Difficult is not the same as Impossible or Illegal. I hear what you are saying though. This is what I mean when I say the Authoritarians don't stop, they just pivot and change tact. They weren't able to

Not exactly. The proposed cash ban was going to make it a criminal act to do any transaction (with anyone) for over $10,000 AUD. Since it was defeated the banks HAVE tried to reduce cash usage and some

I would say the game was very much in the balance until about the 3/4 mark. That's when the Australian partnership had established itself and started to run away with the game.

We do. Honestly, we've been gradually losing our freedoms since well before 2019 but it's accelerated substantially in the last few years.

That's the key question. If the government gets to decide what is truth and is able to persecute all other views then we're in real trouble. History shows time and again that it ends badly.

So chunky!

Nice one. Would love to see pit back on the blockchain posting his own silver porn.

Tiny silver is still silver. Those are nice little currency units. Stack on!

Nice piece man. The Pied Piper was a dodgy mofo for sure.

Don't stress about your post rate. We're not going anywhere so whatever works best for you, works for us too. Unfortunately I don't know much about voice dictating software. I imagine that with the big

Nicely done. I don't normally reblog many posts, but this is a good introduction post. We're very glad to have you here as part of SGS. Stack on sir!

That is not entirely true. I agree with some of what you write but I am not arrogant enough to tell you that you are wrong about the rest. My own view is different and maybe this post helps to explain

This is heart wrenching. I'm so sorry Kerris. I wish there was something we could do but all we can do is share your sorrow. We don't know each other well but please know that you have friends all around

India didn't handle the pressure of expectation. You could see even before the game started that they were a bit pensive while Australia were beaming and excited for the opportunity. From the very first

Yes, I think the final result was fitting in many ways but there are definitely some integrity issues at work with the way the pitches are being prepared and managed. The ICC needs to be fortified to some

I would be betting on this too. I think something needs to break in the economy before they will cut again. But it's also heading into election time so maybe cuts will be well timed....

Great tips, thanks. I haven't watched much of the IPL in recent years but the player movements is a great insight. Trent Boult could be a key man with experience in the conditions. I'll check out the betting

That's a very good call. I've been expecting India to be playing on turning pitches all tournament but Wankhede has been flat until now. They'll be playing this on a used pitch?

I am sure that we could dig up some of the old information like mintage numbers. I remember there was some pretty hefty up front costs and we did pre-orders to try to soften that. It didn't help that 2018
