23:34 Richie Benaud's speech to the WSC squad was heaps better than that effort from Jules. #assange #howzat #
23:07 Has Julian Assange issued his denouncement of Ecuador's repression of the free press yet? #
23:04 Just noticed that Michael Moore's "Capitalism A Love Story" is on #SBS1 (and has been for an hour and a half) #
22:41 Hoping there's a third part of a Kerry Packer trilogy based on his stoush with Bronwyn Bishop #
22:35 well #Howzat ep1 was certainly better than I expected. Some dramatic licence but no major facts distorted. Good drama #
22:32 I don't recall the sightscreen falling over. #howzat #
22:23 Maybe they couldn't portray Bradman in #howzat because Gary Sweet was busy filming Househusbands. #bodyline #
22:21 So they didn't get a actor to play Mike Procter in the remade WSC opening titles. #howzat #
22:13 Brendon Cowell IS Rodney Marsh. #howzat #
22:05 Things I learned while watching #howzat: @JaneCaro is the daughter of Andrew Caro, WSC boss in its second year. #
21:50 The Sydney Showground. There is @ourSCG's contribution to the birth of WSC - by making them play next door! #howzat #
21:47 I find it hard to believe that KFBP had never heard of Brian Morelli. But that's dramatic licence I suppose. #howzat #
21:42 So is Braddles not actually depicted in #Howzat, but referred to off-screen? #
21:40 KFBP at Lord's pre-dating Allen Stanford by 31 years. #howzat #
21:29 great re-creation of the David Frost interview with KFBP and Robin Marlar. #howzat #
21:04 Yes let's plonk some 1979 music on the middle of 1977, hey? #howzat #
21:01 Brendon Julian as the channel 9 newsreader !?! #howzat #
21:01 Lachy Hulme as KFBP is brilliant so far. #howzat #
20:59 except for Rick McCosker sporting a mo in the dressing room when he didn't have one on the field when his jaw got busted. #howzat #
20:58 Must say the blend of actual Centenary Test footage with actors from the series is clever. #howzat #
20:53 @wombatlyons no but there's enough people who'll think it is #
20:51 Pity #Howzat didn't start with Packer missing out on the tennis TV rights, without which none of this would have happened. #
20:48 The actor playing Ian Chappell is the spitting image of Trevor Chappell. #howzat #
20:45 Five minutes in and I'm already giving up on any pretence of historical accuracy. #howzat #
20:43 Dunno how Hoges and Strop are watching live cricket from Old Trafford in Australia in broad daylight. #howzat #
18:40 Meanwhile here's some useful pre-reading from Reporters Without Borders on press freedom in Ecuador - http://t.co/IcEq1QFB #
18:33 Prominent international media tart to speak to media. Meanwhile let's have live rolling coverage of this empty London street. #
