I know how you going on
I got the Ra Ra
go ahead and throw the ballCause Bingo, now I’m hittin’ a six…
Mike Hussey’s got nothing on my special lady friend. ‘Twas a stellar weekend filled with sunshine, beach cricket, barbecues and friends. It’s weekends like this that remind me why we moved down here.
I’m back into manic mode at work, so I’ll leave you – short and sweet – with the next Mr. Cricket on deck.
M.I.A.’s 2005 debut was one of the best records of that year. Buy “Arular” at

Nice to see you bringing the young lad up right!
I don’t reckon cricket’s been the same since Glenn McGrath quit. And the Waugh brothers were pretty awesome too. Gilly will always be my favourite though.

It’s so cold out here, the bathroom pipes are frozen. That means Ten-year Old is rip-sticking around the house on my wood floors.

Again, you’re killing me with these beach pix. To my right is a patio window. On the other side of said window, snow gently falls. Where’s my piece of the pie?

If there’s one sport I can’t get my head around and that’s cricket. Knowing my attitude to sports (inept but violent!) I would have turned a bat into a weapon

That settles it. When he gets old enough to decline an invitation you can whack him with a cricket bat.

Agnes – Shane Warne’s my favorite, but since he’s a commentator for Channel 9 it’s almost like he didn’t leave. I don’t know what’s going on with the Comment Love thing. Will try and sort that out.
Siren/Angel – Don’t worry, you’ll get yours when we’re suffering in July and August.
SSG – Yep, I showed my skills. Or lack thereof. Hey, thanks again for Boy Z’s bat – he loves it.
CMGD – COme on down!
Ariza – Are you questioning her form? She was the best batsman of the lot of us.
TUB – Down here, come and get it. By the way, I picked up Netherland – thanks for the recommendation it’s fantastic!
Andrew – He is a bad ass.
Prefers – I don’t miss that kind of cold.

Awesome photo of the boy Z. Love it. Glad you had such a great weekend. As much as I loved being in the US over Christmas, there is such a specialness about summer in Australia. After all these years, I’m finally warming to cricket… but I still reckon baseball is better.

Ahh…Warnie. Great cricketer, but not so good with the decision making off field!
I’m not sure what’s going on with comment luv, suspect I’m the one with the problem – everyone else seems to have it sorted!

I can NOT wait until the July/August timeframe, when all of us NON-expatriates are posting beautiful beach pictures, and you’re stuck in the house trying to avoid below zero temperatures. Glad you and your family are making the most of it though.

Proper bats are round, not flat.

Uh Joe, I hate to rain on your parade but it doesn’t really get below freezing in Adelaide. I doubt the day time lows get into the 40s and rarely into the 50s…..sorry.

Damon – It was.
Erin – I think I’ve gotten to the point where I like cricket better – especially test cricket.
Flutter – These days it’s hard to get the front of him, he’s always headed off somewhere.
HIF – Yep, I’ll be jealous in August.
Agnes – Yeah, but he was an absolute joy to watch bowl.
SSG – I’m trying. I’m trying.
Joe – Dr. O’C beat me to the punch. The COLDEST it ever gets here is about 35 – 37 (F).
Nathan – It’s easier to hit with a flat bat though. Maybe you should try it for softball.
Chris – He looks butch, doesn’t he?
Jill – The M.I.A. one? Has that gotten into the American market? Excellent – she’s outstanding.
