1. Cricket Test Series v India. The biggest points of interest in this series will be to see if Kohli can hit a ton in every test, which is on the cards. Also, whether Tim Paine is playing his last Test series - and whether we can all put up with the anticipated twin failures of the Marsh brothers. How long? 2/3 Tests? Surely we need someone to step up. Lyon (318) needs 8 more wickets to beat Bob Willis (325) and 13 more wickets to beat Allan Donald (330). Ravi Ashwin needs 20 more wickets to beat our own DK Lillee (70 tests). Ashwin has played 64 tests only. Amazing how curators can help your career.
2. Shaun Johnson. What a tremendous signing by Cronulla. A goalkicking half who scores tries continuously. What were the Warriors thinking? Did Parramatta pick up the phone?
3. BBL League. There appears to be more interest in the BBL than this upcoming Test series. The game has changed and is shifting to a new space. New fans. This is fast becoming the new face of Australian cricket. Very few young fans are interested in tests. I like the look of the Thunder - Joe Root, Jos Butler... A shame there is no Warner.
4. Mundine. Totally outclassed and outgunned. Has made himself very wealthy however. Hopefully he can be sensible with the money and not like a zillion other boxers before him. I think Anthony set his sights on being like ALI, but had no charm and charisma. He actually held the super-middleweight title twice between 2003 and 2008, as well as the IBO middleweight title from 2009 to 2010, and the WBA interim super-welterweight title from 2011 to 2012. Jeff Horn is in a different class.
5. Bennett - Seibold. What a gaggle of clowns. Both over rated and seemingly think themselves bigger than everyone else. Lots of games being played and complete silliness over the last few weeks. Memo Broncos: sacking someone by text message or email never looks good.
6. Cameron Smith. What a famous Australian sporting name! How good was his play to comeback and win the Australian PGA golf after he seemed to have lost his way. Mental toughness to win the Joe Kirkwood Cup back to back. He has joined the likes of the world famous bluer - Robert Allenby - in achieving this feat. Top 30 in the world of golf. Pretty amazing for a young Australian guy.
7. Corey Norman. I noticed that while underperforming, the worst of the overpaid players at Parramatta - Corey Norman and Mitchell Moses - are being shopped around, but they are not stupid. They are staying to be paid in full and to convey their continued brand of excellence on the club. Both should be in the Wentworthville team as the club looks to other options. How can you now welcome them back into the team? They are cancerous to the necessary culture. Hopefully no new signings who are cocaine sniffing, M4 biffers who consort with criminals and abuse women.
8. ManU. Anchored on 22 points after 14 games (6 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses), they are 16 behind Man City who are almost away and uncatchable! Surely Jose is on the slippery slope out of the joint! Fulham look like relegation material already... some significant Christmas cheer and pudding will be required.
