Wrap - Pakistani Birth Certificates

1. Naseem Shah. Can you imagine the precision at the Karachi Births, Deaths and Marriages office? A bit like the Samoan/ Tongan one. This Naseem Shah would cause a bit of pain for the U/16 lads in school cricket. He bowls at pace. A little like Shoaib Aktar. It seems extraordinary, but I think Waqar Younis was 20 for about three seasons too.


2. Great innings by Warner and by Labuschagne too. These were big tons in the context of the series. Tim Paine needs to focus on his game. More silly comments about the scentof an opponent to go with his babysitting ones. He should concentrate on scoring runs and getting dismissals. I suspect he needs these more than the ridiculous comments. Starc looking sharp. Cummins powerful.


3. B.J Watling. The New Zealand keeper is a star performer under pressure. The number of times he rescues the Kiwis with the bat is stunning. 8 Test tons is impressive in the modern era. He has saved them again v England. A double ton under pressure works well! An understated star of the NZ Blackcaps.


4. Valentine Holmes. Signs for a squillion...but where are Cronulla in all of this? They have been dudded. Nonetheless the NFL Dream was basically a quick snooze on a Saturday afternoon and not much more. Good luck to him, but I doubt a six year contract will be seen through by him. He is restless. SBW like.


5. NRL. Have we reached a time where no one cares enough anymore about the pay packets or drama... so long as they get their fix on TV?


6. Rugby. Interesting rugby move to get the All Blacks Academy on our soil. Just don't let any Australian coaches or past players near it and we should be right.


7. Nick Kgyrios - Davis Cup. The  new system of Davis Cup was all going well until Nick Kgyrios hurt his collarbone at night and cruelled our chances... collarbone at night? Wrestling on bed? Fight? How does one do a collarbone at night? Very odd. But of course we then lost and the rest is history. Nick is as popular as a dirty dunny seat. It seems odd, but he did say something smart...tennis has too many nothing tournaments and needs a revamp.


7. Cameron Smith. Playing on for another season... When will he become head coach?


8. EPL. Leicester sitting second and 9 points adrift. Liverpool just keep winning. Klopp has a stunning record since arriving at Anfield.


9. A-League. We could have an unfolding fiasco on our hands here. No big names and no glamour. Failing crowds and interest...a new TV deal which could be a complete dud. Maybe they need a heap of sixteen year old kids to ignite the public interest.


10. W-League. How about the over reaction of the "corruption" in W League. Providing a team list... wow. Don't invite Cricket Australia to a BBQ...they bring sledgehammers to kill flies. Honestly...
