Set down for 1400 at Willi, just when the seniors are on at the MCG. Not optimal.

Do yourself a favour and track down the podcast

He was on for 20 mins and soooooo impressive. A really good listen about his current situation with rehab and coaching, the state of the team and some stuff around tactics I had never heard before

Much better than the usual 3 min media cliche fest from most players

Looks like the Day / Night test has been kiboshed by the BCCI(Board for the Corruption of Cricket India) for the coming season.

Pity, it makes a great spectacle, and the ball hooping around helps generate a result.

Another very frustrating night that did nothing positive for my mental health.

Remember:
[1] At least 3 players need to get a mention.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player.
[3] Give a rating of team performance. It can be anywhere from A+ to F.
[4] Votes must add up to 15.

My previous attempt at the Madigan Line across the northern Simpson Desert in 2016 failed because the desert was more lake than desert.  This year the Simpson has received its normal low rainfall but heavy rain from further north has got the Cooper and other watercourses flowing.  That suggests that we'll have normal desert conditions to contend with when my companions and I have another go at the Madigan Line.

The trip starts on Sunday and I'll be away for three weeks.  It will be ironic if we get a couple of wins while I'm away 

As usual, I will be relying on CSC posters to keep me up to date with what's happening at our great club, even if I don't get to read your posts for a couple of weeks after the event.

Go Blues!

Time to play the Drug Cheats. Hopefully with the slightly fitter list.

I really want to beat these thieves.
