...heard eunuch and Punic rhymed before. For the "Drift Away" bridge he conjures a lovely wistfulness - "Our tete-a-tetes, midnight duets, / Our breakfast tea and toast, / Funny how things that mean the least/ Are what we'll miss the most" - that approaches the pop poetry of Broadway's Golden Age lyric masters...
...Rivals have had good reason to be intimidated. While historians consider the present run to be the fifth golden era of Australian cricket, there's been nothing to match it for duration or the number of exceptional players it's spawned. Over this period greatness (or something close to it) has come in pairs; it has arisen in those apparently untouched and been replicated as if by decree.

My only critique is that the crust was a bit tough, a flaw that I was willing to overlook by virtue of its golden butteriness. My friend had a latte and a Whoopie cake: the classic chocolate cupcake filled with vanilla cream. I snuck a taste of the chocolate ganache frosting when he wasn’t looking and just about melted with joy. When I went back on Saturday afternoon to speak to Clark...
