By way of background, I am a Test cricket tragic, and big Wallaby fan. I spent the 1980s opening the batting and bowling offies for a lowly ranked schoolboy team, and my rugby was even less notable. Have coached both sports: Those who can, do. Love the Twelfth Man, but some of you already worked that out.

Brave Sir Brendan ran away Bravely ran away away When danger reared its ugly head He bravely turned his tail and fled Yes, brave…
Another three rounds of county cricket have taken place since my last round up of the performances of Australian cricketers in Old Blighty. Chris…
As a long-time reader and some-time commenter from the peanut gallery here on The Roar, I am putting quill to parchment for the first…
EXACTLY. Why hasn’t St Brendan told us what is right and what is wrong yet? He knows.

Andy wins best comment on the page. But I am more humble than he is.
A lesson in humility from across The Ditch
Welcome back. Unfortunately the bus hit hours after you recorded.
Cheap Seats episode 89: The pink ball special
St Ricky only said a phone call of unknown content took place. Would be hard to prove that was perjury.
Chris Cairns speaks after being found not guilty
In the eyes of the law you are innocent until proven guilty.
But that doesn’t mean you didn’t do it.
What to think of Chris Cairns?
So does Saint Brendan now get tried for perjury for saying CC was a fixer??

With McCullum finding it “pretty hard to separate the teams in the last two tests” let me give him a hand.
NZ scored 32/1130 against Australia’s 33/1355. Therefore Australia averaged 41.1per wicket lost versus NZ’s average batting average of 35.3.
At 20 wickets (max) per Test each, Australia were over 100 runs ahead per test. And with all the bleating about a dodgy DRS call, you can even deduct Lyon’s 34 runs and the kiwis are still a long way behind.
There you go, Brendan, thanks for asking!
Next time will be different: McCullum
Hehehe. If sleep deprivation is being deprived of sleep, is sleep depravation doing depraved things in your sleep?
The illogical ‘logic’ of batting Steve Smith at 4
Fair comment, except if you take out the 6 Shield teams, that wasn’t a B team, it was a G team…
New Zealand the Brave run away as danger approaches
Thanks AJM for your feedback, I hope you have a lovely day.
New Zealand the Brave run away as danger approaches
Yes, I thought the nine lines of Monty Python might have given a clue I was kidding.
The preparation the Aussies are getting playing pink ball can be excused because it was self inflicted. There is not excuse for serving up that pitch for our guests. Not sure Finch and Carters minded batting on it though…
New Zealand the Brave run away as danger approaches
Haha. His FC average WAS 29, now it is 33.56 thanks to his latest knock on the unplayable Blacktown pitch…
Burns, Khawaja named in Australian Test squad to play New Zealand
Another great read.
My favourite moment YET was the AAC tackle v Wales or the Drew Mitchell Try v Argentina. The one the scorebook says AAC scored.
Meanwhile in the tour match, NZ have just taken their first wicket, to have a team of Sheffield Shield rejects REELING at 1/503.
Not sayin’ it’s an omen, just sayin’…
Rugby World Cup Big Questions: The grand finale
The article mentions it to explain the quote from him on accepting the job, so is necessary. And it is great to see a healthy and positive role model for “coming out”.
The article doesn’t NOT suggest his preferences affect his ability to adjudicate and control a match. In fact that is ridiculous because he has just essentially been named the best in the world. Good on him for overcoming the “rough times” he had, and good on Rugby for recognising the best man for the job.
Owens to referee World Cup decider
To be fair, Scott, you DO have a Union Jack on your profile pic…
Introduce a send-off rule for cricket
PH, no you can’t. I don’t see any team from Pools B, C or D beating England. Do you?
Could the Wallabies achieve a historic World Cup Grand Slam?
Great work, Sean, well done. Read every one.
I’d love to see you review the top ten or twenty or so after the RWC to see what an impact your players had, or whether players you rated lower stepped up.
Thanks again.
Rugby's Top 100 finale: Recap and 10-1
Did BM mention the other time he did exactly the same thing, running out a Zim batsman who also went to congratulate his partner?
Or moving to legslip behind Dravid’s back?
He likes the Kiwis being lauded for what jolly good fellows they are, but forgets that this is only a temporary phase.
McCullum slams Smith over Stokes affair
Do you want to tell her she can’t??
Isn’t it time women and men played professional sport together?
Are you sure there is radio coverage?
Can’t find a link on the cricket australia ball by ball coverage page, or on ABC grandstand page or on digital radio or on analog radio…
