In Matt Hayden's book:
"The IPL needed Australian players but didn't need Australia as an entity. We wouldn't be running the show and Modi is fairly dismissive of any excessive demands. Michael Clarke found that out in a hurry. I remember him saying to Modi, 'I am worth X amount of dollars.'...
Nine Network Sport boss Steve Crawley was quoted this morning in The Australian, on BBL and Michael Slater:
“I reckon Slats (Michael Slater) and Heals (Ian Healy) and Warnie would eat them for breakfast,” Crawley said. “What they’re all doing is entirely different. You can’t call a Test match...
Clarke on Watson in his new book: http://www.news.com.au/sport/cricket/clarke-after-the-warner-barroom-incident-righto-watto-time-for-some-harmony/story-fndpt0dy-1226756888978#mm-breached
Hussey was on SEN today and spoke about that Clarke/Katich incident.
Huss was quite clear that Clarke had made plans with his family (wonder why his book says something different); that the first approach to hurry up the team song was 7-7:30pm, the song was eventually sung at around 9-9:30pm -...
Clarke no longer speaking to Mickey Arthur

Take the boat incident out, I thought it was pretty damning of Clarke as a team mate and VC.
Over the next couple of years, my view changed. Pup remained a good trainer and we could all see that he loved playing for Australia and was determined to do well. But away from cricket, he moved in a...

Confirms what I've long thought - that Michael Clarke is only concerned about what's...
What about BS Bedi? He has some anti-India moments.
Who knows if Murdoch is anti-Australia? Here, his News Ltd. newspapers tend to be fairly pro-Australia. Can't say the same for the Fairfax papers.
Sweeney Research is Australia's most authoritative report on sport and sponsorship.
The Australian cricket team is the most well known sports team here.
I have already told you the three most well known sports (in my post above).
It is Sweeney Research.

1. Yes, it is the norm over here.
2. The most recent research results from Sweeney Research shows that the number 1 sport in Australia is Tennis, followed by swimming, then cricket.
A year ago, the number 1 sport Australia wide was cricket, followed by swimming, then AFL football.
Yes and no. Australian actors who have also featured in Hollywood like Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman are the most in demand Australian celebrities. There are other high profile celebrities in Australia who appear mainly on Australian TV, not Hollywood.
Hope that helps.
Hussey has had the advantage of coming into the team as a fully mature player and person. I saw some interesting statistics recently, which compared batsmen from the period which Hussey made his Test debut. (Credit to Prince EWS on cricketweb).
Highest Test averages since Hussey's debut...

At the press conference after his innings, he looked really puzzled by the whole incident. He expected the ball to roll back towards Anil and was surprised when Anil caught it in front of his face. Ponting thought it was a bump ball and so did the umpire and it...
Haha. That's gold.
Having said that, I'm a fan of Mark Nicholas as a presenter and commentator. Why? Because he's always positive. Doesn't say a bad thing against either team the way a Gavaskar or Ian Chappell would.
I will try to answer this as best as possible because of your persistence.
In my opinion, the top celebrities are the top Hollywood actors/actresses and the most well known Australian actors/actresses. I am basing this by the amount of interest that the paparazzi show in them.
