Yes, too much money for nothing with t20. Has ruined a lot of players. Look at West Indies.Quote:

I'm so disappointed with the results of the Rio Olympic, three Gold from the Swim Team is just not good enough, where are all the stars ?
I still remember in the 2004 Game in Athens when Jodie Henry won 3 Golds , she swam in the 100 Free, Gold and World Record, in addition to her two anchor leg of the 4x100 free relay and the 4x100 medley relay, three finals, three Gold and three World Records, that's what we are talking about !
Where the bloody hell were our star swimmers ??
And four years later in Beijing, in came Stephanie Rice:
Again, Rice swam in three finals, 3 Gold and 3 World Records !
Those were the days when staying up late to watch the Olympics was so worthwhile !
It's all perspective. If you switched camp and cheer for USA, then it should have been rewarding.Quote:

what kind of Gold or Silver services are you talking about ??
Sorry I'm just making analogy of olympic medals with services from punting. I'm sure we all have gotten some better service than standard service.Quote:

May be he shouldn't be captain of all three forms of cricket, I think he should concentrate on Test only and at the most, Test and ODI, give up the T20 and wear less hats will do him a world of good.
How good is footy last weekend !!
Buddy hits form at the right time with 7 major. The Swans is the team to beat now for the AFL Flag.
And perhaps another all Queensland Grand Final in on the card again, I don't think any team can beat the Broncos and Cowboys last weekend - both away from home and beating a fellow top 4 team - GOLD !!
Go Queenslanders and Go Swannie !!
Anyone thought the sharkies would ve beat the Raiders ?
We're going all the way baby !
No not really, and certainly no one would give you a chance when the Raiders were 12-0 up and you lost Graham early, so for the Sharks to come back and win - Respect !!Quote:

First time ever in Rugby League history that a team has two players with 300 games experiences playing in the Finals !
Well done and congratulations to the Melbourne Storms, Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk on his 300th this Saturday !
Those guys would not be in same team if not getting cash under the table

This Grand Final weekend between the AFL and NRL is very fascinating:
4 teams left in the running, two teams from Melbourne and two teams from Sydney.
Sydney Swan is the minor premier of the AFL this season, going into it's third Grand Final in 5 years, 14 of the players on Saturday were in that 2014 losing team to the Hawks and they have waited two long years to seek redemption. Can they ? Apart from losing to the GWS in week one - which might be just the wake up calls they need, and if they can win on Saturday, they may have to thank the GWS to give them a kick up the back side ! The Swans was absolutely dominant vs the Crows and the Cats, those two final matches were probably won in the first quarter respectively. If the same Swans turn up on Saturday, they will win by 40+ and a good thing.
Bulldogs fans had waited long enough for their team to reach the GF again, and after they beat the Eagles in Perth, Hawks at the MCG and the GWS in Sydney, who is to say they can't do it again and have a fairy tale finish. Melbourne West would love to see the Dogs come up but can they win 4 sudden death "Grand Finals" in a row ? Probably not ! Unless the Swans collectively have a shocker, which is highly unlikely.
Speaking about fairy tales, I think the Sharks have a better chance in winning their first ever Premiership than the Dogs. They have, after all, finished the season in the third position and very luckily have no injury and can field a full roster on Sunday. and they can also match the Storms across the park, so I am very concerned that they might get up (I am going for the Storms obviously!) . And I have a feeling that if the Sharks do win, they will win big - like a 2-3 tries lead so that the Storms can not run them down. On the other hand, if the Storms get in front or if the game is in the balance 10 min to go, the Storms would probably get home with the very experienced Cam Smith and Cronk leading them to another Premiership. Last time the Storms get beaten in a Grand Final, Cam Smith was suspended !
With four teams left, will it be an all Sydney or all Melbourne finish ?
The bookies say Swans and Storms - so a Sydney team winning in Melbourne and a Melbourne team winning in Sydney !! And both are minor premiers in their respective code, so why not ?
or will it be a fairy tales weekend with the Dogs and Sharks both winning and create history ?
Yes, it will be an excellent weekend of sport, if the Swans and Storm win, I will collect a decent Premiership Double that I put on a while ago. I think it will be intense with genuine dislike between Cameron Smith and Paul Gallen. It is basically State of Origin. I don't care about the Sharks, especially with their recent history with drugs and I can't stand Fifita, I don't want to see him celebrate. Sharks could choke big time. Go Storm!!
In the AFL, I think it is a toss up, and as you alluded to Ahlungor, I hope the Swans don't forget the pain of when the Hawks beat them. The Bulldogs look bulletproof, like a really good team, they are comfortable leading or coming from behind. Hopefully Buddy will fire, he should be up for it!!!
I like everything you said up there brother !Quote:
