Macca

Great nickname too ... Bison! Suits him to a T! He really smacks the ball He could make a big 100 tonight (mozz factor de-activated!) Nice hitout tonight prepping for the big SF against South Africa ... and the match will almost certainly be played next Thursday. With India to play NZ in the other SF on the Wednesday

Oaks day tomorrow and Zardozi ($3) will be hard to beat in the feature event Dangers might come from Basilinna, Aethelflaed & Amazonian Lass (all at value odds) Tropical Squall has claims as well

Recorded and now watching from 7-112 (Maxwell could have been out 3 times in the last 10 minutes!) Did listen to the broadcast throughout the night and fell asleep (again) when we needed 60 off 60 (or thereabouts) The innings is certainly one for the ages and high praise indeed from Sachin Tendulkar, describing the knock as the best he's seen at ODI level Edit: Just finished watching 'The Innings' ... truly amazing and when considering that his whole body was cramping, quite incredible!! I've never seen anything like it although there are parallels with the late Dean Jones' double century in Madras in 1986 Glenn Maxwell take a bow!

Beating England is always joyous! We're now playing some very good cricket with games against Afghanistan & Bangladesh to come India play South Africa tonight which should be a beauty. India look strong but anything can happen in white ball cricket ... it's a lot like a baseball game in that sense One bowler or one batsman gets hot and the game sways

Matilda's just a must watch these days. There's something magical about how they play and they're great to watch Holding on to the ball, winning it back, the precision passing and the creativity is tremendous The first goal to Mary Fowler tonight was a gem. Taiwan were very brave but the Matilda's are on a roll

Ha! We're all getting caught out on trap games ... but trap games aren't easily identified! The good news is that this week is there aren't any trap games but if anyone can come up with 3 road winners, they'll probably pick up a well deserved bonus point

If you like a good mystery/whodunnit I can recommend these 2 books 2 x TV mini-series based on the books are forthcoming The Woman in Cabin 10 The Couple Next Door

The race is on for the title! (my money is on City - ultra impressive against United yesterday) But any of the top 4 can win it Nov 6th Newcastle vs Arsenal Nov 7th Tottenham vs Chelsea Nov 13th Chelsea vs Man City Nov 25th Man City vs Liverpool Nov 27th Tottenham vs Aston Villa Dec 4th Man City vs Tottenham Dec 7th Aston Villa vs Man City Dec 10th Aston Villa vs Arsenal Dec 11th Tottenham vs Newcastle Dec 18th Liverpool vs Man Utd Dec 24th Liverpool vs Arsenal

Here's a movie that slipped past previously but upon watching the film the other night, it was well worth watching Nothing glitzy about it either. Just a story about an idealistic lawyer running for the senate in California. Redford plays his part superbly Looks like the movie is out in the public domain (at least for now)

NFL Preview Week 8

Chiefs Ravens Eagles

Maxwell 100 off 40 balls - incredible! Sets a new record ... power and clean hitting & reverse pull shots the highlights The Dutch were plucky and they fielded exceptionally well but they couldn't contain Warner & Maxie Assuming the Aussies go on to win the match, we should be able to set up a buffer (run rate & W/L record) in order to qualify for a SF berth

2 participants went pointless for the entire season last season and 1 of the 2 participants still hasn't got off the mark this year! Intolerable cruelty But said participant could get up and win it. You never know! And we had a 4 or 5 week stretch last season (around the same time frame as right now) where no one received a point It's a tough comp that gets tougher Still, everyone is within striking distance of leading the comp so there's that As for the Falcons, your division is down to 3 who can win it. Handy win against the Bucs on the weekend

Just got to get to the playoffs and then anything can happen. At this stage maybe the Chiefs/Eagles to get to the SB but there are any number of teams that can get on a roll. Home field may or may not be an advantage And there's bound to be a couple of teams get hot at the business end

Yeah, they're an extremely solid outfit playing very well. And how do the other teams stop the tush-push? Working a treat right now Eagles, Jags, KC, Lions, 49ers & the Ravens (?) are starting to create separation in their respective divisions But it's a long season and there's probably still 20 teams in contention for the playoffs (remembering that 14 teams contest the playoffs now) I'll have a go at the top 10 Eagles 49ers Chiefs Miami Jags Bills Ravens Lions Atlanta Dallas

NFL Week 7 Preview

Bills 49ers Washington

Must win #2 tonight Another big factor is we don't need a washed out match (only the 2 SF's & the Final have a reserve day)

England losing to Afghanistan might mean that whoever loses our match against England could be out of the tournament ... as it stands both us and England could miss the SF's anyway Also of note - no West Indies! How the once mighty have fallen

Yes, mentioned him in a prior post. But Fullarton might only play if we play 2 rucks or if Max is unavailable. Schache ends up being the spare We tend to see the best in a ruckman once they are the main man. Right now that is Max easily but we'll probably play 2 rucks in at least 4 or 5 games. Unless Fullarton cements a spot. And the seasons are getting longer for Max Not forgetting that JVR can also ruck occasionally (more so in the forward line) And he's not too bad at the caper - doesn't mind body contact
