Another Aussie icon gone, such a talent both as an author and as an actor.

This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

It's often reported that WSC was Kerry Packer's idea, but as I understand it was an idea John Cornell sold to KP who backed/underwrote it, is that understanding correct?

It was the most competitive cricket of that era. Equally, it was good to finally see a reunification. The ACB was a really tired outdated outfit
