He batted in the top 6 in red ball U19s internationals. Then we will have to agree to disagree. Time will tell..

In the 90s came the sketch shows, Comedy Company, Fast Forward, Full Frontal. I had my many favorite characters, but the brilliant Shaun Micallef's David McGahan takes a heap of beating. Had me in stitches.

I remember all of them LFC. One you did not mention, Aunty Jack. I could take him and Gunston or leave them. I enjoyed early Hoges but Strop gave me a touch of them, opposite to the delectable Delvene..

Someone tell me how Billy Stanlake warrants the chance to add to his 8 Int ODIs when he took only 7 wk at an horrific average of @51.5 from them. This selection is similar to that of former Test opener Marcus Harris..

Not for Tests, his bowling is not up to speed imho..

I am fine with Richardson and O'Neill. I mentiond Perry as one of the interim bowlers but those nong selectors chose Doggett who has not set the world on fire, plus I suppose Hatcher is deserved given he took most wickers last season. But there is a huge step up from state to international...

So does Joel Davies. Difference is reckon CA wants him more as he is close to a genuine red ball slow bowling all rounder. Cant see Connolly playing Tests, only limited overs internationals. But McDonald/Bailey have their 'boys' and I think Connolly is one..

Australia's ODI squad for Zimbabwe and South Africa tours Xavier Bartlett, Alex Carey, Cooper Connolly, Pat Cummins (SA only), Joel Davies, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Mitchell Marsh, Oliver Peake, Matthew Renshaw, Billy Stanlake...

Sam Konstas remains in CA Test plans with his expected Aussie A selection in both red and white ball sides in September. Oliver Peake will also join him in both squads. While Konstas has several shield 100s Peake is yet to hit one, so his selection comes as a surprise, tho he has had success in...

In '24/25 he averaged hi 50s along with Tim Ward. Sangha , same as all the top 10 averaged a similar mid @30s last season due to the bowler friendly pitches..

Correct. So we use the likes of experienced bowlers Richardson our new leader, Bartlett, Thornton, Perry as an interum attack, introducing the promising next genners, Anderson, Thompson, Beardman etc, gradually over the next two/three yrs when they are seen as international ready. Liam Haskett...

Frequented the pub often with mates. Drunk many a 50c schooner and ate plenty of $5 counter lunches. Then either before or after we'd head across to the beach to soak up some rays while checking out the chicks before being dumped by huge waves then back to the chicks. Those were the days..

No cops either LFC. I had my license on me. Still they only had to check the blake fluid cylinder to see I was no hoon out on a joyride.

Mine was a second hand Morris Minnie that as it turned out had a leak in the break fluid thingy that I was not aware of. We lived in the east at Coogee, Sydney on a steep road we called the "Alps of Coogee." Long story short. One dusk I took it for a spin and the brakes failed, out of control I...

Either am I. Both look more suited to shorter formats. If one of the two will eventually make it as a Test batsman, I'd choose Peake. But neither at the moment, yet the word is Peake has been chosen for the A tour of India. To be fair he made big runs last A tour to the sub continent but at a...

Webster does not have the technique needed to bat above 7, so a good idea to have Head #6 and he #7,as you say the bowlers difficulty given their differing elevation. One wonders then why our nong selectors did not follow up on this. Perhaps they will now as Heads days as opener are...

Took him 15 yrs to reach the pinnacle, but I'd put him in the best new ball bowler category, as he also has to be the most inconsistent left arm quick of the modern era, at least in Australia. A real Jekyll & Hyde.

How do you hear the movie in the boot ha ha. My uncle had a Holden ute so us four kids had to watch the movie from there, never heard every word.

Bass Hill is still operating LFC. :ROFLMAO:

Coburg is in Melbourne? Yeh watching a film/s at a drive in was a unique experience, offering a blend of cinema and car culture. It allowed families and friends to enjoy a night out together, with cars playing a significant role in the experience. The drive-in provided a more relaxed and...
