'Couldn't believe it': Elliott's record haul destroys Tassie | cricket.com.au

Technical tweak helped 24-year-old son of ex-Test batter snare Victoria's best ever men's one-day…

"The big fella (Elliott) had a day out with his seven-for and finished off nicely with the bat. Definitely not panic meetings at all after that."

'panic meetings' is a new one to me.

On Fireball Friday they played audio of Kingy on a footy show the day after the 1999 GF. He said he hadn’t been to bed and he was worried about making a mistake because “he was half caste”.

That was odd. He said it twice..I figured I just wasn't getting the joke

Doug Hawkins: "Oscar Mackaninny"

That’s probably one of Doug’s better attempts at the English language.
And I’m a fan of Doug of course

getting sick of Boomer Harvey doing that thing a lot of older country Australians do and get their present/past tense wrong:

e.g. "Brisbane come from 44 points down last weekend"

People in the everyday world doing this I can abide, but not a professional broadcaster, especially the ABC.

Might be a North thing.. as Kingys also VERY guilty of it.
Perhaps "The Best Analyst In The Business" should analyze a Grade 5 English Book over the off season.

Yeah. People might say we are being pedants but these guys should be professional.

That would require any ex-player to know what a book is and be capable of reading one.

Anyone who tries to defend these clowns, especially with something along the lines of "well does it really matter", just do one thing.

Mispronounce their name. Deliberately. Watch how quickly accuracy does matter.
