Wrap - Wagging The Dog

1. Test Cricket in Hobart - do they deserve it? Surely they need to establish themselves with better cred before dishing up their seaming - NEW ZEALAND - pitches. Usually there are blokes wandering in front of sight screens and dogs on the field.

The changing guard of Auatralian cricket will see Tassie banished, but they have wagged the dog for a long time (Ponting, Cooley, Cox, Dene Hills, Hifen (Shizen) haus, Paine, Krezja, Doherty, Geeves, et al).

2. Willie Mason, Sonny Bill, Quade Cooper. Is this lot the most boring in Australian sport? Surely yes. Throw in Stephanie Rice, Jana Pittman-Rawlinson (and whatever her name is this week), Matt Rogers and Anthony Mundine and you have Danny Weidler's phonebook. What a boring, whinging dinner party that would be.

3. Big Bash. I get the feeling it will soon fall in a heap. It is like a bad niteclub. Lights, fancy clothes, smoke, mirrors and it stinks to high heaven. The right way to go? Test cricket suddenly looks safer than ever.

What about calls for test selection when a bloke gets runs in 20/20? Rank stupidity.

4. Dave Warner. He stands to be the best cricketer in the modern game and a godfather of a new trend in world cricket. He may also be the first (only?) bloke to play in all three forms of the game at International level. H eis quite superb. He's the only one who has not got a CA contract. Joke.

Warnie a dead set rock star. Where's the Women's Weekly inside scoop story?

5. EPL - Chelsea look under pressure and a coach change will happen soon. Also, it is the sacking season in the A League. John Kosmina has made a comeback with Adelaide. Surely there is someone else. It just shows the lack of talent and knowledge in Australian domestic league soccer.

6. Geoff Ogilvy. A choke is the best description. Superb Saturday and horrible Sunday. Another one of the cranky golfers in Australia - see Allenby, Appleby, Norman, Baddley...
