1. The arrival of Carlos Brathwaite seems to have enlivened the Sydney Thunder. Not sure they can win it, but his character is enough to get people through the gate. I am surprised a team did not pick up Craig Anderson from NZ who is not in the Test team but who can hit. That David Miller (South Africa) is another golden pick up who is doing nothing at present.
How good is the nightly Big Bash coverage? Hopefully Channel 10 can hold onto the coverage rights and not let Channel 9 near it it.
2. Will Dave Warner ever hit the stumps for a run out? He's had more 'misses' than John Singleton. He needs to work on this element of his fielding. He could start with a baseball pitching coach. His chase/ dive/ throw is exemplary however.
3. The Indian Touring Test Squad. We have picked blokes on the scrapheap with a poor temperament - Glen Maxwell, Shaun Marsh, Mitchell Marsh - in the most testing of conditions. A few blokes are going to come out the other side as relics of their current selves. We should lose 4-0. Swepson as a leg spinner? Please...there was only one Shane Warne. Kohli will be very worried to see Lyon, O'Keefe, Maxwell and Agar in the team. He won't know whether to hit a 6 or 4 each ball. A bit like when Travis head bowls at you. I like this Michael Beer (a current one test wonder) better than most.
4. Our batting against slow bowling in the ODI series at present is terrible. Missing straight ones like they did in Sri Lanka. Wade will be terrible, despite our desire to select Test players based on ODI and T20 form.
5. What sort of individual takes up UFC as a sport? It has huge image issues, despite its emerging popularity amongst thugs and the callous.
6. A-League football refs have had an absolute shocker this weekend. Berisha's send off was ridiculous. The bloke who dived should get three weeks. We don't seem to be sending a strong message re this style of nonsense. It is what will singlehandedly kill the game in this country...posers, pretenders and stretchers taking off the fakers....
7. AFC Championship Game - New England under Tom Brady look certainties for the Superbowl.
