Watched conclusion on the replay last night. What and the hell was Watson doing in that second last over ? I think there were four rank full tosses outside wide outside off stump ! If he was trying across the seam deliveries, he needs to go back to the drawing board.

Boo. QueenC - Brett Lee is hitting his straps. Very impressive for NSW (even though it's Twenty20), and backed it up again for Australia against India. Showing plenty of pace and it goes well for a good showing for the Australian Summer. You must be beside yourself.

That's the spirit two sheds. Great to hear you're feeling terrific. All the best.

NSW joins VICS in Twenty20 semi finals

What about the boy from the Vics, is it John Holland ? Is he a chance this Summer ?

Unless they thought the rest of his year was just 'exceptional.'

That would explain it then.

Agree. Well it is all well and good if we do win. It's still a hollow feeling losing the Ashes IMO. No one will give a sh!t in a year's time about the Champions Trophy it would seem, however history will show we lost the Ashes. M.Johnson winning the cricketer of the year (ICC)......anyone see the Ashes when voting?

Congratulations to Mitchell Johnson - ICC Cricketer of the year.

Yes, well summed up regarding the mental side of things for her game. That was my thoughts too. Other jobs and activities with her child off the court and fun and focus on the court. Agree with the 'pressure' side of things.

Well said Titan & Queen C. I'm wrapt for Kim Clijsters in winning the 2009 US Open. Thorougly deserved her win and was in the best form at the tournament. Great to see her 18 month old join her. I think she can continue on and do well at the next Grand Slam event - the Aussie Open. I'm probably out of my league in saying this, but being a mum may just help her game. Congratulations Kim. The Williams sisters could also take a leaf out of Kim's book relating to on court manners.

Dee-lightful win by Man U over Spurs...'away too'..........

They're appealing (Chelsea that is). Was the ban 3 transfer windows...or 2? In other news Lucas Neill is reportedly leaving for Spain......Madrid I believe (SEN - this morning). Probably for the warmer weather.... GG, any news of this (re: Neill) over there?

Really? what happened?....

I thought Benitez did a solid job last year, just too many draws for the reds.

I take it you don't like the Liverpool condemned...... PS. *disgraceful*

Cool customer? He lost the plot. Temper tantrum at the very least after seeing one of his forwards being called off-side. (He was off-side by a country mile). Yes anything can happen in a EPL season. First points go to Man U.

Man U 2 Arsenal 1 And to make things interesting Arsene Venger sent off after kicking a water bottle after an off side.

Two sheds jackson, sincerely I can't believe that you're going through all of this at just 23. Shocked. I've enjoyed reading all of your posts and I hope to read many, many more. You give well balanced and very articulate views IMO. I enjoy reading them. May you draw some inspiration from our MFC President Jim Stynes and his own personal battle, and fight it, don't wait for the inevitable. It's taken great courage to share your thoughts, your personal battle. Now you have got that off your chest, you now know where to channel your courage and energy.

You're kidding yourself...what has the Gunners quietly achieved lately? Man U & Chelsea have left Arsenal in their wake the last few years.

Saw that goal last night. Great goal threaded between about 3-4 defenders. The pass to him on the lead wasn't that good, but his touch was deft and he created the goal out of nothing. Weak defence all the same.

Doing ok Spurs. As for Man Utd Burnley won 1-0. Something tells me this season will be a different outcome.....for once

:D Thanks guys.

I thought the Spurs strip was ok. Stoked about Cahill I bet. But not with the 6-1 thumping at the hands of the Gunners. Man U over Birmingham, just 1-0. Yeah, not sure about Owen. Will score a few, but I wonder if he'll be able to hold up for the entire season. I think Chelsea, and the Gunners are off to a flyer. How was Drogba's chip goal. Awesome. Will be interesting to see how Man City go with all their buys. They look a bit weak down back at the moment.
