Thanks Andrew. Unfortunately, SOB was unable to land the 2nd prize behind BC but overall, it was a good night. Best of luck tomorrow.

If Warner is down the other end, why does the other opening batsman have to score quickly? I actually have some faith in Cowan and would keep him over Rogers.

Clarke 3, he needs to show some batting leadership at a time when we really need it.

Khawaja has to come in for Hughes. He needs to go back to the nets and learn how to play spin before ever returning to the test arena.

I am still yet to completely understand this allrounder situation? Why do we need it? If you play Watson, he should be able to bowl and the tailenders are no mugs with the bat. E.g Starc and his 99.

Lyon is the best spinner in the country and I disagree with throwing a 19yo in the deep for his first test, in the Ashes, over in England.

This is something which is no doubt plaguing Sydney racing at the moment.

I agree with a lot of the points you have made Alfred, especially in regards to the seriously outdated fashion rules. Surely some common sense can prevail and the administrators can bring these fashion rules into the 21st century.

The unfortunate reality for me is that the Sydney population do not have the same passion in attending sporting events as those in Melbourne. Unless something special is happening, many are quite happy to sit and home and watch it on TV.

The younger generation is where the ATC really need to target. For me, if they want to charge up to $8.80 for a beer then they should waive the admission fee. Free entry would have to boost the attendance and it will probably lead to an increase in punting turnover on the track.

Where are the Sydney racing carnival’s punters?

Completely agree Andrew, you would expect it to head to those races?

Great summary and I completely agree with what you say about Sydney. I always underrate them but they have been able to consistently match it with the best over past seasons and you would expect that trend to continue this year.

Personally, I have North Melbourne higher. They showed glimpses of brilliance last year and I think Brad Scott is an excellent coach. I would not be surprised if they even pushed for a first four finish this year.

Overall, I think this season is shaping up to be one of the most even we have had in some time. In addition to your top eight, Richmond and Carlton have to have some claims to get into the finals as well.

I thought Proverb was outstanding first up and is another one to watch from a Derby prospective today.
