Red Socks gone

I couldn’t believe what I read!!!!How on earth has this happened??They just couldn’t score runs.
Yaaa!!,its made for the Yankees now!!!!

All Whites

Well 0-0,is it a good result. Generally I think it is,as it keeps us well alive.But a away goal would have been a real bonus.
So now everyone get to the Caketin!!!!The biggest sporting event of 2009??
Ryan Nelson for sportsman of the year,I’m going to start the call now!!!!

Have a bet!!!!

Just to show I will cover all sports on here.Have a fixed odds $5 bet on the Melbourne Cup. Take Kirklees at $31,and win over $150!!!!
You read it on All Things Sport!!!!

Great win by the Breakers without Penney

The Breakers beat the Melbourne Tigers 79-74,after being down 30-39 at HT.
The second half performance was terrific,after a very disappionting first half.
It will give them confidence,after winning without Penney.
They are now 2-2,but need to win on the road.

10 blackcap no’s

1.Why are there so many injuries=4.??Why so many in NZ sport??6 All Blacks were missing.Football,basketball,netball..why??
2.Khan gets looked at by the ICC,why not McCullum for their dropped catches.Asia bashing??
3.Is Oram finished??
4.Would McCullum be better than Patel for One Day games??
5.Should McCullum bat at 1 or 7??
6.Why is Franklin never permanent??
7.Tuffey only play tests,in Mills place??Tuffey,Bond,Franklin.
8.Is Mills underated in NZ as a oneday bowler??Yet he is no1 in the World.
9.Does Vettori now have to much power??
10.And why do selectors not coach,as in rugby,football??

McCullum

Should McCullum be opening or batting at 6 or 7.Tony Blain says he should stay opening.You can listen to him,with Brendan Telfer,on Radio Sport.
Its a tricky one.I can see the merit in both.With Vettori,Elliott,Broome is he really needed at 6 or 7??

Bartlett

You will all be following the NZ 11 on cricketinfo.What no Bartlett to pick.Its just plain crazy.The 3 bowlers would be Hadlee,Motz and Bartlett.I hate the way older players in any sport are treated worse than more recent players.He may have played only 10 tests,but we didnt play alot of tests then and when he did every batsman feared him.Ask the South Africians in 1961/62.Johnh Reid always has said ‘he is the first player I would select in any team’.

Aussies just to good.

Yes they were just to good.So many things I could say,but thought would make a list 1 to 10 and then get your comments.I’ll do that later in the week.
Even though I’m sad,at least we did make the final.
Great to see Bond and Mills bowl so well,20-4-61-4.And we have to wonder what would have happened if Vettori was there to bowl at about 2 for 30.
As for the injuries,why in NZ sporting teams.More on this later!!!

Rio gets Olympics

What a shock.Chicago was so confident it would win.
But its great,as USA have had it 8 times, Brazil 0!!!So it is their turn.
What a place to go.They are saying it has high crime.Yer right,worse than Chicago!!!

Storm to good again

The Storm were just to finals experienced for the Eels.But the Eels contributed to a fast,open game of league.I felt it was up there with the best finals.
Slater had a very good game,but man of the match.Cameron Smith,who handled the ball 95 times, was the key.
The two referee system was at its best.Very little whistle a major factor in the spead of the game.
The TV coverage was awesome,especially with wide lenses going in and out.
And a final word for Daniel Anderson.He has taken a average 08 team,to a new level.And they will be even tougher next year.
