I always was told that cheats never prosper.
Obviously, that does not apply any more

Suppose a good few years ago any bloke clearly caught cheating would have been disgraced, hounded out and condemned into the sporting wilderness. Every time his name was mentioned it would be cursed. Nowadays when caught out a couple of tearful appearances on TV, along with the wife and kids, and all is well. Fuck knows why the wife (or life partner to be PC) and kids are dragged into it but there you go.

Are there restrictions on crowd capacity at MCG ? Sounds like plenty Indians in there as always

In Melbourne, attendance is limited to 30% of a venue's capacity at the moment. So around 30,000 at the MCG Source Crowds Return to the MCG Hard to keep up with all the cricket going on at the moment. Tests in Kiwiland, Australia and in Centurion, South Africa. Plus Big Bash games on every day. And I have all the races on from NZ, Australia and the UK on as well. I live a hectic life That Test in NZ is being played at Mount Maunganui with only a 10,000 capacity. More like a suburban oval. Looks great. Plenty of people there over the weekend. A decent crowd in at the Gabba last night as well. On a sadder note, I read that English Test cricketer John Edrich passed away a few days ago. He lived till he was 83 so not a bad innings. He was on three Ashes tours to Australia in the 60s and 70s. He had to face Lillee and Thommo in Australia in 74/75. That would not have been easy especially as he was in his late 30s. The great DK broke two of his ribs. From CricInfo Quote:

Well written Baz - Agree 100%
Reg I think they had a 30k cap and yes there were a lot of Indians as they have a huge Indian population in Melbourne.

I got that bit right regarding Burns & Head. Didn't need to be Einstein to work that out. Now it's bye-bye time for Wade. He's had too many chances for mine.

This came up on Foxtel the other day
It bought a tear to my eye. We could do with a few like him in the current Australian Test team Oh, and if I reckon Australia has not been going too flash at the moment, I just have to remember the mid-80's From Wikipedia "The 1986–87 Australian season brought another Ashes series and another series loss. After England won the First Test, consecutive centuries by Border at Perth and Adelaide enabled Australia to secure consecutive draws.[25] However, Australia was defeated by an innings in the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne and the team had won only two of their last 22 Tests, and none of their last 14."

I'm on a roll
Wade's gone from the Test squad to hopefully tour South Africa. Sent packing to be vice-captain of the Australian T20 squad which he excels at. Bloody selectors brought back Head They also picked the Portuguese bloke, Moises Henriques. FFS he is nearly 34 years old and averages 23.42 in Tests. Last played a Test in 2016. Good at Sheffield Shield level but near useless in Tests. He and Steve Smith own racehorses together so that is probably why he is in the squad. There is a guy sitting at home in Australia playing grade cricket. He does not play Big Bash. He averages 144 in Test cricket in the last two years yet does not make the Test squad Quote:
The poor bastard is going to end up like Brad Hodge. Quote:
The selectors are fucking blind. They keep regurgitating failed players. No wonder Australia is sliding down the Test rankings
