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...

Yes same here @Zoe7 😀

Did you see the match last night Nadal vs Theme? Was happy to see The Austrian win. I saw the match earlier today with Dylan Alcott playing in the quad wheelchair mens singles tennis. Those guys are amazing! Go Ash. 😀🎾

I saw a little of the game last night but was only in between doing things @Former-Member I was happy for Thiem to win - nice to have some 'fresh faces' in the finals - but would have been happy to see Nadal win as well - I do like him.

Missed Alcott's match but love to see him doing so well still. We have some wonderful Aussie ambassadors for the sport at the moment (and some not great ones also )

Re: All Things Sport...

Ohhhh Ash! So disappointed for Ash. She had set points in both sets, but lost them both. Although Kenin played really well, I thought Ash was totally off her game today. Serve was off, and heaps of uncharacteristic errors. @Zoe7

Oh well .. go Canes.

And I hope Federer beats Djokovic.

Re: All Things Sport...

Yes disappointing @Former-Member but she really did not play well. Kenin had all the answers and Ash just could not get into the game. She did well to get this far though - a semi-final of a grand slam is a pretty great effort.

I don't think my Canes will win tonight either but hoping it being a home match will lift them a little. It will come down to our bowling attack - I think they need to bowl them out to win and that is a tall order.

Hey @Zoe7 @Former-Member

Normally I would go for Djoko but I thi k Federer has bounced back a good deal. Underdogs always get my vote.

Shame about ash barty but I guess this is a sign of what she is made of. More to come I think

Will be watching tennis I think tonight.

Re: All Things Sport...

I actually don't care who wins the tennis tonight @MDT - both are champions but I will be going for Thiem to go all the way this year after his win last night.

Cricket for me tonight - go the Cane Train 👍

Re: All Things Sport...

@Former-Member I didn't watch your game last night but was super happy when I found out the result today. Your Sixers must have bowled so well to dismiss the Stars for 99 - now to the final ...I will be going for your Sixers Hon 👍

Watching tennis right now - Alcott is playing in the final - if he wins I think it is 6 in a row - such a champion either way.

Re: All Things Sport...

Hi @Zoe7 😀

Yes Im watching Dylan Alcott match too. Pretty dominant so far.

I was so disappointed in my Sixers last night when they only got 142 batting first. None of our batters could get going. Was resigned to a big loss. But yes, they bowled so well and just kept getting wickets. Including both Maxwell and Stoinis cheaply.

So its a home final for them now. Although in this form of cricket there really is no real home ground advantage. Franchises mean they come from everywhere. But its great for the fans to have home final. Just gotta wait another 2 matches to see who we play now. Strikers vs Thunder tonight, the winner to play Stars.

Re: All Things Sport...

I saw a little of the match last night as I dozed on and off before heading to be @Former-Member I thought the same as you - the Stars would chase down a small target easily but your guys must have bowled so well s0 I am really happy for you. What that does mean is if your batters can get going in the final they will be a formidable side to get over - I don't think it matters who you play - I think you can win it this year.

...and very much hoping for you that they do

Yes Alcott is all over Lapthorne but he has fought back this set - and good on him - would rather a tight match than a walkover.
