The Sport Spot - Comment here on what's happening in the world of Aussie sports!
Cute! I love the good company your son's baseball team is keeping.;D
I should have changed the order. the last report was the most important one. ;)
Oh No!! We lost the FIFA would cup bid to Qatar.:(
We weren't even in the contest, only 1 vote.
I work for one of the people involved in the bid process. There is going to be a lot of navel gazing and finger pointing.

Me thinks not. I haven't seen the actual video, only heard about it. By the time people make the decision all the shmuzzing has already been done. The video would not make any difference.

Thanks Mandy!! Dont think I'll take up the commentating position...hahahaha!!
What abandoning the post? You were doing so well at taking wickets.
Mod
Hey, Carmel, am I insulted about the Richie Benaud comment...I'm not quite that old..nor do I have that 'voice' hahaha..but I could take it as a compliment! Have to think on that one......
Mod
I think it's time to start talking about the weather. :(
Carmel what is wrong with Australian cricket? There just doesn't seem to be any young quality cricketers coming through. We don't want it to rain we want to grind those pommies into the dirt. It's torture in the reverse.
I'm adding my own dance to the mix. Maybe if we all join in we might get a result rain.

I'm ready. I played a season of womens cricket when I was 22. Just a few years ago *cough,cough*. I couldn't be any worse.

I play baseball now. I think we are in for sure Carmel.

I imagine there's going to be a lot of blood letting after this test.
*grabs a mallet* hrmmm! Maybe a good ol'conk on the head will do the trick..No rolling of the heads..Makes much mess to clean up :P
Does anyone have the stomach to tell me what has happened in the cricket? Or don't I want to know?
Has Ricky Ponting got the sack yet??

I think we are in the knock down and rebuilt phase. :P

I followed them like this last year, as we had a nephew sailing, and it's really interesting.
t is always a great weekend in sport when the Wallabies beat the Frogs. The scrum problems disappeared when Benn Robinson replaced Ben Alexander with James Slipper moving to the tighthead side. Berrick Barnes also stiffened the mid-field defence, and with James O’Connor kicking assuredly, Matt Gitteau may find it tough to get back into the starting side. With Digby Ioane to return (probably for Drew Mitchell), the Wallaby backline for the World Cup is taking shape.
Cricket
Cricket Australia has realised it is short of New South Welshmen and has added Doug the Rug, with Ryan Harris, to the squad for Adelaide. It is hard to imagine a result on the batting friendly surface, given the ineffective bowling attacks of both sides. It may be Marcus North’s last test. Being Ricky Ponting’s (golf) partner will not save him if he does not get any runs and the side doesn’t take 20 wickets. What may save him is that his main rivals, Smith and O’Keefe, both turn the ball the same way as the incumbent mainline spinner (Xavier Doherty) and his back up (Michael Clarke).
My 11yr Old sons State Cup Baseball Team
Bankstown defeated Ryde in the Little League State Cup Major Semi-Final 9-4. The clean-up hitting shortstop for Ryde made some good outs but flied out to centre field when a better result was needed. There was a talent scout from the Texas Rangers there. The big bucks cannot be far away.
