Peter Roebuck, cricketer, coach, writer, broadcaster and advocate, died tragically on Saturday night in Cape Town at the age of 55. Much has already been written about his acclaimed legacy. Much more will be written about his complexities. I just want to share one anecdote.

17:34 @TEDxAdelaide thanks. Looking forward to seeing some great talks! #
17:32 It's been fascinating following #tedxnewy and #tedxadl in tandem on Twitter. Will there video-on-demand of either? @tedxnewy @tedxadelaide #

12:46 How would you be if you ran for election and lost to a dead man... oh hello, John Ashcroft! #
12:41 Klout says I am influential in 6 topics. Australia, Sydney, Cricket - ok. Typos - oh yeah! But Mexico? And cars???? #
11:04 Of course the other big sports event news this morning was Doha not getting the 2017 World Athletics Championships :) #
10:24 Sad to see that @Hambantota2018 has gone quiet since the #CG2018 decision. Commiserations on the result. Try again in 2022? #

09:55 No #cricket in 2018 Commonwealth Games. RT @SixersBBL: Here's hoping they've included T20 by 2018! #
09:40 #TEDxNewy is under way in Newcastle. Ironic event at a time when the local council is imploding over the issue of tree management. #
09:33 Australia hosts the Empire/Commonwealth Games 1938, 1962, 1982, 2006, 2018. Five out of 21. Fair share? #cg2018 #
09:26 So is there any rational reason why, in 2011, I should have ActiveX plugins installed on my PC any more? #
09:09 The crowd at the Gold Coast live site are extremely subdued in comparison to the 1993 Sydney crowd when they won the Olympics. #
09:05 Gold Coast wins. I feel a little sorry for Hambantota. Anna Bligh looks happy, but no repeat of John Fahey 1993. #cg2018 #

07:06 Call me un-Australian but I don't back the Gold Coast for #CG2018. Why should Australia get the Games again after just 12 years? #

23:25 Good to see I got that blog entry posted just before this updated - MT @zimcricket: The ZimCricketNews Daily is out! http://t.co/xtYTX1di #

21:37 Less than a day ago, Australia had this Test by the throat. Kapow! #cricket #savaus #tinfoiltest #
21:34 What a stunning stunning victory to the Proteas. Congratulations @OfficialCSA. #cricket #savaus #
21:34 There's my answer. Yes it.is :) #cricket #savaus #
21:29 @suddacai Thanks. Probably won't need to now. @cricketicc #
21:25 Is that playing condition in yet where lunch is delayed if the match is about to end? @cricketicc #cricket #savaus #
21:20 Anticlimax. Very well played Amla. #cricket #savaus #
21:18 Frustrating. I wrote a blog post on the #cricket I wanted up before start of play today. Still struggling to publish :( #
21:10 He's such a good batsman is Amla. #cricket #savaus #
20:40 I cannot see Australia taking 9 more wickets in time :( #cricket #savaus #sunfoiltest #tinfoiltest #

13:12 @Geoff_Astle and for the many families that benefit from the solar bonus scheme? #

08:33 And congratulations to @mclarke23 on an excellent captain's knock when Australia needed it most. #cricket #savaus #

Some critics have described Day Two at Newlands as one of Australia's worst ever days of Test cricket. It's not even close. We bowled out the opposition for 96, after the captain played a classic leader's knock of 151. And have we forgotten those long long long days in the field bowling to the Poms less than a year ago?

But nor is it every day that an Australian Test team is bowled out for 47. Especially not after losing their first nine wickets for 21 runs. Eighteen overs worthy of the Pantheon of the Hideous utterly ruined what was otherwise a top day for Australia.

22:30 Does one need to wear a tin foil hat while watching the sun foil Test? #cricket #savaus #
22:01 Alan Wilkie!!!!! #hamster #

18:20 Great 4th innings chase by India. An outstanding Test win! #cricket #indvwi #

11:11 I had half-written a blog post on Warnie's retirement from IPL in May. Probably should finish and publish so I can do a followup. #cricket #
09:39 Yes. RT @charlesarthur: So @jilltwiss is hilariously livetweeting the Cain speech in the US. Go see. #

22:45 Tendulkar 15005. When I started following Tests no one had scored half that many. Though much less international #cricket played then... #
22:27 #cricket 15000 Test runs for Sachin Tendulkar. A more genuine milestone than aggregating hundreds across more than one type of game. #
20:53 I do hope Gladys' minions are archiving a Twitter search of "cityrail" for tomorrow's debrief. #nswpol #

14:38 However, the legislation is just a mechanism in the fight against #climatechange, not the fight itself, which is massive. #auspol #
14:35 Congratulations to everyone who worked towards making the carbon pricing legislation a reality. #auspol #
14:32 Tiger Woods. Ian Thorpe. Shane Warne. #
11:04 But this makes the competition between the #bbl and the Australia v India Test series even more curious. #cricket #

13:45 @Elliott1950 and no money in giving money to bowls either #

21:47 RT @DatelineSBS: Rick, the 9.30 news is moving to 10.30. Insight will be shown before Dateline at 8.30. #
21:45 @DatelineSBS thanks. Tuesday nights next year sounding great :) #
21:41 On #SBS1 now, some remarkable footage of JFK's last day in Dallas, the day of his assassination. #
21:29 So if @DatelineSBS is moving to 9.30 Tuesdays next year, what happens to the 9.30 news? @SBS #
20:33 ...but @LesMurraySBS's refugee story on @DatelineSBS takes precedence. #
20:32 Some Sunday nights the 8.30 choices are just too hard. Even TVS has"We Dive At Dawn" (1943). #abc1 #abc2 #sbs1 #tvs #
