@telegraph_sport columnist .Love a kooky statistic, and tell it like it is. Enjoy the odd countdown. One that starts at 15 and generally ends at 1

Playing in a seniors event Johnny Miller complained about the difficulty of his 90 ft putt. 70 year old Jack Nicklaus was having none of it. Has to be seen to be believed.

Not only is @jimmaxcricket our greatest cricket commentator, he displayed his versatility by calling Rugby League seamlessly during the mid eighties.

CRICKET TRIVIA : Mitchell Starc test bowling average is currently 26.64. In his 101 test matches, at the age of 35, that’s the lowest his average has ever been. Quite unbelievable.

CRICKET TRIVIA : Australia bowled out England twice in 67.3 overs in Perth. Not since 1904 have England faced so few deliveries in losing a test match. That’s a wicket every 3.2 overs. #GottaLoveBazBall.

I know it’s a big call, but that’s in the top 3 of the greatest comeback victories I’ve ever seen in Australian test cricket England 1/60, 100 in front and Australia winning in the same day is ridiculous.

Brace yourselves. In the 148 years of any form of cricket, whether it be first class, grade or backyard cricket…..this is the single worst decision ever. No one appealed. Credit to the batsmen for accepting the decision.

Imagine if we had the allotted 90 overs in a day. This test might be over tomorrow.

England aren’t completely out of this test match, but to win the toss and last just 32 overs is absolutely embarrassing. Mitchell Starc was phenomenal.

Imagine if Australia had a fit Cummins and Hazlewood ? England could be 8 or 9 down by now. Starc can’t bowl em out on his own. He needs help.

This is the best opening spell I’ve ever seen Mitchell Starc bowl. He’s now 35 & is bowling with heat.

Steve Smith returned serve to Monty Panesar mentioning his embarrassing performance on Mastermind. He was asked 14 questions and got every answer wrong !

I will predict that heading into the Boxing Day test, the Ashes series will be locked at 1-1. I think England will go one up in Perth, but Australia will level the series in the pink ball test.

Two of the most horrendous umpiring decisions in the history of cricket. Not sure which was worse.

The biggest upset in Australian Rugby League test matches since 1970 was in 1988 when Great Britain won the 3rd test in Sydney ⬇️
