“It would be a nightmare for AFL.”
I don’t think it would present the slightest problem for the AFL, which is the best run sport in Australia. Not as though they’d be poaching any players, or costing them any TV revenue.

Danny Morrison? Will get a lot of no votes for him.

Sachin Baby (full name Sachin Baby). On December 11, 1988, a 15-year-old Sachin Tendulkar scored a century on his first-class debut at the Wankhede Stadium. A week later, a baby boy was born in Thodupuzha, Kerala, and his cricket-mad father PC Baby, quite naturally, named him Sachin.

A cricket team of exotic names
Hard to argue with this lineup. Sachin could bat anywhere. Akram had no peer as a leftie and paired with Hadlee and Steyn they’d knock over anyone. I’ll endorse this team without a change.

Melbourne Storm prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona went on a search-and-destroy mission outside a popular Bali bar to prevent a drunken Australian tourist from smashing teammate Suliasi Vunivalu with a beer bottle.
“They were going to ‘bottle’ him,” an eyewitness told the Herald.
As the Kiwi international flew home to Melbourne to face NRL integrity unit investigators after the wild brawl in the upmarket beach province of Seminyak, the Herald has pieced together the events that led to the incident after speaking to several eyewitnesses.
They have launched a passionate defence of Asofa-Solomona and his Storm teammates, who they say were provoked by a group of drunken Australian men at well-known bar La Favela in the early hours of Sunday morning.
According to one eyewitness, the Storm players were drinking on the balcony of the bar when one player accidentally spilt their drink over the side.
“The Aussie blokes downstairs rushed up and surrounded Vunivalu,” the eyewitness, who was not part of the Storm group but spoke on the condition of anonymity, said. “Then they king-hit him. You can imagine what the Storm blokes did next.
“When it erupted, the bouncers threw them all out and they were out on the street. They were all out the front and that’s when the big fella [Asofa-Solomona] saw one of the blokes with a bottle in his hand. He was going to glass him [Vunivalu] — so he got in first.”

No Matt Toomua. Nic White ahead of Will Genia. And Kurtley. Hoping Cheika doesn’t read this.
Use Jordan Petaia to re-boot the Wallabies' World Cup challenge
Yep, soon as I read that, it was easy to remember O’Connor’s three-try debut against Italy and that he was 18. That’s as far as I got. Another case of Spiro needing a fact checker before they hit the publish key.
Brian Ford played his only Test against the All Blacks at Brisbane’s old Ekka ground on June 1, 1957. Selectors overlooked him after that and work demands and injury forced him into retirement in 1960.
Alongside Ford in that match was Terry Curley, who had made his Test debut a week earlier at the SCG, 12 days before his 19th birthday. Curley proved a star in his 11 Tests but also retired in 1960 after he joined the Marist Brothers.

Fair chance most people could live there without much trouble. Also, story intro calls him Prime Mister. Interesting titles in NZ politics.
