Did any one watch the Cricket all Star on 99 this morning ??
Warney, Ponting, Hayden, Tendulkar, Lara, Laxman, Sangakkara, Kallis..... What a line up !
Congratulations to David Warner reaching 4,000 test runs this afternoon in Perth !
In 40 matches he is now average over 50 runs!
Well done mate !
Three consecutive test centuries in 3 Innings !
Davey Warner you're da man !
Records tumbling everywhere around David Warner, 244 no in one day's batting, hope he bats for two more sessions today before Captain Smith makes his third declarations this summer. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, first thing first, it's the triple centuries milestone which is quite attainable in the morning session.
Once Davey joins the 300 club, it's up to him to get pass all those great Aussie batsmen before him, Sir Don, Michael Clarke, Mark Taylor, Matthew Hayden !!
And if all the stars and orbits aligns, Brian Lara's 400 !
Go Davey Warner, make us proud !!:shout:
I'm not leaving my TV this afternoon..............haha
The Kiwis have mounted an almighty fight back!
Williamson another big century and Taylor is not looking like getting out at all, a double century against the fast Aussie attack at Waca ! Good on him !
Congratulations to Mitch Starc reaching 160.4 km yesterday afternoon with the second new ball but still, only two wickets!
This match is heading towards a draw, I thought after the first day my David Warner/Australia win double at $4.50 was a sure collect, now not so sure, but still two full days to go, if we can clean up the tails in the morning and put on 250 quick one, may be we can bowl the Kiwis out in 80 overs on the 5th day !
Go Aussie !
Sporting highlight of the weekend was Holly Holms KO of undefeated champion and overwhelming favourite Rhonda Rousey.
Maybe the whole celebrity and movie star thing has made her lose focus.
Anyway Rhonda is a tough girl and a true champ so I'm sure she will bounce back.

Yeah, what a turnoff ! I also think they have overdone it in Australia in promoting Ronda as a superstar that she held back a bit of fire in the first round, not as aggressive as she used to be !Quote:

Congratulations to Peter Senior in winning the Australian Master Golf in the young age of 56! The most senior winner of the tournament !
And he is 81-1 in this week's Australian Open ! Got to have something on him each way ! In case he goes back to back !
$2.88 for Jordan is way too short !
I believe she got what she deserved!Quote:

I used to really like Ronda but she let it all get to her head and believe her own hype.
She should do the Brock Lesner, take a good beating and go back to acting.
Holly is the real deal!

The Ronda hype train had crashed!
Bindi Irwin is doing really well at the American Dancing With The Stars !
I was just gonna say something about her, but then I realised that she is still only 17, so I better not !! :rolleyes:Quote:

Thr Baggy Greens and Black Caps will be putting the Pink ball to the test in the day night test at Adelaide ! It's great to see test cricket on prime time TV !
Will the batsmen continue to dominate the bowlers and making centuries and double tons left right and center ??
Lets hope the pink ball and day night thing means more wickets will fall.
Total dominance by the batsmen is getting boring.

Yeap, totally agree, how often when your team batted first and put 500+ on the board and Not winning the match !!
Let's see some wicket falling, give Mitchell Starc or Nathan Lyon a Fiver !! :shout:

I know the purists will whinge and whine about how "this isn't cricket"
But who gives a fuck about purists - as a wise man once said "only the impotent are pure"
The bowlers were clearly on top in Adelaide !
Good to see Hazelwood steps up in the absence of Johnson and then Starc and took 9 wickets in the match - 6 in the second inning which won us the match basically !
Also great that Peter Neville has now come out of the shadow of Haddin and did a Haddin style rescue with the bat for 66 which top scores for both teams in two innings when the Aussie was in deep trouble, and took 7 catches !
Lyon got a second life he didn't deserved and made the Kiwi pays with 34!
And my personal favourite moment was when Starc came out to bat after his injury and put 2 Sixes and 3 Fours, 24 off 15 balls and got to the lead !
I was waiting in great anticipation when he came out last night as no 8 and hoping he hit a big 4 or 6 to win the match but Siddle stole it !
Well, it's a very good team efforts !
Congratulations to Matt Jones winning the Australian Open yesterday !
Although my money was on Adam Scott $7.00 and Spieth $2.88 and at one stage both were co-leaders for the first time this tournament and big chance for a winning Sunday afternoon !
But you got to admire the mental toughness of Matt, he has a horror front nine, bogey , double bogey, in the water for a triple ! Most players would have faded away especially when you are playing with the world no 1.
I think that hole when he had a wayward shot into the woods , hit the tree then into the sand but chipped in to save par was the turning point and won him the title , if he would have dropped one more, I don't think he could still come back !
And how good to see Rod Pampling to shot a -10 and made up 14 shots from Jones and into the lead at the Club House !
Congratulations to Adam Voges scoring a 269 no out against the West Indies !!
I guess no one is gonna to take the no. 4 spot away from him now !!
And finally, Shane Marsh has delivered a 182 in the middle order !!
Australia, declared at 4/583 !!
and a couple of early wicket sees the WI are 2/66
Go Aussie !!

UFC results :
One to my liking : Luke Rockhold Def. Chris Weidman by TKO !
One I'm a bit disappointed : Conor Mcgregor KO Jose Aldo !!!
So much sports have come and gone and I didn't have a chance to update this thread, shame on me !!
Here are just a quick recap off the top of my head: (sorry in advance if I missed your sports!)
1. Michelle Payne won the Melbourne Cup.
2. David Warner won his first Allan Border Medal.
3. Serena Williams is beatable and congratulations to Angelique Kerber for winning her first grand slam.
4. And Novak has no peers in Grand Slams at the moment, winning the last 3 matches and beating Kei, Roger and Andy in 10 sets of tennis !!
5. NZ won the Rugby 7, yes, I think Sydney should keep this tournament a permanent fixture.
6. Parramatta won the Auckland Nines, the club's first major win since the 80's
