Rant about the A-Liga and @wswanderersfc more often than is healthy. Clearly not a sports scientist.

Dutton today on Jews in Australia: "I’ve never seen an element of society ostracised in such a way"

Yeah, that's why they have a much lower life expectancy, earn 25% less than everyone else, and are 17 times more likely to be incarcerated...

Oh wait, no that's another group.. can't think who.

Ludicrous XI for Australia. No Schutt with the pink ball. No Wareham, who has dominated with bat and ball. McGrath down at 8 to shoehorn in Healy as a non-keeper. Only four front-rank bowlers, and Brown is erratic. Lopsided nonsense. #WAshes

I've quoted this Defector piece on the demise of Deadspin before and I'll quote it again - "nobody who matters ever asked for any of this shit."

If they go on with this, the game's gone.

Australia lost the SCG Test in which Waugh brought up 10000 runs. Smith needs to be dismissed for less than five here if Australia are to win this. #AUSvIND 🏏

All this talk about Netflix deliberately trying to make dramas that you can have on in the background while you do other things, a pleasant wash of noise punctuated by moments of extreme tension and drama, makes me realise that they are essentially trying to make a scripted version of test cricket.
