, Ross Lyon gave the last word to Hayden Ballantyne: “Sweep the leg”, or something to that effect, you’d imagine.
I’m no lip-reading expert, but it seemed to me he was telling Balla “No punches”
Reliving the inexplicable, mesmerising end of Andrew Gaff’s season
I thought the debate was because Ben was in the system for a full year (albeit injured) and therefore the question mark surrounding that?
There should be no debate: Ben Simmons is the Rookie of the Year
Massive blow.
Feel terrible for the bloke.
With Cameron out you just felt it was his time to make that big statement he’s always shown glimpses of.
Eagles for me this week after that news.

Absolutely disgraceful. The most reprehensible scene I have witnessed in basketball, and maybe in all of sport.
There is a still shot of Sobey being held by a security guard and getting hit flush from perhaps a crowd member or team official from the Philippines.
Unfortunately I cannot post it here but the following link has it as a still before the video starts:

Australia aren't guilt-free, but FIBA should throw the Philippines out
Hahahaha unless your cat has a laser attached to it’s head good luck… 😛
To your point about Carlton, I totally agree – mainly because Macca would have every second post as his own
Trout out: Saints fishing in the wrong pond for a long-term solution
Why Rick?
All because of 1 opinion article on an internet full of them?
We’ll just ignore the record membership year shall we?
Root cause indeed.
Bows and being drawn at length come to mind, but you continue with your thoughts.

What we can glean from Denmark's match against Peru?
Hi Scott,
Many thanks for the updates mate.
I’m awake with a sick little one and can’t find this broadcast on tv – I thought Ch 9 were televising it?
How’s the pitch behaving?

It’s bizarre…we needed an edge rusher but going all in like that to get one?? He’ll have a heap of pressure on him to perform, hope the kid is up to it.

Not sure trading away next years first for a DE is a positive move… time will tell I guess.
Also, many thanks for the call Chris!

I actually think this issue is more to do with the commentators lacking a basic grasp of the English language. Somebody get them a thesaurus!
I also suspect that there are a few GOP that would love the term “dour” dropped when describing them – I know which I would prefer to be labelled with.
Why it's time to drop the ‘M' word when referring to our favourite Indigenous athletes
Can’t agree with all your points Jay,
Firstly; Clark has shown plenty in 2 games, but being his first season will need a break soon before his body falls to the rigors of AFL,
Secondly, Ben Long has tremendous potential and is well ahead of his leading competitor in Jack Lonie (who can’t stick a tackle if he was covered in tar)
Thirdly, Stevens had an absolute mare of a game as a supposed inside mid, and his performances prior to that have been bog average – his non-selection this week is about as certain as the sun coming up. Dunstan to replace.
The ruck situation is absolutely diabolical. Easily our number one priority to remedy (along with outside run). RoMo may be the option but he has question marks on his tank. Gilbert is another option as it effectively gives us another midfielder, we aren’t winning the hitouts to advantage now so what’s the difference?
Mattress Guts, Membrey and Bruce are unsustainable with the current skill level of inside 50’s. If anything I would prefer Paddy to get a string of games and Battle to replace Bruce.
The decision to play players out of position is totally baffling – Sinclair was rated an elite winger by champion data last year but this year sees him rotting in the forward line where his laser disposal is redundant. Same with Billings and Acres, play them as a high half forward and in the guts.
Last week against the Roos was appalling (credit to North they were very good when it mattered) the club cannot continue to perform as such and I would expect a response from the playing group this week against the Crows.
Also Richo is safe as houses with a 3 year extension til end of 2020, he wont be sacked unless we have another 20 rounds of last weeks performance.
Pathetic St Kilda in turmoil
CA will hang these blokes out to dry and punish them more severely than required by ICC regulations in an attempt to deflect the heat from themselves.
Admittedly the ICC punishments are about as tough as a wet salad leaf but the entire administration needs an overhaul.

Great article David – the info on Herb Elliot and Ken Rosewall is fantastic (both before my time unfortunately).
Your summation is perfect: disappointed.
This is the most disappointing sporting moment in my lifetime
100% correct Rabbitz.
Calm yourselves people: Steve Smith’s behaviour isn’t that unusual
Spot on Ryan.
And to Tim, absolutely we should be holding ourselves to a higher degree than the corrupt ICC.
Maybe, just maybe, if we punish these foolish, corrupt and arrogant Australians the ICC might, just might, realize this is a serious if not the most serious issue involved with cricket at the moment.
The road back to respectful cricketing nation is a long one and starts with CA.
Calm yourselves people: Steve Smith’s behaviour isn’t that unusual
Shocked.
The Australian Captain has orchestrated and condoned cheating….
After his presser it’s clear Smith has no idea what the fallout from these actions are. CA needs to sack him immediately and send the leadership group and Bancroft on the first flight home.
Absolutely disgraceful.
I can handle the taunts and the on field abuse and the other incidents that constitute approaching (but never crossing) this imaginary “line”, but Is is indefensible. Cheating! Blatant honest to God cheating.
Unbelievable. My young bloke asked me what it means and why I was so angry at the tv this morning – the Death of Australian Cricket doesn’t begin to describe it.
The bloody fools.
The integrity of Australian cricket is in tatters
No Carlisle in the backline but you have Brown? Wowee.
What would the Bulldogs and Saints look like if they merged?
Hopefully the Aussies don’t capitulate like the Poms are currently doing in NZ….
South Africa vs Australia: Third Test preview and prediction
Should be an absolute cracker!
Always love playing South Africa – guaranteed to bring fire and passion with their quicks and patient, entertaining innings with the bat.
I’m glad Rabada is allowed to play (rightly or wrongly – I believe rightly) and as another poster noted the other day (apologies for not referencing) I hope Faf wins the toss and bowls just so he can “unleash Rabada, who cares what the pitch is doing?”
Worry for Australia with fragile batting unless it clicks and the bowling stocks as Glenn rightly points out look shaky…
Going to be an absolute gem this evening; AFL is back, the Storm are playing and the cricket will be scintillating – apologies to work in advance for tomorrow.
Great read Glenn.
Finally, we can just talk about the cricket
Hi David,
Thanks for replying!
As I posted above I have my doubts and when I read it initially it seemed like a bridge too far – but with sound reasoning from Chris (above) and yourself I could see it potentially happening.
Like you say, Kohli is capable of giving it a helluva shake and we will be the lucky onlookers soaking it all in…
Gun to head I’d still back the Little Master though 😛
Great piece,
again, thanks for responding.
