1. Great effort by the Australian cricket team to end on top of the world. The weather Gods smiled upon them in NZ. I would never condone dissent, but Haezlewood's comment was as ridiculous as it was funny..."Who the XXXX is the third umpire?". A few others have been asking the same thing all summer.
Joe 'Carpet' Burns did really well to be the MOTM. A good stamp on his career, but the reality is it was only NZ and the West Indies this summer. Sterner tests ahead. Bancroft finally got runs this weekend too. So did Shaun Marsh.
2. Ben Rohrer has ignited the failing NSW Shield effort with a superb pressure hundred to win v South Australia. He was exceptional in the Big Bash for the Thunder too. Has a player fallen out of form more dramatically than 'The Sandshoe' - Gurinder Sandhu? He is bowling pies now and totally out of touch! A long way from when he made his national debut last year.
3. Big test for the NRL with the return of Mitchell Pearce tomorrow. All cured I suppose...until the next incident. There needs to be a stern penalty there to send a firm warning to all players. The NRL and almost averaging one seriously negative one per year...Brett Stewart, Drugs Bust at Cronulla, Todd Carney, SKD DV Charges....plus a million others - drink driving, road rage, pub incidents, cab rank disasters, accidents...on it goes.
Season starts this week with only two top eight positions up for grabs for mine: Broncos, Cowboys, Souths, Roosters, Storm, Bulldogs will be there...who else? Two spots, unless the Roosters crash and burn.
4. What a great day in football/ soccer this weekend. Finally they can clear the decks and bring in the next white as snow FIFA president after Septic Bladder. His name - Infantino...an apt description of how he will eventually become a fully grown trough eater once he outlasts his infancy.
5. Adelaide United in the A league have staged the most amazing turnaround in Australian sport over the past two months...from cellar dwellers to excellers! Sydney FC are struggling...can't score enough goals without Brosque.
6. The Crusaders are up to their annual trick. A loss first up, written off and then a surging finish later on to almost win the thing. The Waratahs looked sharp. Their scrum was a lot stronger that expected. Plenty of tries too. Loved the flying wedge. Memories of Ray Higgs in 1976.
7. Leicester may just about do it and win the EPL title if they are not stopped soon. Their belief and command around the goal square has been exceptional all season.
