@binghach @lawalker1930 Jardine allegedly referred to Bradman as the Little Bastard.
English
The Master, the Little Bastard and a bloke who could do a very amusing party trick with a mantelpiece but who, very unfortunately, also exchanged Nazi salutes with Hitler and was nearly king of Albania.

They don’t make haircuts like this anymore, but, then, perhaps they don’t make cricketers like Ray Illingworth anymore either.
Illimgworth led England to an Ashes victory in Australia in 1970-71, and then retained the urn at home in 1972.
A tough Yorkshireman and an all-rounder, Illingworth was known to be an excellent man-manager who could get the best out of even the most difficult characters.
Success came not only with England but, in exile from Yorkshire, in county cricket with Leicestershire, where as captain in the early 70s he turned an over-relaxed, unambitious side into a trophy-winning outfit.
Do you have any memories of him?

@shannon_wells @BrianWightman76 @ABCaustralia It seems to accord with national flag protocol, which states ‘After the Australian National Flag, the order of precedence of flags is: national flag of other nations, state and territory flags, other Australian flags prescribed by the Flags Act 1953, ensigns and pennants.’

It may come as a surprise to the ABC, but the Tasmanian Government is answerable to the Tas Parliament and people, but the Police Commissioner is not…

@AMP86793444 I recall the late Allan McGilvray (radio commentator) saying that you need to assume your average listener has only just switched to the commentary - so tell them what is happening, by who and, most importantly, what is the score…

If you’re doing Top 5 Sports Broadcasters in Australian history, you’d have (in no specific order) Benaud, Cometti, Warren and McAvaney.
Who goes into 5th?
Great pub debate topic!

@Oscarthefarmer I take it you have already tried the first option…

I have a question for farmers #ausag.
If someone if working on your machinery, and they get to a rusted bolt.
Which is better? Screaming, swearing and hitting it with a hammer and breaking the bolt. Or getting some wd40 and taking the time to ease out calmly?
Which approach?

@NavyBlue10 If this is only the first sign of my insanity that you’ve noticed, you may need to reconsider your own state of mind 😂

Life has much improved since I stopped paying attention to the news.
Cricket news is quite enough for me, thanks very much. Real world news can go do one.
I’m just going to have a nice scone and a cup of tea and let the inmates continue to run the asylum whilst I watch cricket.

@WG_RumblePants Tweeting in your sleep is one of the first signs of madness….😂
