1. Is it just me or is the Rugby League World Cup dragging on and on? The farce that it is I am sure is building the game in the USA as they rush to sign up with the Tomahawks! On the old 1982 - 1986 Kangaroo Tours, there were multiple games a week - maybe two, sometimes three and they all survived. A few of our current players must have arse ache from sitting around too long. Get the final over with please before the players all biff each other and self destruct! Tim Sheens has the personality of Wayne Swan and as many excuses.
Billy Slater's poor behaviour and attitude at times is starting to catch up with him.
2. Sachin...Sachin...not sure if you caught it but I watched his half hour final speech. His grace and eloquence was stunning and he is one of the true greats. As my son pointed out though...we might beat them now, but I don't recall he played any role in the recent ODI series and we still lost.
Comic scenes in true Bollywood style as the usual array of self important fat blokes with glasses line up to give oversized cheques and obscene and useless trophies to blokes who could buy and sell them. Always love the hanger on in an Indian press conference, in the background, near the melee...how they love a kerfuffle and a schemozzle in those parts!
3. Can anyone see it already: Johnson steaming in on the Gabba...first over...short pitched...4 wides Harmiston style. He is loose and if our hopes hang on him...we are in trouble. Clive Palmer in politics offers the same hope. However it is good to see Craig McDermott there again. He has a bit of steel. I cannot get excited about our chances. Can Watson last to lunch in any test?
4. Adam Scott. Brilliant and so far ahead of all others it is ridiculous. Triple crown well in sight.
5. Sebastian Vetell. He has done it again...edged out Webber for pole position in the USA F1 GP. Webber remains the ball boy...not the player again. Albeit a very rich one.
6. Wallabies. Looking a lot better and a grand win really v Ireland. Great to see the headband (black tape on white cloth bandage) has made a comeback from the days of club rugby eg Steve Cutler (Hooper and the hairbear winger, Cummins). Haven't seen one since Nathan Bracken retired.
7. I love a good drugs in sport excuse and lazy cheating Jamacian sprinters are starting to provide them...the missus gave me the wrong supplements...too much sex...coach was to blame...bad toothpaste...mum's diaretic...get the World Arbitration of Sport mob back to work.
