...London household, with pompous father George Banks (Daniel Jenkins), mother Winifred (perennial Broadway luminary Rebecca Luker) and two rambunctious children, Jane and Michael (played by three pairs of kids); the hiring of the uncanny nanny Mary Poppins (Ashley Brown); the narration by Mary's friend, Bert the chimneysweep (Gavin Lee); the rooftop dance of Bert and his proletarian pals; and most of Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman's hit score. Eight of the Shermans' 14 songs (including "Chim Chim Cher-ee," "A Spoonful of Sugar," and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious") have been retained; George Stiles and Anthony Drewe expanded some of these...
...Australian Test wicket-takers of all time, four have played in the period since the Caribbean triumph of 1995, with Brett Lee poised to join Warne, McGrath, Craig McDermott and Jason Gillespie on the list. At times, fans have been too spoiled to appreciate how good they've had it. Most Australians would choose Dennis Lillee/Jeff Thomson as the country's best postwar pace pairing.

But the fact that Flintoff's gesture received so much attention suggests cricket fans are more familiar with displays of Australian triumphalism...
...revives memories of an Australian practice at the Sydney Cricket Ground in the late '90s, when two speedsters at opposite ends of their careers were operating in adjacent nets. Veteran Craig McDermott was bustling in as though he had a lead weight strapped to each thigh; a flowing Brett Lee, meanwhile, might have been mistaken for an Olympic sprinter. Though as cagey as ever, McGrath these days looks a lot like McDermott did. "You always think you have more to offer," Jeff Thomson said recently on the topic of McGrath and other ageing quicks. "Years after you retire you look...
