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...

Thanks for the apology @Eve7, though it's not needed. I'm glad you're getting some help. I hope you can show yourself some compassion rather than shame, because you don't deserve that on top of what you're already feeling.

Hey @MDT @Zoe7 wasn't here last night but watched the game. I really enjoyed it. Always fiercely contested between those 2 teams!

Hope you are both ok today.

Hey All, hope you’ve had a good week,

We’ve had a cat join our family who, last night was mesmerised by the cricket on TV!

Dear cat chased the cricket ball running all around the big TV!!! So funny....and another cricket tragic in the family!

Re: All Things Sport...

Good on you @Eve7 for introducing your cat to the wonderful, intricate and at times baffling world of cricket. 🏏💕👍

It was good to see the Aussies with a big win in the World Cup last night. Enough to push them into second place in their pool and where they can hopefully remain until the end of the round robin stage, which will get them into the semi's. Have you been watching the WBBL matches these past few weeks? I've been catching most of the games.

Great pic @Emelia8

I haven’t been watching much of the cricket but S1 has watched a lot. I usually just watch the test matches.

S1 has tickets to the Brisbane test which his Dr says is ok for him to attend.

Hi there @Eve7 @Zoe7 @Emelia8 @frog @MDT @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @Former-Member @Paperdaisy and all sports lovers!

It's officially cricket season with the Ashes starting today at the Gabba - a great day by Pat Cummins and the Aussies! Tonight, it's Big Bash T20 style with the Hobart Hurricanes playing the Sydney Sixers in the first match with the Sixers in trouble at 4/26 in the 5th over. Go the Hurricanes! The Sixers were great on their opening match on Sunday night but obviously tonight they're in a bit of trouble. I'm a Hobart Hurricanes fan as I spent 6 years in Tassie at uni in Launceston in the early 2000s but I'm glad the Perth Scorchers won women's match! Oops- news flash on the BBL score- Dan Christian has just gotten out! Looks like the Sixers are officially in some major trouble at 5/39!

@Eve7 I read that your cat likes cricket! Great! That's a very classy cat! My Mitz has been watching the cricket at my sisters house when she has it on after work and my cat also doesn't mind the tennis which I also like watching.

Time to get back to watching the Hurricanes rule the Sixers! Enjoy your sports and don't forget to cheer loudly!

Re: All Things Sport...

My Sydney Sixers recovered from a bad start, set a half reasonable score ... then were good enough to defend the 144 they set. A good win to the men in magenta.

@Judi9877 @Zoe7 @Eve7 @MDT

Looking forward to day two of the Ashes Test tomorrow.
