Am I the only one who remembers Tino Best as being absolutely rubbish when he came onto the scene?

He was well and truly in the same category as Marlon Black and Nixon McLean.

Purely as a city Melbourne is the greatest city in the world. And the MCG has no equal as the greatest stadium on the planet.

Sydney is comfortably a better city. I know this as I've spent significant time in both and your experiences in life involve lying about living in the eastern suburbs from your house in coffs.

The only thing Melbourne really had over Sydney was the small bar scene but Sydney in my opinion has over taken Melbourne there. Places like Baxter inn are as good as any bar in Melbourne.

Can someone explain to me why we're sticking with that Victorian behind the stumps when his predecessor is still clearly a superior player with both bat and gloves?

4/176 is a great score considering we were at 2/2.

240 is easily doable from here.

Public transport is much better in Melbourne than Sydney. Melbourne's layout is so much better. It is much easier to get from point A to point B. Look at the two cities on a map, Sydneys roads and freeways look like someone threw paint at a wall and whatever came up is where they built roads. Melbournes actually look like they've been designed by an adult human. Sydney has great beaches but overall Melbourne is a much better place to work and exist in. Sydney is better if you work and spend all your time within 15 minutes of your house and never use public transport. Melbourne is better if you have to travel outside of your own suburb.
