It seems Brian Wilson has given the OK for a film about his life. If they get it right, it could be magnificent.

This is ace. A 14 year old girl picked for Carey's First XI cricket team. She's obviously pretty handy. And cricket, being a non-contact sport based around skill and timing rather than strength, is one of our best prospects for genuine boy/girl action at the highest level. I'd love one day to see a lady in the baggy green, particularly if she took Justin Langer's spot.
