    Happy Birthday Cozza

    Been a tough year for the big fella, with his hero Boris asleep at the wheel causing tens of thousands of deaths and Tranmere’s impending unjust relegation. There’s only so much you can gloss over. No wonder he kicked up a stink in London on Saturday. Hoping the (happy new) year ahead gets...

    Meat Trays

    Do any other countries have the custom we do here of buying raffle tickets to win meat trays at pubs and clubs on certain nights of the week? Obviously they're a decent fund raiser for the establishment, but fmd they're wonderful. My grandfather used to sell them of a Friday night at the local...

    Slow clap....

    To the mods for closing the offending thread in CC after a ****ing day of piling on. You blokes are completely ****ed in the head and have not a sliver of common sense, character or perspective about you. Not one. Too busy pandering to the brain dead cabal to do your ****ing jobs Honestly...

    Australian intra-squad warm up game 23-26 August, The rose Bowl, Southampton

    Ridiculously titled the "Haddin XI v Hick XI", presumably one side will try to bomb someone over long off with the score at 5/18 while the other will never reach its potential, but look a million bucks doing so.

    Injuries thread

    Never a nice topic, more so during the biggest tourney we have. Just a thread to document any injuries picked up by players in the lead up to/ during the WC. Will kick off with Warner's leg injury which kept him out of the SL warm up and has him in some doubt for Australia's first game...

    Notre Dame Cathedral Fire

    One of the great medieval buildings of the world has been virtually gutted. Such an amazing piece of architecture that’s stood since the 12th century, withstood revolutions and world wars. And it looks like it’s gone. Arguably the centre piece of the most perfect of European cities. Will be...

    Reported mass shooting/ critical incident in Christchurch

    Nominate Your Country’s Chennai

    For reasons I’m unsure of, there seems to be a CW meme that Chennai is not exactly the jewel in the crown of India . Comments abound that it’s not a great place, and the meme seems to be that if something is of a poor standard or worse, then it’s “Chennai-standard.” I’ve been spending some time...

    The Bambino-GIMH Feud

    This one has popped up a bit recently, and there's some snark going on, the cause for which I cannot work out. It seems to be a couple of decent blokes who've had a falling out over who knows what, and it's festering. I hate to see this happening. This isn't like a zorax or OS pile-on, which is...

    Australian fans complain about bland Indian team

    "Same old whinging nobodies", said New England grazier Tom Bullock. "They come here every time saying they'll win and after six days' cricket they've been rodgered and never stop complaining", mused Gympie newsagent Kylie Scragg. "Why do they always say 'This time we have the bowlers!' before...

    Latest Review into Australian Cricket

    Out today in the wake of the South African fiasco. Here's a summary from the Grauen Australia site. Looks like a lot of tree hugging hippy crap to me at first blush, with CA not really answering the most important question - how it can oversee the problematic culture for so long yet somehow...
