@RacingVictoria That’s the last cog in the wheel of the big four jockeys of my youth now gone - Higgins, Johnson, White and Hyland. They all left me with some wonderful memories.

As expected the Russian Camelots are starting to show up as 3yos. Today's Gawler winner Orlova looks an SA Oaks filly.

@AlboMP Usman Khawaja is the Mehreen Faruqi of sport. Both from Pakistan. Rewarded beyond belief. Still trashes Australia. Maybe stop importing people who hate us.

Australian Test cricketer Usman Khawaja announced his retirement but also turned it into a political speech on Palestinians, far-right hate, Islamophobia, and immigration. He said nothing about antisemitism or the massacre that killed 15 Jews. Very distasteful.

Manus averages 20.8 batting at No 3 this calendar year☹️ There must be a dearth of batsmen in Australia-surely can’t go to Sydney….

Chris Rea is gone. But his “Driving home for Christmas” will remain a staple in our household at this time of the year. Underrated talent. RIP

#Bornonthisday, Keith Miller flew fighter bombers in World War Two. He survived nights over Germany dodging gunfire and crash landed when his engine failed. Years later, when Michael Parkinson asked him about pressure, Miller smiled and said: “Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse. Playing cricket is not.” That line told you everything. He could bowl thunderbolts off a short run up and change the mood of a stadium with a single spell. At Lord’s in 1956, with his back in pieces and age catching up, he kept bowling through the pain for more than 70 overs because his team needed him. Ten wickets in the match, almost 37 years old, refusing to give in. Miller believed the game should have dignity. He would not bounce tailenders. It was never about hurting people. It was about competing with honour. There was a certain magic in the way he carried himself. That walk to the crease, hair flicked back, the grin, the looseness, the swagger. Crowds felt alive when he was involved, as if something unforgettable might happen at any moment. Miller lived like cricket was a privilege, not a burden. He was more than an all rounder. He was a reminder that sport is supposed to feel alive. If you want someone to win you a match off the last ball, catch, six or wicket, you pick only one man. Keith Ross Miller.
