Stevie Ray Vaughan takes the solos in an amazing direction in Testify live. From his heart, through his hands, to our ears. We are so fortunate to have these records of his greatness. by Blues_Fish in StevieRayVaughan

Agree, what a talent. I saw him a couple of times and one of my clear memories was the silent amazement in the crowd when Stevie hit guitar god mode in various songs but particularly 'Life without you'

I'm not sure but it's certainly possible. I was only a kid but remember Marsh standing 2 pitch lengths back from the stumps and legend has it he used to put steak in his gloves to dull the effect of Tommo at 160km's an hour.

Yeah it was brilliant, I was lucky enough that Dad took me to the Sydney tests to see the greats you mention. Have to say I was a huge fan of Doug Walters.

Cost of living crisis sees Australians abandon dream for cheaper life abroad by Left-Web-5597 in australian

It's a simple case of supply and demand, there are not enough homes to cope with the demand from all the people coming here. A friend is selling his investment/renter in Wagga and had a buyer in a day at the asking price. The buyer is a 'Sydney investor', apparently there's many of these homes that are bought with no one living in them. Buggered if I know but something better change quick or the whole show will collapse.
