You guys are funny. The et al is better than the cricket!

Have you read Michael Parkinson’s “My Sporting Life”? He says Keith Miller is his favourite sportsperson! How about a deep dive into Keith Miller? He sounds very glamorous!

Our local football team in Roma is called the Echidnas- their dancing girls are called “The E - chick - nas”!🤣

Community service request. Does anyone know if there is a cricket book that deals with politics in Pakistani cricket? All help gratefully received.

The reference to long winded team names reminds me of Chinese restaurants with names that are all some combination of: Lucky/Red/Golden/Jade; Rickshaw/Dragon/Emperor; Inn/House/Palace.

The best team name I know of is the local club that I played one season of junior AFL for as a junior, the Tyabb yabbies on the Mornington Peninsula. They have a cricket team too!
