Do you remember back in 2020 during lockdown when there were quite a few whispers and vague news floating about Mitch and Alyssa's marriage and how they are separating/seperated which had since disappeared and wiped off internet which I saw when I tried to attach the news.. Is it only me who remembers that time? Cause seemingly everyone else has no recollection of that time which is just so weird 😶‍🌫️

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

Yes, Yes anon I remember. Murdoch gets so much hate for their shady media reporting but honestly Fox is just that much worse.

I do remember the Fox News reporting at that time, insinuating ever so slyly about deeper issues and each other's absences at some events/games meaning something more....

And gosh honestly, next year when the full picture came out was so infinitely worse. Mitch probably had one of his worst seasons cricketing wise in 2020 (love Warney so much, but what he was doing to Mitch that season honestly, just reduced so much respect for him in my eyes), I can only imagine the strict bio bubbles weren't helping anyone- to the point where I just remember one of his interviews with Mitch going "careers were getting shortened" (that was probably indication enough to what was going through his head) and then the sly reporting & insinuation that there was something wrong with the couple, all for it to come out next year, that Mitch had lost his father to cancer.

I cannot imagine the anguish of him going through seeing his father fighting cancer knowing he won't make it, bio bubbles and state restrictions making travelling impossible, Alyssa's own cricket schedule not helping and then one of his worst cricket seasons (which was honestly not THAT bad) and then being teared into the media by one of our greatest Warney and then to top it all of, have his marriage called into speculation, God Mitch had went through enough and he didn't even complained once!

Gosh anon, you really brought back so many memories and maybe I'll write a proper piece about it sometime if people are forgetting what our media houses are capable of doing to our athletes 😔

A lil clip of the trio+ The Goat chat with Mark Howard as promised to @hazlehoff

I'll try and post more of this interview, maybe even summarise, honestly fox geo-blocking this doesn't surprise me at all 😑

One of my favourite little anecdotes from this Ashes series, there's instances like these that just affirm that you've chosen the right people to like.

And the funny thing is it's not just this series or for the cameras or journos, I've seen first hand after WBBL games at NSO, after being on field for almost 40 overs, then obliging every signature and selfie requests and media duties, I've seen Alyssa on most days grabbing the bin and helping the volunteers with their clean up job and on occasions Mitch too, whenever he could attend.

These two have not just been absolutely phenomenal cricketers, they are even better people and role models and every time you get to see them, there's just nothing but respect for em'.

P.S. Advice to anyone who meets them, they are both polite people if a lil withdrawn (especially Mitch), but they are very big on manners and respect. Please and thank you's go a long way with them.

Was his sister ,taylah's account always public? I remember checking all relatives accounts when my Starc-Healy obsession first began, and it wasn't accessible then. But anyways it's public now and there's some adorable pictures of all of them in there. It's - taystarc on insta.

Mitch Starc as a reindeer is not what I thought I would see. I'd love to see them recreate it but I have a feeling Mitch said no.

Oh my gosh every parent can't help but click such goofy pics of their kids!

I've never followed Tay so I really can't help you there, but with how giggly Mitch is I can't really imagine him being all big brother and denying his siblings the photo, maybe Brendon? 🤞 We get a recreation of this at some stage considering all of the siblings live together again...

Also seeing Mitch with reindeer ears reminds me of this video -

Look at the babies, how fast time has gone 😭 They need to bring back these kinda videos!!!

You cannot honestly look at this and say DC isn't making Starcy's thirst traps at this point, I mean come on!

And it wasn't me who thought this first, my friend literally sent this to me screaming in the message going "LOOK IPL's MAKING STARC'S THIRST TRAP" 🤦

Decluttering the cabinets led to a trip down the memory lane.... Teenage me was obsessed with them on a different level, the era of baby Stealy 😍

So much love for this special person, hope she has an amazing birthday with that hubby of hers ❤️

Will miss you forever Midgy. You made me fall in love with the game all the way back in 2012 and I'm so glad I grew up watching you leading women's cricket to absolute heights.

Cricket will be a lot less fun without you.

Alyssa Healy's surprise for young cricket fan

The Australia star gave young fan Olivia a huge surprise by presenting her with a cricket kit following her letter to a merchandise company

Just when I thought I couldn’t love Alyssa even more…

[fraudcelona]

i do have a soft spot for male athletes who are married to female athletes. it's a low bar but knowing they actually sought out someone who has interests and a lifestyle in common with them is a green flag... i remember once seeing this cricket player asked for his all-time 11 and he was like "well my WIFE" and i'm 🥺🥺

[partybarty]
