Cricket tragic, wine lover and desperate for an eels premiership sometime soon.

@ajarrodkimber Very harsh on the off-cutter, Alderman took buckets of wickets with it. I can’t remember the last bowler that genuinely used it though

It’s Wednesday. Get out there and change the world. Or rock. Or project kindness. Or confront the bad guys. Or feed the hungry. Or help and animal. Or practice 8 hours. Or forgive yourself. Or make amends. Or crank it up. Or ignore these directives and just chill.

@MichaelByrnes Spot on. Was saying to my daughter this morning we need to remember the names of the departed and heroes like Abdul Aziz who took him on with a credit card scanner and his courage

[Shane Tapley @ShaneTapley]

@TrentDalton I never thought I read a book that included: dozens of references to the mighty eels and their champions from the 80’s; the bond of brotherly love; and the skin peeling power from the heat off the brown vinyl seats in a 1970’s Mazda! Thank you.

[Shane Tapley @ShaneTapley]

@philmvella Of course it is!

[Shane Tapley @ShaneTapley]

@ajarrodkimber For sure, but it has always been the hat of choice for bowlers, batsmen appropriated it

Goodness me. Nick Cave responds to Ptolemy, a 10-year-old fan:

@brydoncoverdale Bill Woodfull. Would’ve preferred to be recognised for his contribution to education

@adamzwar Best test opener not to score a test ton. Was mighty against the best of the West Indies

[Shane Tapley @ShaneTapley]

@theanalyst @HomeOfCricket Gower’s last test ton, 123 at the SCG closely followed by the first hundred of Lara’s first test ton (277) also at the SCG. The first 50 of Lara’s hundred was sublime.

@Peter_Fitz @GladysB Don’t forget the Parra Stadium rebuild in all this. A 32 year old, 22k seat stadium torn down and replaced with, wait for it, a 30k seat stadium... oh and Parramatta pool was demolished to make way for it! Lifelong eels fan, but that is a joke. Schools & hospitals first

@copes9 @jimmaxcricket @stevesmith49 Was at my old school a while back too talking about mental health and coping strategies. Think that is newsworthy.

The beautiful Nick Cave responding to a fan’s question about his son’s death. Good Lord.

@modernister1 Ha. We had brown carpet, Brown panelling, brown wallpaper and I think even brown curtains. I think it was the only colour my dad knew

[Barrie Cassidy @barriecassidy]

I want to see Khawaja’s image on the opera house sails by dawn otherwise I’m calling Gladys.
