It's a question that enters my mind every Test match in Cape Town - Who is Pam Golding, and just how many properties does she have exactly? #SAvAUS

Not even sure Scotty Boland was saving us on this Cape Town road after Patty cocked up the call at the toss. #SAvAUS

An hour into this Test, and unless the hosts have the mother of all choke jobs, I'll go out on a limb and say Australia can't win. Patty and his cohort have either horribly misread this pitch, and/or they are protecting a batting order made of the weakest balsa wood. #SAvAUS

Brings spinner in, wins toss, bowls first. Hmmm. #SAvAUS

The AI slop local footy clubs here in Tasmania have been trotting out has been at flood-like proportions this month. But the description of the signing of the following player would make it sound like the second coming of Leigh Matthews is about to hit the country footy ranks:

- A player who loves the contest. - Tough, fierce and competitive. - Relentless attack on the footy. - Never takes a backward step. - Versatility across the ground. - Attack on the footy is SECOND TO NONE! - Club is pumped to announce the signing.

Reality is that said signing played a grand total of three games in the ressies in 2026 for his old club, and another two games in the ressies for another club in 2025. Nothing against the player, but c'mon clubs, be better (and a tad more realistic!).

After being sent in, Ulverstone goes absolutely bonkers with the bat, led by an incredible innings from Jordan Kelly, to put the South Launceston bowlers to the sword at UCI Oval in today's Greater Northern Cup match. Kelly and Vincent with a 250-run third-wicket stand.

On a moody #Devonport evening, Spirit Of Tasmania II heads out of the Mersey River for the final time, having sailed the all-important Bass Strait route along with Spirit of Tasmania I for 24 years. Bon voyage!

Apologies, make that an eight-time premiership player. One with Devonport in 1966-67, then was part of the marvellous Yeoman machine that saluted seven times across 1968-69, 69-70, 70-71, 71-72 (made 162no), 76-77, 77-78, 78-79 (made 125).
The NW Coast cricket community are mourning the passing this week of Hall Of Fame batsman Kevin Brown, aged 85. A seven-time premiership player, Brown spent 24 seasons across four clubs (Shf, Dev, Yeo & Ulv), compiling 8276 runs @ 30.54, predominantly as a tough opening batsman.

Brown also played six first-class and two one-day games for Tasmania, and in 1969 faced the first-ever delivery in domestic limited overs history v Victoria at the MCG with fellow NW Coast cricket legend Baden Sharman at the other end.

Brown, who made two centuries in grand finals, was inducted into the NWTCA/CNW Hall of Fame in 2006, and was named in the NWTCA/CNW Team of the Decades for both the 1960's and 1970's.

I'd even back the NBL refs to pull this bullshit up. NBA refs simply don't care when it comes to how many steps a half-decent player takes without dribbling.
Legit looks like LaMelo just forgot that he had to dribble and the ref standing right there just didn't even consider calling it. We gotta get a handle on traveling.

South Africa shouldn't even entertain batting again. Their bowlers will have plenty of time to rest at the back end of Day 5 based on the shitshow the Aussies just trotted out over the last 42.3 overs. #SAvAUS

Knowing where your off stump is and knowing how to shoulder arms seems to have completely gone missing from the textbook in Australian batting. #SAvAUS

Seven down and the captain, who has only just got to the crease, decides to play a full-blooded drive at a good length ball that wasn't hitting a second set of stumps. Just baffling cricket.
