Four Australian women have been killed in four days by men known to them. This is heartbreaking. My thoughts are with the families, friends, and communities grieving the loss of loved ones. Back in January I called for a Royal Commission into family and domestic violence. We cant continue to accept this level of violence against women. A Royal Commission is the most comprehensive, transparent and credible way to uncover systemic failures, identify what is and isn't working, and ensure victim-survivors are not re-traumatised by the very institutions meant to protect them. We need governments to treat family and domestic violence like the national crisis it is, and to act. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic, family or sexual violence, contact 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732). abc.net.au/news/2026-07-1…

You’d think Mr 16 percent would have more important things to worry about! Try cost of living and leave the nonsense to Pauline. BTW “woke” means be politically and socially aware- Taylor hits out at ‘tone deaf, woke’ Cricket Australia over national anthem smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Are any players from Italy’s @ICC award winning team actually Italian?! I can’t find any… Federazione Cricket Italiana lifted the ICC Associate Member Men’s Team Performance of the Year award due to Italy’s historic qualification for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.

Wonder what Pauline Hanson and Tommy Robinson (not his real name!) think about that?!

I discovered soccer through Brian Moore on The Big Match on Australia’s @abc and fell in love with the Englishness of it all. I can’t believe I’m saying this but thanks to Brian I feel an affinity with the England soccer team… this is exciting!

Do Ned Kelly’s family have an international patent on the head gear?!

Many congrats James! I remember those dark days when worked for the enemy ( @englandcricket ) and were allowed back into the country!

This is staggering! That McCullum, who spent his whole playing career and beyond enjoying a drink is somehow now the enforcer, smacks of a hypocrite trying to keep his job. He should have been sacked after poor preparation that led to the #Ashes failure! open.substack.com/pub/cricketeta…

Having spent 3 decades working as a journalist or media manager across Ashes tours, @HomeOfCricket has a special place in my craw as home of the ignorant or arrogant. Usually both. open.substack.com/pub/mannersonc…
