Umpires giving the least likely lbw as out with Green, almost seems fair with the two clangers that England were forced to review. #Ashes2023

England fans understandably surprised Bairstow makes a regulation catch. #Ashes2023

Learning Mitch Starc is using his wife's, Alyssa Healys bat, its my favourite moment of this test! #Ashes2023

Can't help but think the Australian tail could have finished swinging and scored a lot more than they are with this approach? #Ashes2023

We built it. We spent almost a decade wondering what to do with it. And we still didn’t think to use it for cricket.

Atherton and Taylor going fishing during the rain delay is one of the most awkward fillers there is.

Unfortunately, it looks like rain will prevent Australia from taking a 130 run lead and bowling England out for 120 under gloomy skies in the final session, but that’s cricket, I suppose. #Ashes2023

Did Stokes wait too long to declare? Had he declared early on the third day, even before Bairstow got to the crease with a lead of 150-170, would this still be a draw? I wonder if Australia would be out and England looking for overs to score 50-100. #Ashes2023

Funny want bowling at the stumps can achieve. #Ashes2023

Attacking the stumps really working for Australia today. #Ashes2023

England leaving a lot of runs for the Australian tail to chase. #Ashes2023

Australia CommBank Matildas plays England Lionesses in the World Cup semi final. The good news for 🇦🇺 is that the ref can’t change the ball ⚽️ #FIFAWomensWorldCup2023

This was like herding cats! #HardQuiz

Local bulk bill medical centre sells you a surgical mask for $1 to wear to get a prescription. Can't believe we didn't do this harder to eliminate CoVid. It's so simple!

You'll like this taipan168 . For my work trip to HK next month the Cathay business class fare from Melbourne is $5600. But if I book Melbourne to Taipei (via HK on the EXACT same flights) it's $3600. I'll spend three nights in Taipei and enjoy that saving.

Sign off the times, three 100th birthday cards for sale in my local suburban post office.

ATO on the ball. They seem surprised that our retail sales were higher than normal in the December quarter. Could just be possible they know less and are more even out of touch than our politicians?
