Ahh - the cricket!

Well the international season is over. What a soap opera it turned out to be.  It was way worse (hip talk) than The OC and may have even rivalled One Tree Hill.  Some may even suggest Laguna Beach.

Seriously - time for the contacted players to join Actors Equity - perhaps a few guest spots on Home and away are in order.

What a great finish - the Aussies left wondering as they have since the end of the Sydney test.  The Indians cock a hoop - the Turbanator on fire. I'm thinking of crafting my best niggler eleven - Graeme Smith is a cert to open and the Turbanator is already fitted out with his blazer that will be styled to upset.

Poor old Punter - ended up a feather duster if ever there was one - yes I know he scored a great century.

Has the swagger gone? Has Mr Zero Haydos killed off the weeds - I think not.

RIP the Tri Series!

ABC radio programming will be much the poorer until the night before Good Friday when the Tigers thrash the Blues.

Well, it was 'heaps controversial' - even cooler talk I learned from a grad at work, who's only 20 and makes me feel old...

Me thinks that India won because Sachin finding form. That said Australia were less than good, poor in fact. Hopes provided some hope, that was about it.

Andre Nel, Alec Stewart, Derek Randell, Douglas Jardine (capt.), Arjuna Ranatunga (vice-capt.), Cheetan Chauhan (by virtue of his name), Javed Miandad, Ian Botham, Mike Brearley (An arrogant Pom who can't bat and still captains a series winning team will wind us up no end.)

Also, throw Glenn Turner, Ian Botham, Tony Greig and Libba into the mix.
