1. Geoff Toovey. Saw a picture of the winning NSW 2000 Origin Team last week in the paper. Probably the last time he smiled. His ill discipline was mirrored by his team v Bulldogs at a critical moment. He sets a poor example and the refs know it. Hasler should have been the one blowing up. Manly had no right to be near them. Fancy a team dinner with Lyon, Foran, et al? Getting a word in would be tough.
Can't believe I saw Dugan jump on to Twitter after his selection. A super talent, but has he learned anything?
2. Dave Warner. Soothsayer moment last week. His cards are marked and folded now. He is a millionaire temporarily. A spoilt little boy too. Glancing blow to Joe Root? He is the master of getting edges and not hitting the middle.
Mitchell Marsh, Phil Hughes, Glenn Maxwell and Matthew Wade were also with Warner when the incident occurred. Marsh has had his embarrassing moments on the drink, Wade catches if he is on the drink and Hughes must be watched lest he turn to the drink mid tour with his miserable form. Maxwell owns the bottle shop after his IPL contract.
3. Where the hell is Michael Clarke? Would he not be in the stands watching? Does anyone get the feeling that this ICC Champions Trophy Tournament is a farce - and treated as such? The weather is making it a joke too. That back injury comes when he is at home playing at Sydney, when he's had a break and some would say that it may have been Clarke with that beard on, granted the name match for the presumed causes of his back condition.
Apparently he visited Warnie and Liz at their charity game. Why is Warnie's hair melted onto his head nowadays? Must have visted Paul Hogan's plasticine surgeon.
How about Shane Watson hey? Pursuing justice - but more staggeringly, being listened to! Doubt Hayden and Langer would ever have found themselves in this spot.
4. Socceroos. Finally playing a good brand of football. A few actually want to win now and go to Brazil. Others dream of it. The I-rack tour revisted this week...hopefully they've locked up that idiot who scales goalposts. Full house expected...everyone loves a winner!
5. Fui Fui. Was that a beer he was drinking on the sideline in playing uniform last week? He may need to know the most famous sporting quote of the modern era: "I DON'T HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM".
6. Sangakara. He is some sort of legend. What hope have we got if he gets going? Beating a score of 290+ by England at home single handedly is something special. One of the greats.
7. Lions. Roaring as usual, but hardly being tested. Is there an ANZAC equivalent that can tour in the same way? Why not? Imagine how strong that would be.
8. Hewitt. A great effort at Queens. Some sort of performance with age and injury against him. He is one of our best ever. Federer is a phenomenon. Another final and will be hard to beat too.
9. US Golf Open. The poor cousin of the majors - and gets poor - deserved - coverage. Scott lucky to make the cut. Why is Phil Mickelson so arrogant? Or maybe he just needs a press secretary. Jason Day has some sort of record at the majors. He is a slim chance - thinner than a piece of cucumber at Subway.
