It’s spread from the AFL to international cricket commentary. A couple of dictionary definitions: Verse, as a noun, means metrical composition (‘pages of verse’) and as a verb means to instruct. Versus is a preposition that means ‘against’ (especially in legal and sports use).

Still got it.

Cam Green took a gully catch (Blackwood) in Adelaide and immediately threw the ball away. Out! No question asked. So what if Michael Neser, having completed an outfield catch well inside the rope, simply flicked the ball back? He’d completed the catch just as Green had. 7Cricket

Gorgeous colour footage of Round 8, 1948 at Punt Road is released from ACMI archive. Looks like shot from the old cricketers stand. Check out the Red Rattler train, the old scoreboard. ~35,000 crowd packed in. youtu.be/EcSjiJLUWfE

What a fantastic set of tennis. And excellent commentary. Alicia Molik’s scene-setter to Sabalenka’s crucial service failure the highlight, but Jelena and Sam also top-shelf. #AusOpen

Whatever happened to 12 noon and 12 midnight? They are unambiguous and unmistakeable, unlike the ridiculous but now ubiquitous 12am and 12pm.

This is amazing England's Barmy Army 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎺, thankyou. Mum loved watching this and felt very touched ❤️

Cambridge University play Yorkshire at Fenner's in May 1970. The university games were the usual way of dusting off cobwebs for many counties and increasing a source of cheap runs and wickets. Geoff Boycott played in this game but only score 50 and 18

I’m sure you’re all wondering about the temperature in the room, it was all calm and cool. Only the tortilla soup was spicy hot! 😅

Unexpected moment at the state dinner when the president of South Korea sings “American Pie.”

Lovely to hang out with US Ambassador Caroline Kennedy. We went 60m up a giant eucalypt that’s grown for hundreds of years in Tassie’s southern forests. Such a travesty that this and other forest giants are scheduled for logging. Massive thanks to The Tree Projects for hosting us.

You gotta 💚 a US Ambassador to 🇦🇺 who’ll gladly be hauled up a giant tree in our threatened forests. It was really something to meet Ambassador Caroline Kennedy today, & to talk about what makes this island so precious & rare. Big thanks to The Tree Projects too. #politas

Australia’s greatest Ashes Test win in my lifetime, edging out Old Trafford 1961. Atonement in both cases: for Laker-imposed humiliation in 1956 and for Edgbaston 2005/Headingley 2019. And in both cases an Aussie skipper worked a final day miracle. Bravo. #Ashes #Ashes2023

If so called ‘friendly fire’ isn’t made punishable, it must now provide overwhelming evidence for the defence at some tribunal cases. Over to you AFL. #AFLCatsDees

Brilliant summation Graeme Rose (The Age, 6 July). Who could argue? #Ashes2023 #Ashes23
