@timqfadvice And the second Archbishop who was previously the Bishop of the Broken Bay diocese in northern Sydney as well.

@jimmaxcricket You’re right Jim.

For example, Chris Rogers scored 7 at the SCG during the 2013/14 Ashes.

Well that doesn't happen every day... Chris Rogers runs 3 through gully, and then gets four more overthrows. 7 runs to the score! #Ashes

@Peter_Fitz I’m familiar with Harbour Bridge references from cricket….

According to a quick Google search, "in Australian club cricket, a "Harbour Bridge" is a slang term for a particularly embarrassing misfield where a fielder dives or lunges at the ball, but it travels underneath them.”

[David McKay @DMcKay1971]

@Peter_Fitz I grew up calling those long cross field types of passes ‘Wally Lewis’ passes, which I learned from my older brother.

@MathewDickerson Thanks Mat for visiting Kintyre and reciting your poetry. I know it is greatly appreciated by the residents and their families.

@MathewDickerson Hi Mat, great photo. Thank you for the poetry recitals at Kintyre.

Wally F. has compiled some fantastic stories. Barry G. is always in good form.

@acxjones According to ChatGPT, the dates of Day One of the Sydney Test Match have varied between 2 January to 7 January in 2000 and 2026.

Maybe the four test matches in 31 days(?) influenced the scheduling decision.

@icelandcricket When the batter steps away from the pitch and offers the bowler all three stumps to bowl at, and the bowler misses!

This happened to me, and I was the bowler.

[David McKay @DMcKay1971]

@SKYview_Aerial Great photo Craig. Definitely made the right decision

[David McKay @DMcKay1971]

@acxjones Warnie wasn’t a fan of the 3rd new ball…

Hi @rodlaver - an old friend of mine has an old tennis racquet cover which he found in his school locker in Rockhampton many years ago, which you might remember.

Inside the cover is the name ‘Rodney Laver, Marlborough’.

My friend would like to reconnect to cover with you.

@MitchellGlenn Mitchell Johnson was incredible in the 2013/14 series.

I took the following photo after his first over in the Sydney test contained the six fastest deliveries of the match to that point.

#ashes Mitchell Johnson's opening over had the six fastest deliveries of the day

@PictureSporting In his book, “Farewell to Cricket”, Don Bradman recounts that during a match on the North America tour, the old Australian wicketkeeper, Sammy Carter, was struck in the eye by a ball which bounced sharply from the coir matting, and was blinded in that eye by the injury.

[David McKay @DMcKay1971]

@PictureSporting Don Bradman's honeymoon wasn't a typical vacation; after marrying Jessie Menzies in April 1932, he insisted she join him on an unofficial Australian cricket "Goodwill Tour" of North America, making the four-month tour their extended honeymoon, with 51 matches in Canada & USA.

@PictureSporting - will you be attending the SCG test? If so, it would be great to meet you and thank you for your historic cricket photos with a coffee or a beer at the game.

Please DM me if you will be attending the game.

[David McKay @DMcKay1971]

@acxjones @MitchellGlenn Absolutely agree with @acxjones - Don’t sell the BBL off to private investors.

As @acxjones has pointed out over the years re ongoing proposals to sell off the BBL:

“There is always free cheese in a mousetrap”

Paraphrasing the late, great rugby league coach, Jack Gibson
