Mav. Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Mostly the russian ones, lol. It's funny how most have them have little connections with Russia. Sharapova had lived in America since she was 6, Safin is originally from Kazakhstan and Davydenko was born in Ukraine. Oh well, they chose to represent Russia, and look at 'em now; one of the best teams in world tennis. Of course, Serbia is much, much better than Russia. And Australia, for that matter. I hate Hewitt. Yeah, I was actually talking about all the hot girls. But you know, Safin and Davydenko go alright too, I guess . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was actually talking about all the hot girls. But you know, Safin and Davydenko go alright too, I guess . I was surprised as to how big Safin is, and how athletic Davydenko is. Watching Safin at Kooyong, he looked tall on court. But when he was signing my autograph book, he's like a giant! Davydenko didn't sign my aurtograph book, but he looks pumped; like Asafa Powell. Muscly. As for Roddick, he's actually quite 'chubby'. Oh no, wait...I think they call it 'big boned' nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav. Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Sorry boys, the Victory are officially, mathematically and all, out of the finals race. haha, oh well. We scored 15 times in our first 17 games. Yet in our last 3, we score 10. Too little, too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan. Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Anyone been watching the beach cricket? haha, i love it, watching top ex-cricketers relaxed playing, good stuff. I watch it sometimes, when nothing else is on. Of course, with the tennis on, there's always something better than beach cricket. Great to see Molik make it through 7-6 7-5 against her Estonian performance. Jelena was pushed to the limits against Tamira Paszek, yet she made it through. Right now, Viktor Troicki is doing good by holding Nadal at bay; 3-2 in the first set to the towering Serb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transparanoia Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Speaking of cricket, I think this is worth a post. MEDIA RELEASE From the International Cricket Council For immediate release Malcolm Speed has this morning announced several changes to the playing conditions for the forthcoming 3rd test in Perth between Australia and India. These changes include: * India must win. * The umpires shall be nominated by the Indian team. It will be acceptable if reserve Indian players rotate as umpires. * During the game all appeals shall be referred to the Indian management team and the Indian media contingent prior to any decision being made. (This includes where an Indian player may appear to the naked eye that they have been bowled.) * When the Indian team is batting the boundary rope shall be moved inwards 20 metres. * Australian bowlers shall bowl under arm. * India must win. * Any time Ricky Ponting is on the field he shall be restrained in a full length strait jacket and muzzled. * Any Australian spin bowler must advise the batsman in advance what type of delivery is going to be bowled. * At any time Andrew Symonds is on the field he must wear a gorilla suit and accept any sledging in the light hearted manner that this is intended. * India must win. * Harbhajan Singh will be cleared on appeal and be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. * Indian batsman may be permitted to use larger bats. * Australian batsmen may use a bat every fifth over. * Australian fieldsman should praise every batting attempt by the Indians by saying "Good shot chaps." Apart from this Australian players are not permitted to speak. * During the lunch and tea break both teams shall get together and have a cup of tea. * India must win. The ICC and the BCCI hope that all Australians will understand these minor changes are intended in the best interest of the game. The ICC would also like to announce that Steve Bucknor has been appointed as the ICC's new cricketing ambassador to Kazakhstan. The ICC wishes Steve all the best in this important, newly created role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan. Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Australia isn't a race. Do you even know what racism means? You obviously do not. It means discrimination against a particular race, ethnic group, religoun, or nationa. Australia is a nation. And no, it is not racist. The reason there is a topic about Australian sports is because a lot of sports in Australia are played only in Australia. And, why do you not stop bitching and just make a British sports topic, if you are so peeved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't called RACism for no reason. Like kingzing said, Australia isn't a race. So it's not racist. Discriminative maybe, but not racist. Btw, @ the tw*t having a cry - The AST is just another title for the 'Cricket, A-League and AFL' topic. Much like the EPL, NFL, Wrestling topics. Douche.

Well, off to the tennis today. We were aiming at an 11 start, but my dad had another late night, so we will be trying to get there between 1 and 1:30. Nonetheless, our home is only 20 km's from the city, so not much will be lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm back, tennis was awesome, and sorry we didn't get to catch up folks. On Wednesday saw Henin, Nadal and Molik; and on Thursday saw Kuznetsova, Federer and Hewitt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Wednesday saw Henin, Nadal and Molik; and on Thursday saw Kuznetsova, Federer and Hewitt. Man, all that Rod Laver crap. There were much more exciting games, friend. We watched Tipsarevic vs.Verdasco, Jankovic/Mellak vs.Safina/Dechy, Lisicki vs. Kuryttseva, Ivanovic vs. Garbin (Serbia! ) and Safin vs. Baghdatis.

Stefan. Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 So close man. You only missed out on goal difference. I think Newcastle are a better side than Central Coast; the Mariners had a very strong start to the season, but have been slacking off recently. We even beat them.

kingzing Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I read in the paper that even if Newcastle or the Central Coast qualified in first place the grand final won't be hosted at Energy Australia or Blue Tongue, despite the first-placers of previous years being allowed to host the final. Pfft to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be beneficial for anyone involved to build a new stadium in Canberra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
