There's a fair bit of coverage in today's Sunday Mail of Greg Rowell's campaign launch. He's up against it, with polling showing that Campbell Newman's approval rating up around 70%.

Of course everyone knows that in his former life, Rowell was a first class cricketer. Thanks to reader Allan, I was led to to look up his stats. Graphic links to his cricinfo page - Allan asks, "can we trust a fast bowler who averaged over 30?" But we can also ask a more important question: who knew he was born in New South Wales?!?
