'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

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.
