Love the comparison with Maradona … the human failings mixed with the genius.

Grew up watching Chappell, but Ponting was a class above. Our rating of Ponting maybe tarnished by him maybe playing for too long?

If you look at who was asked to rate the players, you will see it was a diverse panel of judges.

PS. I thought Boon should have been rated higher.

If you want change for the better, you need to always remember Gough Whitlam’s words … only the impotent are pure. I don’t agree with everything prescribed by Tom, but agree there needs to be a laser focus on winning. It doesn’t mean forgetting your principles, but you need to win to implement them.

Re-reading the Smiley books at the moment. A rare occasion where the actor and the character are one.

Love that ending. So true to the characters.

Second on my main playlist; after “Shout to the Top” by Style Council.

Yes, it’s a hard one. But you have to be happy for a lot of the players that stuck it out.

This is the version developed for the umpires …

Has the “Greek Uncle” energy that you only appreciate as you get older.

Used to wear the bigger symmetrical knot, until you convinced me (rightly) that the smaller asymmetrical knot looked better.
