Best Ever Australian Test Cricket Eleven
20 Nov 2021 Leave a comment
Seeing as a few people showed interest in my post on a best New Zealand Eleven I thought I would try my luck with an Australian team. My interest in Australian cricket started with the 1958/59 Ashes series but a number of the players I have selected were from before that time and they were great players I grew up reading about.
My team in batting order is:
- Bill Ponsford
- Bill Woodfull
- Don Bradman
- Greg Chappell
- Steve Waugh
- Keith Millar
- Alan Davidson
- Don Tallon
- Shane Warne
- DennisLillee
- Ray Lindwall
Bradman would be Captain and Norman O’Neil would be my 12 man..
There are a number of unlucky players in my mind – Neil Harvey, Ashley Mallet, Bobby Simpson, Clarrie Grimmett, Doug Walters, Mathew Hayden, Richie Benaud, Charlie McCartney, Rodney Marsh, Ricky Ponting to name a few – you cannot pick them all.
On form Steve Smith would have pushed hard…

The Palaeoclimate Problem – Net Zero Watch

Modern warming differs from the gradual rise in temperature seen in the past 10,000 years. That’s the conclusion of a paper just published in the journal Nature, says David Whitehouse.
Reconstructing the temperature timeline back to 24,000 years ago – the so-called Last Glacial Maximum – a team of researchers show that recent warming is unusual.
Knowledge of past climate is important to put our present climate into context, allowing us to see what climatic variations can take place in the absence of contemporary amounts of greenhouse gasses.

You’ve Been Had: Investors Drawn By Massive Solar Subsidy Scam
19 Nov 2021 Leave a comment
Add ‘wind’, ‘solar’ or ‘renewable’ to a financial asset and you’ll soon have a line of suckers between here and the horizon.
The canny investor knows that, if it’s too good to be true, it is. However, that doesn’t curb the enthusiasm of those eager to take your money and run.
Not that the habit of fleecing investors is exclusive to the wind and solar industries, heaven forbid. However, as Paul Homewood outlines below, these boys are very good at it; provided that the subsidies keep flowing.
Solar Subsidy Farming
Not a Lot of People Know That

There’s an outfit called Next Energy Solar Fund, who are after your money to invest in solar projects:

Next Energy don’t directly own the solar farms, it is merely the holding company for a number of shell companies who do own them. This is advantageous to them…
