It’s now 6 months since I ordered a Zeekr. Paid the deposit and was promised 2-3 months delivery and now nothing. No tracking, no updates and despite calls and requests, the local team knows nothing. May be a good car, but I certainly don’t rate the supply chain and commitments.

@TomSaundersABC I just opened your article this morning about “wettest El Niño on record”. You do know Perth recorded 56.8 mm of rainfall in July? Well below the long-term historical July average of ~147 mm. August predictions are not much better.

Mr Cleese, my Dad used to threaten with “it’s the pants” whenever we misbehaved as kids. I never knew exactly where that came from - he passed away a few years back now. Now I know! 🤣. Thanks so much for posting this. What a treasure!

We’ve already seen what McGrath did to Warner! LooseBusChange would last 5 balls against Warne, and Gilly would murder the bowlers. 5-nil series I reckon!

Although I think Vettori called Collingwood back in that case.

Along the same lines, the T20 international v West Indies is 4 pm on the 13th Feb 2024 which is a Tuesday. How does @CricketAus expect a crowd to get there from work in time? They will then say “Perth doesn’t get good crowds”. TV broadcast more important than grass roots fans.

Yes agreed - it’s FAIREST and best and Eddie in the commentary box or Ken Casellas keeping stats wouldn’t be able to see these things that truly make a champion.

My thoughts as well. All I can think of is that the thought is the pitch may deteriorate further in the fourth innings, but with such a lead - what could be the target they would now set? The pressure is now on Cummings to declare at the right time…

#PAKvAUS So fantastic Australia are back in Pakistan. Wonderful for the people in Rawalpindi. Bruce Yardley did a slide show of his tour back in the day to us players at @mgcclub. He had a great time there 👍
