How is Tim Paine not in the ODI side? His finger's obviously OK. His batting looks like a million bucks.

Cook is chef though and Broad is malfoy. Bell is Belly, sadly.

I'm not clever enough to make that poo poo up. It's probably ironic and plays on his "Broad is a poo poo bloke" image and the way he looks.

All Aussie blokes named Ryan are subjected to the nickname Rhino. And Lyon's nickname is Gaz, after Aussie Rules player and now media personality Gary Lyon

At least Matt Bruke probably would have caught it being a fullback and not a swimmer or some poo poo.

God, Sky's philosophy is that if it isn't on their channels then it doesn't exist, and even they don't do that (with cricket at least). Are they worried about CA selling the rights to someone else or what?

I'm pretty sure that Packer paid for like 35 years of rights all at once. I think the first time they got renegotiated was last year.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
From memory Findlay was pathetic in first class cricket.

From what I can understand this is 2nd division cricket? I think 3rd division is where you'd start thinking about compulsory retirement rules but in saying that if you're an ex first class cricketer playing against 15 year olds you'd think 100 would be enough to satisfy you unless your team's in trouble.

edit:

Found some exclusive footage of the match: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHlzBWZDtBM

It would have been hilarious if St. Johns was a school full of rich, private school kids, suddenly discovering what it was like to be on the wrong end of a power imbalance. Alas, wikipedia tells me the fees at St. Johns are like $800/year , so the lesson probably wasn't going to the right people.
