Doesn't help when you end up with SMarsh after 20 balls, and a fresh Ussie at the crease at the 40th over when you want to launch. Langer's gotta get the batting lineup right for the situation, and the types of players he has available.

Better teams would have killed us for not making 330+ in that innings.

My mate is a Bruins fan. I'm a Leafs fan. It'll be nice for him to feel what it's like to lose a game 7.

Boston sports fans deserve a few decades of heartbreak.

At least 5.

Finally got around to watching Narcos.

Elite show, I’m already hooked and I haven’t even finished the first episode.

Decent effort to get hooked on to coke after half an episode. It took me half a series.

With Starc, Cummins and Coulter-Nile in the side, do we even need an all-rounder. Just go for 5 bowlers (one being NCN). Maxwell is your handy 6th option.

Many would argue that NCN and even Cummins are genuine all-rounders anyway.

Yeah the girls. Jog on Brazil.

Love the replies to that tweet from the Americans bitching that Hope Solo got sanctioned by their governing body for publicly calling Sweden 'cowards' (among many previous indescretions which they conveniently forget), and Australia's all 'meh, whatever'.

It is truly the darkest timeline if people are offended that a soccer player has told critics to “go suck on it”

NBA game 6 is close... Raptors let it slip in Q3 again.

Klay out injured for rest of the game, Raptors in the box seat from here

Depends if Lowry turns to pudding again.

They're now in essentially the same position they were two days ago. Let's see if they've learned any lessons.

Up by 6 with 2 mins left, surely they got this

That's choke country.

1 point, possession, and 37 seconds.

 

[Agent93]

Excess timeout technical?

 

[Dazzler9]

So in 6 games, there was only one home court win. Amazing.

 

[kane249]

Excess timeout technical?

What does that even mean?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLEEEEEEEE!

Warriors tried to call a timeout with 0.9 seconds remaining when they didn’t have any timeouts to call, which results in a technical foul and possession going to the Raptors.

It was literally their only chance, the game was done, that way at least gave them a mathematical chance.

Yeah, just like Carlton is a mathematical chance for finals still.

Shout out to America, coming second in a national basketball competition.

 

[kane249]

And Fremantle is a mathematical chance to win a premiership one day also
