1. Dave Warner will be an interesting study this week. I suspect his retraction and back down will be part of a mini slump, but he is a street fighter and will bounce back. A goose mind you, but a fighter. He is used to the on field stoush, but the media will mark him hard. Difficult to believe that the Aussies will go silent.
I mentioned some weeks back that the Poms arrived too early and will self destruct in time. Act One. What of the ridiculous food demands being made...an arrogance they better iron out quickly.
Not sure if you missed it, but James Pattinson returned to club cricket this weekend which is a huge bonus for the Aussies. Peter Siddle needs to collect wickets. His lack of strike at the minute reminds me of Gillespie in his last days.
2. The Australian World Cup RL Winners. That Brett Morris is some sort of athlete. A great performance by that team. Possibly one of the best ever. Jarryd Hayne running wide in the centres and making busts was heartening. What about those in-goal areas...too slippery and ridiculous really.
Thurston, Lockyer and Lewis are the best we have seen in the five eight role. He is a certain IMMORTAL.
Can Cameron Smith win anything else? He has more silverware than the Pope. Starts to make sense when he looks at big cash in Brisbane and a return home...a premiership with another club...there's a novelty.
3. Wallabies. An excellent campaign in the end. Only loss to England in a tight one. They could have had a record otherwise. Quayde Cooper is as popular as a parking fine. However he has aimed up. Nice to see a team where discipline is a priority.
4. Did anyone catch the Michael Schumacher commentary on Webber-Vettel? Real, but harsh. Fair enough. Two men, similar machines, one wins a world record of F1 races. Who is better?
5. Gotta love a good Youtube clip with a drunken footballer or two...king hits, DUI, abuse, public urination, broken jaws...useless club CEO's trying to cover up things...counsellors scurrying for their clipboards...How about the lard rs old man AFL and ex player serving it up to the reporters? Outstanding class. Can the code de-register players immediately? Unti lthen, it will all continue...
6. When are Arsenal going to fall over? Can it last? Sydney FC powering on too. Hope springs eternal.
7. Rory was outstanding. Gotta love the name of that trophy - The Stonehaven Cup. It sounds VERY, VERY important.
Adam Scott though is shooting the lights out of everything. A rich vein of form...! Here's hoping the green jacket can be a two-peat.
When will a different coloured jacket make its way to each major winner? Hawkie's one he wore after Australia II won the America's Cup victory could be that used for the Australian Open Golf winner in future years.
