Seriously, it’s a nice place to be once you get away from the mainstream.

I guess if I had to work in Brisbane, I would definitely consider your location as Brisbane town is not much chop.

Here's a question about commentators - online ones, mainly, but TV ones too, I guess. Why do they almost always say irritating things like "He [a bowler] would have had two more wickets if he hadn't over-stepped those times." My comment is, "no he wouldn't!" By overstepping, he was closer to the wicket that he legally should have been, and that's why they call it a "no ball". By being closer, the ball reached the batsman that much quicker, and illegally so. Who knows what would have happened if he'd been a few inches further back when he let go of the ball? Anybody else bothered by this?

Stokesy not guilty, Facebook is full of frothing aussie cricket fans doing their nuts. It's genuinely hilarious. I suppose the last ashes should be replayed now 😂
