Geoff Lemon's scathing piece on the Channel Nine cricket coverage.

"James Brayshaw has the emotional depth of a sock puppet during a button shortage."
Great article. It seems like a to;dr, but it's well worth the read to Cricket fans and those interested in sporting coverage in Australia in general.

Edit - much of the criticism of Channel 9's commentary team can be applicable to Saturday night footy on Seven.

Thanks for posting - an absolutely outstanding article that completely nails the problems with the current Channel 9 coverage. The behavious of McNamara is absolutely disgraceful from a supposed professional.

One of the best pieces I have read this year.

Cricket is about the story. A boundary isn’t important in the act, the ball being smashed or cracked or creamed or hammered. It’s what those runs mean in the context of an innings, what that innings means to a career, or to a total, or the total to the match, or the match to the series, or the series to the history of the rivalry, to records and their progression, to the wider game dating back to its inception. Everything in cricket is a thread in a wider tapestry, woven outward and forever, world without end, Amen.

Jesus ******* christ YES. I've never seen it put so well.

Yeah pretty happy this has a music vid and on the radio, as Style was always my favourite track of the album (and later found out T Swifts too), but the music video is pretty average.
I think it does capture the intent and mood of the song, though. The ones expecting an upbeat happy vid bemused me when the lyrics clearly didn't reflect that.
