@cricketcomau Ha, talking about the schedule only to 2032.... What about in 30 years if we want to totally restructure the summer... Only 49% but everyone know they will bend to the will of the private owners.
I am stunned by the amount of misinformation on the topic. So here is meteorologist @mikebettes explaining what happened during the Nepal glacial collapse. Listen to experts.
@brentread_7@codenrl It'd be great to know a few fixture dates for the Perth Bears so people could lock trips to WA to see them next year. Build a bit of interest.
Golf Australia confirmed on Tuesday a multi year partnership with the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour to elevate the men’s Australian Open. The agreement enables the PGA Tour of Australia and DP World Tour to co-sanction the event and will lead to increased prize money, and a “distinct window in the global golf calendar” to ensure a strong field.
James Sutherland, Golf Australia CEO, said:
“The Australian Open has a proud history going back to 1904 and is recognised globally as one of the great national championships of world golf.
“Our ambition is clear. We want the men’s Capital. com Australian Open to be recognised among the top 10 most prestigious golf tournaments globally, and everything we are doing for the event flows from that ambition.
“Getting the Australian Open right is about securing the total mix. That means world-class venues, strong host-state partnerships, commercial partners, sanctioning partners, broadcast reach, a great fan experience and the ability to attract strong international fields.
“This agreement with the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia strengthens the global relevance of the championship and gives us another important platform to keep growing the event year-on-year.
“Together with our partnerships with Victoria, South Australia, Capital. com, our host venues and our other commercial partners, this puts us in the best possible position to realise our ambition of making the men’s Australian Open one of the world’s great golf events.”
This will be a big blow to LIV Golf who targeted adding the event as part of their 2027 vision.
@SENLeague Another key point - why does it always have to come back to profit. How about cheaper tickets for a full house for a great atmosphere and more people enjoying the sport. Period. They aren't going broke with affordable ticket prices.
@tommorris32@1116sen Greenberg and Baird's 'self determination' model is a joke. They couldn't get the privatisation deal through, so they will privatise under this model. Good on NSW and Qld.
When Australia ended West Indies’ 15-year dominance.
#OnThisDay in 1995, Australia became the first side in 15 years to defeat West Indies in a Test series - a moment that marked a seismic shift in world cricket.
The Australian players celebrated the historic triumph late into the night, but for Steve Waugh, the emotion ran deeper. He famously went to sleep still wearing his whites, socks, and baggy green cap - a reflection of just how much the victory meant to him.
That win in Jamaica wasn’t just a series result; it signalled the beginning of a new era for Australian cricket.
It was also a defining chapter in Waugh’s career, as his resilience and match-winning 200 became one of the cornerstones of his enduring legacy.
@SweeneyPaddy9@footyindustryAU@BBL@ScorchersBBL@9NewsPerth I watch a lot of BBL and much prefer watching young Australians than internationals. Not everyone feels this way, but I think they are bloody mad privatising. If they want to improve the quality get the test players involved rather than sell half your product.
