Beware the Wounded Aussie
It was a pleasant experience going to bed last night at an hour that was reasonable, it was a lovely deep sleep that was definitely required by cricket fans across the country. All credit must go to Australia as their final day collapse at least meant we were all tucked up at around 2.00am on Tuesday morning celebrating victory before the rain crashed down in Adelaide, albeit to late to save Australian blushes. They were totally outclassed and ...
Search Words

This must be a combination of getting older, fighting off a common cold, and the extraordinary weather we have been having over the last ten days or so. Of course I don't need to tell this to anyone locally, you know how bloody cold it is, but to my readers in Australia who are lapping up the sun and watching cricket at a sensible hour, we are experi...
