Think property's a lot cheaper. Or it was.

Tbf, I can't see the point in doing it unless you're going to buy something really shit.

There's loads of English ex-pats in Perth like. But there's not much there. Presumably it's a canny bit cheaper than Sydney and Melbourne but it's so isolated. Nice beaches though.

Next one is 2017, aye.

Early doors

Big test for the inexperienced Australian middle order now.

Andy Flower and his attempt to turn him into Glen McGrath.

Could be big for Finn who seems to be such a confidence bowler.

Bullshit, you'd have nothing to be snobby about

Just reminded me of when I'd been taking the piss out of the 'NUFC leisure wear' that was available and then saw Renton wearing some at The Trent the week after. Awkward.

Good start at least.

Thought the invasion started at Botany Bay. And Melbourne got the Olympics way back in the day when Sydney was still some backwater

Love that film

It's silver (or 'argent') rather than white (or it should be anyway).

One of the good things about a bar is that it's unlikely to attract many teetotalers

Beloved

Remember going there with my granny back in the day.

He's more of a hero to me as well.

Yeah. He'd have been right up there with Kapil Dev, Botham, Hadlee and Imran Khan in that era of great all-rounders. I can remember him from the old John Player 40 over games that were shown on council telly. Back then you had the best players in the world playing county cricket. He used to open the bowling with Richard Hadlee. Don't know if you remember but back then tests were Thursday to Tuesday with Sunday being a rest day and if there was a test match on England players would play for their county in the one day games on the Sunday. Used to love Somerset with Ian Botham, Sir Viv and Joel Garner.

Depends how you define world class I suppose but I'd put Shearer at his peak in that bracket but not Ferdinand. And I love Sir Les. Shearer had a far superior first touch as well.

Both I reckon

I think Ferdinand's finishing was what stopped him being world class, as opposed to a very good player. Shearer was a much better finisher.

You should be like Mike Patton and have a shit in the OJ
