All Things Sport...

All Things Sport...

There are many threads dedicated to sharing experiences - good times and not so good - so I thought I would start a thread for those on here who love their sport. For me - and I suspect for some others - sport is a good distraction as it often blocks out the more negative emotions and helps to avoid triggers that many other things in 'life' so often seem to do.

This thread can also be a place where like-minded (and not so like-minded people @utopia @Former-Member @Zoe7 lol) can 'discuss/debate' their respective competitions in their preferred sport(s).

For those that are definitely NOT into sport @Phoenix_Rising for example - avoid this thread at all costs - whoops just tagged you in..........hahaha!!!!!

Re: All Things Sport...

Always @MDT

The cricket is always with me, just like the force

Re: All Things Sport...

Haha. The Force and cricket is with us @Scarecrowe

I am in the air con atm. But hopefully power doesn't kick out.

I'm getting angry at the TV saying the power will be out. This is why we need nuclear energy! So much power.

Anyway. Cricket was good today.

lol @MDT

Not nice when you are dealing with such heat. We have not got heat right now but woke up to smoke haze from local and victorian fires. went and got the washing in this morning and my throat knew about it for the next hour or so. Was not nice. Has just about gone now but has been extremely cloudy all day. Wind is picking up again though. But compared to what other people are dealing with right now, this is nothing. Poor things.

Yes the cricket was great today. So glad Marnus finally got his double ton after getting so close before. Did think that the Aussies would have gotten a wicket or two before stumps but was not too be. But they bowled well, was not easy for the kiwis.

Not happy that the big bash is not being shown on tv again tonight. And my team is playing tonight....ggggrrrr

Didn't go to the cricket @Scarecrowe but watched it on tv - disappointed with the result but we just weren't good enough on the night.

Re: All Things Sport...

I was keeping an eye out for you on the night just in case @Zoe7 lol

you are not the only one disappointed with their BB team..........

Just got home and saw the end of the tennis @Scarecrowe @Former-Member I love watching de Minaur play - he reminds me so much of Lleyton Hewitt ...runs and runs and fights for every single point ...great to see him win and for Australia to go top of their group as a result.

Have the test match on now so will watch that until it finishes whilst doing some other things at the same time. Then it is a late BBL game tonight for me as we play in Perth. It is on Foxtel so I will be able to watch it - and hope we do better than Friday night.

@Scarecrowe The Renegades are having a shocking season - not at all what I expected of them at all but still not quite half way through so if they win all of their last 8 games they could still make finals.

@Former-Member Your Sixers are doing okay though and should easily make the finals.

In response to: Re: All Things Sport...

Re: All Things Sport...

Hoping the Cane Train can steam ahead tonight @Zoe7

Yes my Renegades are having a real Barry Crocker, and like you I was not expecting that at all.

And agreed @Former-Member 's sixers are going along nicely. Should be a good game between them and the Strikers tonight, can't pick that one right now.

Haven't been watching the tennis, not a big lover of watching it but I do like to know who wins and who doesn't.

Hoping that you @Zoe7 and you @Former-Member and you @MDT are having a good day this Sunday.

Re: All Things Sport...

Been at my sister's for a couple of hours helping her pack and get things for the move @Scarecrowe Toby came for a trip to Bunnings with us - he loves being wheeled around in the trolley.

I love my tennis - one of my favourite sports. If it is a decision between test match cricket and tennis then tennis would usually win (especially if the Aussies are playing). Have the test match on now - hope our openers can stay in to stumps and put some runs on as well.

Being over run by 2 flies again this afternoon - not blowflies this time but they seem to want to annoy me all the same. Maybe the blowfly from the other day put out a call to these little buggers to come and annoy me ...little do they now that Mr.Spray is close by and if they do not follow my instructions and leave out the window or door then they will join their blowfly friend at the big feast in the sky ...entirely their choice lol
