1. Why is the sight screen always so problematic at Australian test cricket grounds? They stuff around with it annually. Ploy by advertisers? Harder to navigate than your average garage door!
2. Great to see the umpires crack the ball hoop out to test the shape of the ball. So regularly. A more popular tool in the umpire's kit than the nail file or the boot scraper or stud tightener. A sure sign a team is not getting wickets quickly enough.
It didn't take long for the poor fitness of Khawaja to come into the fore. This has hampered him for years. His running between the wickets has been tolerable against a weak bowling opponent, but he needs to get his act together. The talent and twin ton runs have been impressive, but that's half the game. If someone mentions that underperforming Bancroft again, they need a psyche.
Warner is without doubt the most entertaining since Gilchrist. He is closing in on Hussey (19 tons) already with 15. One of the greats.
3. Man Mundine. As generous with his cash as he is and as nice as the press has been to him of late (cue Phil Hughes story), he surely is "yesterday's man" (think Laurie Daley). A crushing loss mid week.
4. On Laurie, I love a Centre of Excellence. Talk of a new one going in for the NSW team at Homebush. Queensland must be petrified now...look out...a new turf field...a few new weights, wall posters and rap crap songs....booo! Scared yet?
One of the great modern ways to do your cash in as an organisation. Surely there is something brewing to get league teams to use Homebush en masse in the future.
5. Time for Michael Cheika to get the razor blade out on the 'front tuft'. When you have more hair on your rs, ears and nose than your head, it is time. Not that I know this officially of course in this instance, but you get the drift. Take note boys.
6. NRL clubs could do worse than to recruit more Pommy forwards. Some of those blokes are brutally talented. They played really well to beat NZ on the weekend. Something about those skinny in goal areas though that stuffs up our style of play. Maybe this is the way to stop silly kicking obsessions by NRL coaches. It makes teams play the ball instead.
7. The Fight Game. One of the great levellers. Rhonda Rousey got smashed up badly. Eventually someone gets you, regardless of how rich, how mouthy or how good you think you are.
8. Sevens Rugby in the Olympics? Surely we are kidding. No wonder beach cricket was touted as a possible too. Next we'll have matchbox footy played in hallways, yo yo's, elastics, catch n' kiss, flick footy cards, hopscotch and Totem Tennis...maybe even bull rush.
Also, don't forget 'What's the time Mr Wolf', Marco Polo in the pool and even 'Spotlight' at night time with the family torch so as to capture a huge viewing audience. French cricket could also make an exciting appearance. One man footy may also be a cost effective inclusion
At least none rely on the Russian drug industry rorts to excel.
