I discovered I liked watching it during the 2012 London Olympics. I bought tickets for singles and doubles finals in Rio 2016. I've never played the sport though - hope to start with this new kit haha

Too bad you will be living in Australia before Rio 2016.

What do you mean?

So they reckon they got 47k to the test match yesterday. I was there the whole day, and if they got over 35k I'll remove by balls with a rusty spoon.
Entire top tier of eastern wing was almost completely empty, riverbank stand upper tiers only 2/3 full, and two chunks missing from ends of the grounds due to the sight screens. Even then, while it was quite full in other areas, it certainly wasn't completely packed in.

Hmmm slow learner.

SMA do not use conventional methods of counting.

I've got real plans of going to Australia already in motion - but not before Rio 2016 I'm afraid

Ever watched a game of Sepak takraw?
If not you should google it.

Never heard of it so I took your advice and just googled it. 5 seconds into a youtube video of the 2014 Asian Games final, it is my favourite sport ever

Perhaps for cricket matches they're allowed to include the army of SMA employees, contractors, media, police, paramedics, paramilitary, etc, etc

Go to the Cricket Discussion thread over on our black diamond forum ... lots of theories there on how 47k did happen

Old media gon' old media.

I find it hard not to pick up my phone during an elite sporting event/blockbuster film let alone lowering myself to halfwatch the utter faeces Channels 7 and 9 (does 10 still exist) churn out for the masses

 

[Grave Danger]

The Grave Danger lookalike from The Professionals tv show was in the running to take over from Moore in about 1980 as well

[bacharach]

What about that match, have you ever watched it?



I love the doubles game and this was a fantastic watch, recommended by a friend of mine who is a Badminton referee

Jesus. IMO Badminton wasn't meant to be played that good.

It's best suited for slow people with poor reflexes who don't like to run very far...me.

Grimshaw ads actually make me pine for the days of Leigh McClusky doin' laps of Adelaide to the sound of "She's a Lady"

 

[bacharach]

In this politically 'correct' age, do they play with a shuttlecoe?

Ha ha. Man the whole coe thing really does shit me. If you've got a **** in your name, be proud. I'd be shouting it from the fooftop. And the less letters around the **** the better.

All that football talent plus movie star looks I'd hate him if he didn't play for us

And one of those women is a Suns fan so I enjoyed mentioning what a top day Charlie Dixon had at the cricket yesterday too.
Comment wasn't welcomed but I enjoyed the dig.

Philadelphia 76ers have set a new record for major US sports. The now own the longest losing streak of 27 games. I can remember the good old days of the Magpies when a crisis meeting would be called if we lost 2 in a row.
