This sad news will most likely be hidden from view by OZ national newspapers between a 'Hair loss Advert and one giving a ten per cent discount for a treatment for hemorrhoids.
Have a thoughtful day , Vest.

Ben Dories The whining sports writer from the Sydney Daily Telgraph is complaining about the content of S/African born players within the English cricket team. Ben most of those have English bloodlines, does that mean my son of English parentage cannot play for England if he was born overseas?
Over many years dozens of English born men have played for Australia. More recently the cast aside Andrew Symonds, and the most disgraceful addition to the Australian team in the 80's was the South African batsman Keppler Wessels who was proclaimed an Australian citizen as soon as he arrived in Oz, Wessels after a couple of seasons fled back to Apartheid land.

Migrants intent on staying in Oz have a mandatory wait of two years before appling for Australian citizenship.

Ben; Enjoy your sour grapes, you whining twit.
WALLY said…
I am a real Australian and my mum says none of those aussie cricketers were true blue aboriginal blokes., so we say congrats to the pommie (English) cricketers. mum says its time they learned to take losing on the chin.
Vest said…
Wally: Taking it on the chin certanly came home to roost when the ball struck by Matt Prior bounced onto Ricky Ponting's unshaven dial,for him, Chewing the Cud (wrigley's) will be difficult for a while.
A while ago I heard of one aborigine referring to non Aborigine Australians as Euro's,Sino's,Indo's and Afro's, with a AUS prefix.
Makes sense I suppose, but maybe it has race imputations.

Edward Jones said…
It was a great day, I have followed English cricket from my days at Watts when they used to write in chalk the latest score on a blackboard. Was at the oval the day Frank Chester gave Len hutton out for hand ball. I was like a cat on hot bricks as the Grand Prix was on and Lewis Hamilton was in the lead.
Must admit I was a bit worried when Ponting and Hussey were batting well, Freddies throw was a turning point, then clark to get out five minutes later the writing was on the wall. England won't go overboard like they did in 2005, no MBEs this time. Think it has been a great series.
Edward Jones, Watts, No 183, 1945-1949.
Vest said…
Edward, thanks for your comment.

Edward you must be pushing 75 now, assuming you were eleven years of age when first attending Watts College, my deceased brother went there in 1935 and his School Number was 253. At ten years five months to the day I joined the school Wed Dec 16 1936, my school number was 117.
I am pleased you are a cricket lover.
It is a shame that the Daily Telegraph my fav Sydney daily allows their shabby cricket writers to find all manner of excuses to defile the game with their sour grape and insulting personal attacks on English people in general.
I quote, people in Glass houses should not throw stones,in case their own shabbiness is exposed.

Keep this in mind the next time you are about to repeat a rumour.

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.

One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, 'Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?'

'Wait a moment,' Socrates replied. 'Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test.'

'Triple filter?' asked the acquaintance.

'That's right,' Socrates continued. 'Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?'

'No,' the man said, 'actually I just heard about it.'

'All right,' said Socrates. 'So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?'

'No, on the contrary ....'.

'So,' Socrates continued, 'you want to tell me something bad about him, even though you're not certain it's true?'.

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued..' You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?'

'No, not really...'

'Well,' concluded Socrates, 'if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?'

The man was defeated and ashamed. This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.




But It also explains why he never found out that Plato was having an affair his wife.............

I am sure it must have been only PLATONIC

like with me and Rose

Hi Vest,glad to see that you recorded the English victory in its full glory,as you can imagine the press over here were full of it especially the red tops,WE WHIPPED THIER ASHES being one of the best.The second 20-20 starts in just over an hour but just heard it's raining in Manchester so it might be washed out like the first one.Hope your looking forward to the ODI's which start on Friday.Take care of you & yours.

Ben Dories:
The batsman who was born in Glasgow Scotland in 1909 100 years ago today, was Archie Jackson, who at the age of !9 became the youngest AUSTRALIAN to score a test century playing against England in Adelaide.
Unfortunately he died of T B at the age of 24 years. in 1933.
