Reckon I just saw that dip shit trumpet player in the Myer Centre

How the **** can you find test cricket so boring you need to bring a trumpet player along to keep you entertained.

Hi, I'm soccer, nice to meet you.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Imagine you invented a heap of sports, only to find the rest of the world are much better at them than you are.

I'd be looking for something to distract myself, too

Sorry if it's previously been raised on here but does anyone know the rationale behind the start time being 10.00am instead of 10.30am?

or even 11:00 am

I'd say this... https://www.cricket.com.au/matches?year=2025&isCompleted=0

Cricket finishes at 6:00 pm CDST, hour news at 6 pm, 15 min lead in for 7:15 start in Sydney

It's an early start but just remember that the first one doesn't count. :partyman:
