Froome had a bad crash when scoping out part of the Dauphine, apparently took his hands off the bars doing 37kmh to blow his nose in strong winds and had an almighty wipe out when wind took his front wheel away.
Broken leg, elbow, something else and possibly knocked out.
Worried right now for...
Just wondered if you blokes had seen Josh Kennedy on Today Tonight:
The reason I'm interested in it is that I sold the float pods to the guy in Perth where Josh goes to float and he was keeping me informed all last year how Josh was floating regularly and got into a routine of doing it the...
....that Buddy wasn't our leading goalkicker once we were more than a few games into the year?
I notice that Roughy has overtaken the great man to sit on 21 goals to Buddy's 20. Whilst I have no doubt that, barring injuries, Buddy will end up our leading goal kicker and probably for the comp...
I've always followed most sports but the Tour is something that I never really understood too well, over the last few years I've started taking an interest and have a built up a basic understanding of how it works, the tactics and some of the main portagonists.
I often read the comments on...
Some of you may not have heard the shock news that one of BFFC's favourite sons has been heartlessly delisted from the Crocs.
Those of us who have played against this lion hearted champion over the years will surely agree that the comp has lost something that can never be replaced.
Perhaps...
....washed up, tired, old hack of a left arm fast-medium bowler who will undoubtably undermine the captain's authority and cause disharmony amongst the team?
If so then don't contact me.
If on the other hand you want to recruit a bowler who is at the peak of his powers, is the all time leading...
Over here in England there's been a few newspaper articles saying that the WACA has got a lot of it's pace back, not to the extent it once had but significantly more than in recent years.
Anyone confirm how much truth is in this, obviously haven't got to see much of it myself to form an...

Read this article today, thought it gave a fairly balanced view of the last Test including the pitch.
He's old school & I think he put it in perspective & refreshingly gave credit to the modern player.
Also the line...
OK I've taken over the simming from Frodo, can't be bothered to post all the scorecards just edited highlights.
Allies v Tigers
Allies 685-4 dec
beat
Tigers 154 all out & following on 253 all out
borntigerfan 268
Ricketts 0
Catman163*
Carn Tgez 0/293
Dipper 8/45 & 7/93...
Ok that's 2 threads that I've put up now concerning Frodo that have been deleted.
The first was abusive fair enough the second was outlining points where he has been out of order & it just gets deleted.
Is this how we deal with dissent, just keep deleting the threads we don't like?
How...
That's the 5th minor premiership in 8 seasons for us & history shows that the Premiership has only been won twice by teams who didn't finish top after the H&A season.
Once we fell short the other time we took home the big one form third place.
We've got the big game experience to take out...
After a rousing comeback from the Allies led by yet another 10 wicket haul from bustling South Australian paceman Santos L Helper, Allies captain Dipper, universally considered the finest player in the history of the league declared:
'..Santos is the best bowler this comp has ever known, better...
Less than a week after pinpointing Queensland and Bengal Tigers as the Allies only rivals for the Test crown but at the same time making it clear that he didn't think that they were mentally tough enough to come through both teams have succumbed to heavy defeats after following on, whilst the...
Messiah Returns to Restore Sanity
They say that no player is bigger than the game and usually they are right but in the case of the BFFC league everyone knows that one man is the game.With his shadow permanently looming large over the history of the competition it seems that without him the...
Just wondered if anybody better qualified than me has any ideas as to underlying reasons behind the curent heavy injury list.
Is it just an unhappy coincidence or is there any sense that the pre-season training schedule combined with starting later than most clubs may have been partly...
With the deadline for squad submissions it became apparent that the 2009 BFFC season will kick off without the greatest batsman the competition has seen.
Allies opener Iceman has announced his retirement from the game.
The hard hitting former West Coast player has won more man of the match...
Alright here's our side for the first game on a bowler's deck.

Is it possible that we can have players as different player types in Tests as compared to one dayers for next season?
Clearly most people are going to remain the same in both but it would help if a couple can be a bit different.I'm not talking about pure batsmen becoming pure bowlers.
It'd...
Ok which of you pricks wants to stay around for a crack at the 2009 flag.
We've had a Barry Crocker in the Tests this year & if it makes you all feel better then I'll accept full responsibility.
Anyway we need to put things right next year, I'm pretty sure whatever happens that we'll take...
Well it's been a great ride but it's clear the comp is finished now.
Frodo has quit as a player & captain & I think we would all agree that the competition would be meaningless without his presence.
We may be able to survive my absence due to emotional breakdown but we cannot recover from...
Allies FC are delighted to announce the signing of former WSC allrounder Cassius Clay to supplement their already hugely talented squad.
In a move that will undoubtably both shock their rivals & cause further internal divisions in the brittle harmony in the Allies camp, Allies non playing...
Let me loose Kapow!!! I need to get some overs in my legs, preying on a bunch of newbies & never wases seems just the ticket.
This is the first step in my resurrection as a superstar fast bowler.It'll be the equivalent of Agassi going on the challenger tour.
...how come we had a self elected Commitee draft a whole set of rules for this coming season & 4 games in the leading light of said Commitee is now having a whinge about one of the rules that we have in place?
I know that the whole point of Commitees is that they can all avoid any individual...
Leading a BF side in this comp is a lonely business with lot's of pressure & only our fellow captains can truly understand the stresses & agonies that we endure, I myself despite leading our team to 3 wins out of 3 have come under the microscope due to my bowling average of 81 & I've been...
...the trophy now.
4 premierships out of 6, that's nice work for the powerhouse club.
And next season with Nananana Catman & Bill Lawry in, our bowling will be stronger & it's bowling that wins trophies.
Although our batting may not be as strong, depends whether BRG, Ricketts & Catman...
