The Matilda's need to tighten up their defence if they are gonna go far in this tournament.Quote:

Jamaica tore the defence apart but just lacked the final finish.
Norway will test them.
If Finch, Warner and Smith can maintain their forms towards the semi finals and no injuries to the bowlers, we can win this !Quote:

Yeah, I only watched the highlights and the right hand attack from the Jamaican girls had tested our side in the second half, could be a lot tighter if they had better finishes.Quote:

Ps. BTW, every time they play, I put $20 on Sammy scoring the first goal ! Very happy 😊
Love your optimism brother. If only Finch, Warner and Smith could all fire in the same game, the way Englands top order doQuote:

India, England and Australia can all win the World Cup. Too close to call
Gut feel says England but Australia may be steadily building towards the finals
Looking forward to the new look NSW Blues carving up Queensland. Good idea to drop Latrel Mitchell. Nothing personal, but NSW cant afford any spectators who go AWOL during games, against a Qld side who are always hungry for a win
Mate, I admire your optimism on the NSW Blues this year but I think the Maroons will win in Perth and wrap up the series in Perth.Quote:

It was straight after Corey Oakes’s disallowed first try that Morris scored. Then you guys all saw what happened in the second half when they tidy up a few things.
Well, only time will tell if Freddy is a genius in selection or it would bite him for panicking.
Personally I would have given Mitchell one more game to redeem himself who played a lot better on Sunday and scored two tries . He would have played 4 games with Carr on the left vs now they have another brand new combination with the Carr-Jack pairing and Wighton is playing out of position too.
Don’t understand why they dropped Morris either? I agree Tommy Jet should be brought back but he can play on the wing to replace Nick - anyway, I’m just happy that the Maroons back lines are settled and firing !
Go Queenslanders!
As much as I love to see Ash Barty winning the French Open and her first personal grand slam victory but on a national scale it wasn’t as significant as the America's Cup - as many Aussie great ladies had won the French many times before. It would have been way behind Adam Scott’s winning the Master and wearing the Green jacket- first ever Australian player to achieve that !Quote:

Australia is absolutely destroying Bangladesh in the cricket.
Finch, Warner, Karwajah, Maxwell all on fire!
I know Bangladesh is a Third World shit hole but even so this is an absolute smashing!
They might be from the third world but they are very competitive in the World Cup!Quote:

Rain delay !
Even though we have 350+ on the board, they could still steal this under the DWL methods for a shortened inning and went crazy early to have a higher run rate ! No ??
It’s Frankie Dettori Day at the Royal Ascot !
Won the first 4 races including the 4,000M Gold Cup on Stradivarius for the second year in a row !
I put $1.00 on him winning all 6 races on the card @$92,685.94 !
Four down two to go! Stay put and go for the big bucks or cash out now ?
The final two legs are at $13.00 in a field of 29 horses (more runners than the Melbourne Cup) & $9.00 respectively........
Hi fellows punters,
Was wondering if anyone can share some of the nrl off season sex videos?
Cheers
The Aussie cricket team is in fine form, first it was Finchy now Warner scoring 150+, even Khawaja is up there at the 80+, Maxwell smashing them at 300+ run rate and Smith, well, Smith will be there about when needed !
We can win this !!
Ash is now in the semi finals at Birmingham. If she wins she will be the new World no. 1 !!Quote:

Down one player, so many calls went against us and Sam Kerr missed the first penalty so badly! It’s not our night .
Ash Barty now in the final and could be the new world no 1 if she can win in Birmingham tonight !
Go Ash !
Congratulations to the Blues ! Simply too good in the West & the Wet !!
Now we have a decider !
While I hate to admitted it, can't really see how the Maroons can turn the table in Sydney ?? The Blues forwards were too big and too strong in Perth and they might even have Klemmer back too, we need two more genuine starting Props for Queensland, where to find them ??
What a night for Aussie girls to do us proud overseas !!
Apart from Ash Barty rising to be the World No. 1 in nearly 5 decade, we now have another LPGA Golf Major Champion, our first since Karrie Webb back many years ago.
Congratulations to Hannah Green who won the Women's PGA Championship yesterday !
Bring on the Wimbledon and the Women's Ashes !!
England press were saying pretournament that the England cricket team were the favourites.
Like in NRL, you have to lose a GF before you can win one.
Beneath the hype, if UK press had checked, the truth is that England havent beaten Australia or India at a World Cup tournament match for over 20 years.
The last time England were in the World Cup final also must be over 20 years ago.
Even have an Australian coach this year.
Who are the favourites now England
Not when our two lefties quicks combined to take 9 wickets this morning !!Quote:
