Qatar and the fraudulent FIFA image
I was dumbfounded by that quote from Lara too.
In recent days we’ve had Barry Richards come out and say that the game has swung too far in favour of the batsmen, so just imagine what Our Don would have made of attacks today.
Tendulkar is number two though for me.
Although it’s hard to choose between he and that other Richards, Viv.
Not a single Australian in my 2010 cricket Test XI
I am no football expert and have only started watching the game again in the past five years after a gap of a decade or so (not football on the tv here in the country in the past) but I have become a big fan of Messi.
What I love about him is he doesn’t look like your average football player.
He looks a bit shambling, with his long but not overly stylish hair style.
He’s open faced and looks like an innocent among a bunch of men and primadonnas.
Almost a player of the old school, someone who’s happy to be who he is and is there to play the game and not worry about anything else.
With the ball, he’s divine – an assassin who sneaks in to the box stealthily to steal the cherries, or at least provide the ladder for someone else to do it. Sometimes he even looks bewildered by his own ability.
A fantastic player.
I hope this summation of how I see Messi is somewhere close to the mark.
El Fiasco for Real in one-sided Clasico
This is gonna get interesting.
Keep defending that corner Phil.
By the way, where is Australia currently ranked on the test ladder?
Australia isn't as bad as everyone thinks
You mention the fight at Rushcutters Bay, Sydney Stadium, do you know if there’s been a book about that venue?
Fascinating part of Australia’s sporting history – around 20k crammed into the stadium for the fight, while substantially more were awaiting the results outside.
The stadium also hosted the Beatles’ Sydney shows, prior to it being knocked down.
Another great boxing movie hits the cinemas
