Which is why sooooo many Australians come over on 2 year visas but stay, often illegally, for much longer.

Jason Terry, who has been a good starting 'combi' guard in the League for a while, proved he could be a very effective point guard. If Harris develops, and not being under huge pressure will help him, they have good options there. Possibly as strong a 2 PG set up as any in the League...

There is, of course, an issue of practice adjacent to the match pitch and on th square generally within the Laws. I think for Test matches the regualtions on this are stricter than for other cricket. If they behaved incorrectly to the Groundsman (heaven forfend) that is also an issue. BTW...

Australian bowlers used the wrong type of sweets. They used w(h)ine gums by mistake :eek:

If Bowden had given Kasper out LBW (as he should have done) when he was on 1 in that innings.........? Bowden watched the shot, not the ball.

I normally reside on Boards where to discussion is more informed and mature and the Australians less whiney.

Waah waah waah........ Every decison in the Test has gone against Australia..... waah waah. Absolute bollocks.

Will Ponting be allowed into The Oval for the last test? You're only allowed to take one bottle of wine into the ground each. He's producing waaayyyy more than that :D

The sports men and women of the World Will gather in LONDON WOOHOOO..... Come one, come all To the greatest show on earth.

Until this game Sanath couldn't buy a run for Somerset this season.

London has come from nowhere in the last two years while Paris have been bidding for the last two Games. The fact that Paris already had many facilities built might give them an advantage but the massive regeneration boost it would give to a large part of East London could be of great...

Graham was an excellent defensive fighter but had a glass jaw. It was very hard to get to but if you did........ Sambu Kalamby (sp) nailed him good. Laing was a drug taker on and off apparently but they were far from the only part of his failure to reach the top. He tended to disappear...

Eubank was also on of the best 'sellers' of a fight in recent times. Very few people sit on the fence on the subject of Cwiff.

Amusing how Aussies refer to Tszyu (a great fighter and, I suspect excellent person from what I've seen btw) who was born and raised in Russia and only moved in his early 20's as "Australian" Lennox Lewis who was born and raised in England, went out to Canada two years after his mother moved...

Jeff Fenech better than any British boxer of the last 20 years - don't make me laugh! I'll just throw in McGuigan, Honeyghan and Lewis.

In the Maxwell case I understand the League showed some sympathy noting the nature of the comments relating to his dead daughter. He also showed a degree of contrition afterwards. In this case: What would have a happened if Artest had left the drink thrower to the stadium authorities, as...

IMO neither Payton or Kidd are 'locks' for the Hall Of Fame. They may well get in but don't bet the house on it. Stockton will probably ask for his nomination to be held back until Malone is eligible. They should go in together.

Alan Knott was considerably better than Marsh, most notably standing up. For me Bob Taylor just shaded Knott.

I had the great pleasure of meeting his 'partner in crime' Ray Lindwall, along with Neil Harvey, some years ago. They were true gentlemen. When the subject of Keith Miller came up the smiles on their faces broadened. A wartime fighter pilot, a great cricketer and, so everyone says, a good...

Best track and field performance in the games. Just ahead of Kelly Holmes 800/1500 double. Two people who deeserved success.

The BBC booked her as an 'expert analyst' for the Atletics World Champioships in 2001. They dropped her like a red hot **** after that. She was awful, really awful.

Arch Where are you going to be based, are you a batsman/bowler/allrounder and what level do you play at in Oz?

His dad dropped it but Michael Vaughan's mum caught it. Maybe she should have been at silly mid-on Saturday morning :)

566/9 dec harmison hit Lawson for 4, 4, 6 in successive deliveries :)

I suspect Dallas will go for Dampier or Blount to give better defensive grunt at centre. They should ship Stackhouse as well. he's a poison.

Good egg Mr Bol. Does a lot for the disadvantaged in Sudan. Hope he's ok.

Shaq says he won'y play under any coach but Jackson. Shaq is having more and more trouble keeping his weight below that of the average rhino. If Jackson retires, Shaq could easily as well. What if Kobe's 'unavailable'?

I don't think the Pistons will repeat but if they hold the squad pretty well intact and give Darko two years of development they might be hard to stop in 2006. Next year, I'll say the T'Wolves. With the Lakers high in the lottery based around a starting five of: Fisher Rush George...

He was doing stand up in Reading, England over ten years ago. A friend of mine who lived there said he was by far the worst element of the Reading comedy scene (and you can guess how bad that is. He was rubbish then and, in my view, hasn't improved.

And there were some turned down earlier in the game that should have been given. The comment on taking into account the volume and confidence of the appeal is laughable.
