West is best.

Western Sydney Thunder send the Eastern Suburbs Sixers home.

Davey is going to lead us to the Promised Land.

WTF has Tom Andrews come through btw.
Sorry bud it’s the team that wears purple that will win and claim their first title on Monday….

And it will become an omen for the other team in purple to also claim their maiden title on the last Saturday in September 😉

A real feel good result in the ladies singles at the Australian Open with Madison Keys taking her first major at the age of 29. Keys was ranked No 19 in the draw.

It was a match that swung both ways and either player could have taken the third set.

Hopefully Freo can emulate Keys and win the title against the odds in 2025

If the thunder are going to lose to anyone I am fine with Hurricanes actually.

It will mean the Stars are the only side that hasn't won it haha.

And Hurricanes have been the best team all year.

Chris Green batting at 6 I don't think Thunder have enough available batting stocks to challenge.
 


Seriously what is Flower whinging about its out 100%.

Do English cricketers deadset have no idea what a crease is.

And while we're on English cricket the women's coach believes Bondi beach is the reason why we produce superior athletes.

Lol that's a new one from the whingers


Wow,100% out and complete stupidity from the batsman

Lol, like it's our fault they're allergic to water.

The whingeing pom stereotype is getting an absolute workout from their cricket circles lately.

Tbf it’s all rounders down to no.9. Wouldn’t trust them to dig in and build a partnership if needed but if Green is coming in post the 12th over (which is likely) no. 6 to no.9 can swing the bat quite well

I have for the first time this year watched some tennis from the AO.
The broadcasters, CH( have been under constant criticism from the public and media out lets over horrendous interviews.
But surely today thay took the cake.
The presentation for the Womens doubles was going really well... I think. All the right things were said and one... I think. The runners up were presented with their trophies and given time to make a speech.All good.
The the winners werre presented with their well earned trophy.But, surprise, surprise, they took the homour away from them by going to two talking female heads and Tony Jones.All they did was talk about what they had been talking about for hours, a rehash ot he rehash.
Shot yourself in the foot again CH9
 
9Now pissing me off as i have no sound for the AO mens final.

Looks like Sinner is too strong on his first serve and Glenn McGrath - like in his general shot accuracy.
Elephant in the room is the worlds best player could well be suspended for a year in April from tennis for a doping violation yet I haven’t heard channel 9 mention it once in the last 2 weeks.

I wasn't aware of that. Just looked it up. Surprised the testing wouldn't easily tell the difference between cross contamination (which must be minute traces) and a potential performance enhancing dosage, although it seems WADA are appealing the way the law was applied, rather than claiming any intent to gain an advantage.

I had one back in the day where I'm still not sure if I was stupid or very hard done by (actually I lie, I'm still adamant I was hard done by).

My batting partner hit it and we ran a single. The throw coming in hit him and started to roll down the pitch towards me. Thinking the ball was dead in gentleman terms because it had come off my teammate, I took a step out of my crease to stop it with my bat for the keeper to pick up, only for the sneaky little w***er to run around me, pick it up, and throw down the stumps.

He appealed and my teammate umpiring had to give it out. The keeper also happened to be the captain so I asked him if he really wanted to claim that as a genuine appeal, and apparently he did. I bet he would have been the first to complain if we tried to run another off a ricochet off my teammate though.

Was I the idiot or him? I vote him.

Oh he's the idiot.

Also stay in your crease mate.

ABKC = Anyone but Kansas City. Seen enough of them and feel like it's time for someone else to win Superbowl LIX

That was an emphatic win by Philly.
