Ross Duncan, Rob Kerr, Martin Kent, and David Ogilvie; they were _half_ decent ...

Ray Lindwall was born in an extreme outer southern suburb of Brisbane, called Sydney. Mascot to be precise.

Kasper is from Brisbane.

Oh, and Stewey the Ass is from Brisbane too - but you did say "half-decent", so maybe he doesn't count.

Peter Burge was from Kangaroo Point, which is just up the street from the Gabba.

CMcD is another of Ippy's finest.

He also has PH's red hair. I've no idea why I mentioned that.

Not an idea I needed, Fred.

BTW, you going to be there for the Test?

― tailender (tailender), Thursday, 11 December 2003 09:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Presume you mean Melbourne.

Not for first two days (driving home from Sydney for Xmas) but hopefully will be there on the 28th.

If you haven't got tickets by now you'll want to get a move on, there won't be much left.

I keep forgetting they're rebuilding the MCG. I can't afford to spend any more money this side of Xmas so if I miss out I miss out. Shouldn't have any trouble, they don't often get 20 000 through the gate day 3.

Tugga's last series and second-last Test. Bound to be a big crowd. Hope you can make it, though.

Sydney will be worse.
