Which Chappell and which Waugh. Mark has a fine record against England, and Greg Chappell not that flash

Yeah, had a great chat or two with the guy who ran it, a real cricket nut. The last time he was waiting eagerly for a book on Clarrie Grimmett, who he personally rated higher than Warne.

Does it have a pie shop the quality of Elaine's Pies, next to Canty's bookstore in Fyshwick. I find myself there for a browse through the cricket shelf and a pie no less that twice a week these days...

I never had the pleasure of Elaine's pies - I feel like my six years in Canberra were now incomplete...

Nice pies those from Elaines, there is also a nice bakery in Bugendore, with pies almost as good
