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.

the show Catfish. Some absolute A+ level cybersleuthing to track down girls in this episode.

Calling employers and schools, map referencing, the works, these two have it down to a science

Weddings Parties Anything. Man, they were a good band. If Pete Seeger had been a member of The Clash this is what it would have sounded like.

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

Was out with my boy and dog this morning and crossed paths with William B Davis (cigarette smoking man) from X-Files. Yes, not a big celebrity but I'm a fan of the show

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.

I lost about 10 kg over the last 1-2 years. Went shopping this afternoon and found that the pants one size smaller actually fit me rather well now.

Having a baby tomorrow! It's weird knowing when the date is. He or she is 10 days overdue though so being induced. Lots of feelings tonight but mostly excited

Found this on reddit - it made me laugh

If ducklings are little ducks, are dumplings little dumps?

I prefer Rohan with a H. But congrats nonetheless.

Gough or Goughette would be nice names, failing that your choices are pretty good too.
