If you were selecting an England Team of the 1970s, Derek Underwood would be an automatic selection as spinner, along with Alan Knott. In fact, the team could look like this: 1. Geoff Boycott 2. Mike Brearley (c) 3. Bob Woolmer 4. Derek Randall 5. Tony Greig 6. Ian Botham 7. Alan Knott 8. Derek...

Recall a similar situation back in 2013 where the previous service didn't get the final scores from all grades uploaded until 11:30pm on Saturday night after Round 1. It was too late for the newspapers and the 88.3 Southern FM 'VAFA Sunday' program to get the results, and it forced the then VAFA...

This is my team: B: Gary Ayres (Haw) Alex Rance (Rich) Bruce Doull (Carl) HB: John Rantall (SM/NM/Fitz) Peter Knights (Haw) Terry Daniher (SM/Ess) (vc) C: Keith Greig (NM) Russell Ebert (Port Adel-SANFL)/NM) (c) Peter Matera (WCE) HF: Ross Glendinning (NM/WCE)...

Was that the game where the Victorians had to take 12 hours to fly to Perth via charted planes due to a pilots strike?

If everyone thinks Australia will win the series in a canter against India, think again. India has won the previous two series here in Australia, and our top 6 batsmen are under the pump. And I expect this summer to be no different. On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

What the Victorian Liberals need right now is an effective opposition leader (ie Tony Abbott) who could strike deep wounds into the government so badly that Labor could start thinking about replacing Jacinta Allen leading into the 2026 Vic state election. On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

Is Mr Madafferi the Mafia mobster who had dinner with the then Opposition Leader Matthew Guy during the course of the 2018 Victorian election, at the exact same time the Coalition had a law-and-order policy only to have it blow up in their faces on election night, with the then Victorian...

Still shaking my head as to why didn't the Victorian Liberals do a major cleanout of the parliamentry side of the party after losing the 2014 state election. The Liberals should've got rid of a lot of the deadwood that are still there, clinging on to a last desperate chance of being in...

If John Pesutto loses his defamation cases in court, he will have no other choice but to quit the leadership. Expect this to happen around November/December. If that was to occur, then Peter Dutton's chances of winning key Victorian seats at the next federal election will be reduced to zero.

So John Pesutto keeps the leadership...for now. Expect rumblings about Pesutto's hold on the Liberal Party leadership to re-emerge after the Victorian Budget.

Expect to see Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton step in to save his Victorian counterpart John Pesutto, because a leadership challenge is the last thing Dutton needs in Victoria, with a slim chance a federal election could be called as late this year. And a divided Victorian Liberal branch...

Liberal Party leadership spill likely to happen as early as Tuesday. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Would be interesting to see who'll pick up the 'poisoned chalice' that is leadership of the Liberal Party. One thing for sure: Matthew Guy wouldn't want to put his hand up again after leading the Liberals to two big election losses-and both times to Daniel Andrews.

Could we see a total divorce happening between the Liberals and the Nationals before the 2026 Victorian state election? And older people might recall the last time the Liberals and the Nationals had a major bust up was in 1987 over the 'Joh for PM' debacle..and it didn't end well. On 5002X...

When was the last time a Victorian was the leader of the Liberal Party in Canberra?

When Victorian Liberal MPs are summoned to give evidence in the Moira Deeming case (likely to start in September), what would be of most interest is what they really think of John Pesutto as the leader of the Liberal Party in Victoria. And you can be certain that their Labor counterparts will...

Wonder if there is a major rift in the NZ camp over Neil Wagner's 'retirement/unretirement', and also rumblings about Tim Southee's captaincy. Still can't believe why Kane Williamson isn't the skipper of the NZ Black Caps.

Has the Victorian Liberals ever done a review of the 2018 and 2022 Victorian state election defeats, or is it placed in the 'too hard to do' basket? And seeing the jungle drums are beating loudly about the real chance of Victorian Opposition Leader John Pesutto possibly facing a leadership...

Louise Staley? Is she any relation to the late Tony Staley who played a role in helping Malcolm Fraser beat Bill Snedden which ultimately led to the Dismissal of the Whitlam Labor Government on November 11, 1975?

Seeing Scott Morrison last day as a federal parliamentarian is coming up, it'll be interesting to see how many people on the Coalition side of the chamber will congratulate Morrison once he does his farewell speech to parliament.

If I was in charge of the Australia v India Test series fixtures, this is how it goes: 1st Test- Optus Stadium, Perth 2nd Test- The Gabba, Brisbane 3rd Test- Adelaide Oval, Adelaide (D/N) 4th Test- MCG, Melbourne 5th Test- SCG, Sydney On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

How would Tony Abbott or Malcolm Turnbull had to deal with the then Victorian Premier Dan Andrews lockdown decisions if they were still PMs during the COVID-19 health emergency crisis? On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

I reckon Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull would've had a quiet chuckle seeing poor old Scott Morrison just been made PM in August 2018, and won 'the miracle victory' in the 2019 federal election, now having not only to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and the fallout from it, but also having to...

Even though Australia is on a tour of New Zealand, thoughts now turn to next summer's blockbuster Test series against India, and who will be in the Australian team for that series. Who will open the batting now that David Warner has retired? What about the middle order, and can Marcus...

It'll be interesting to see what sort of reception David Warner will get from the NZ cricket spectators in his final games for Australia. Remember Greg Matthews got a hostile welcome from the Kiwis on the 1986 tour, when a spectator threw a toilet seat towards Matthews while he was in an ODI match.

Bit of a shame the ABC can't make a 'Godfather' like offer to Tim Lane or Gerard Whately to take over the ABC's cricket coverage as lead commentator once Jim Maxwell retires.

What are the odds of the Nationals seriously thinking about breaking away or ending their long-standing 'partnership/alliance' with the Liberals if the following occur: 1) The Liberals lose the federal seat of Dunkley and the Tasmanian state election; 2) The looming court case between Victorian...

If the Liberals not only lose the Dunkley by-election but also the Tasmanian state election, what are the odds of a leadership spill against Opposition Leader Peter Dutton? And who will be the likely candidates to take Dutton on? On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

I reckon Labor (when they were in Opposition) missed a gold-plated opportunity to move a vote of no confidence in the then Coalition government in late August 2018. If Labor had pushed for a no-confidence motion on the floor of the House of Representatives (and remember, the Coalition only held...

The ABC also missed mentioning the five by-elections that very nearly cost the Coalition government. On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app
