    Two weeks into the Aus cricket crisis, we've seen the offending players beaten up. The CEO front the media. But CA Chairman David Peever remains MIA. How has he and his board allowed this "whatever it takes" culture to develop in Australian test cricket?

    Why does Cricket Australia find it so hard to just say this was cheating, plain & simple? Not just "probably appropriate in the circumstances". And why is the CA Chairman now missing in action at such a crucial time?

    It’s appalling for Abbott, a former Prime Minister of Australia, to launch a book by Pauline Hanson. This is little more than sucking up to the forces of racism in Australia.

    This has been an important few days in Beijing. The only subject for debate at the annual has been whether or not a full-blown trade war can be avoided. Right now, I think it’s genuinely a 50/50 prospect.

    Major announcement by & that they’ll convene another during the UN General Assembly. 1-year out from the SG’s own Summit, it can send a clear signal that countries must start doing the work back home to increase their Paris targets.

    What on earth has happened to the culture of Australian cricket that could have made this sort of cheating behaviour even thinkable. It's disgusting. And deeply damaging.
