The quality of that finish!

Nice of Port to please the children even if they couldn’t do the same for their fans

First weekend without lawn bowls commitments in god knows how long. As much as it is firmly under my skin (first season and I’m already running the club’s junior program), this is a moment of bliss

Not the first time Moore has been taken high recently

So, is that how Nguyen pronounces his name or can the commentators not be stuffed?

Commentators seem genuinely surprised that it’s easier to play well in a good team than a rubbish team

Whoever the crowd special comments dude is has been running through the classics tonight. We’ve had “he’s been doing it all night” and “you don’t get a free for dropping a mark”. Won’t be complete until he breaks out “chewy on your boot”, though #AFLSunsCats

Abbott joins the Billy Stanlake Club #BBL15

Love it how Smudge still looks at the pitch when he gets bowled by a full toss #BBL15

Shouldn’t be surprising how often rope-a-dope works against dopes, but here we are #Ashes

As brain dead a batting performance as you could see from the Strikers

Matt Wade under orders from CA to drop Marsh back into form

The comedy stylings of Matt Kuhnemann

Sydney Sixers’ bowling line-up for BBL1 was reasonable #BBL15

The “first over ball doesn’t swing” thing is very much a self fulfilling prophecy

Great work to start the game 5 minutes before a shadow moves across the pitch #BBL15

Just poor by Agar. Return on him chasing boundaries was 4 from 3. Return from knocking a single and leaving Turner the last two likely greater plus a century

Cricketers, like footballers, surprised when they don’t catch the ball in front of their shoulder

And they were worried about the Adelaide Test making the weekend! #Ashes

And Boland hasn’t bowled yet 😬

Half a day to go, so close!

At what point does Billings get done for dissent?

Yeah, Inglis not in the best 7 batters in Australia

Love how Trav is occupying his time working out how slow he can possibly run/walk each single without getting run out #Ashes

Love it how Stokes always looks like he’s been magically folded in half by the ball he misses through the gate

Glenn Maxwell is so naturally coordinated for someone who frequently gets injured in unlikely ways

International keepers will be practicing up to the stumps to pace in preparation for future England series

Geez, very glad for those neck protectors

Carey definitely gloved that one

Yeah, umps really can’t be having Devine chucking the ball into the ground like that

Man pulls a worldly and says “nice to contribute”

So happy to see Chelsea Randall back on the footy field. Wasn’t sure it was going to happen

Feel free to move the crowd mic away from the loudmouth Hawks fan abusing the umps for making correct calls

Yeah, not so much lawn bowls as swimming today

Exacta up to exacta down on the siren. Tipping is so much fun

It bothers me that they have attempted back to back rock/wok puns

Harris Andrews has been flawless today. One of the best backmen I’ve ever seen

Reckon you probably don’t need to comment on Starcevich’s career right now thanks Kane

Cameron’s arm is broken, hey

Brisbane kissed on the proverbial with father-sons. Build a great squad through sustained crapness and then gifted 3 very good midfielders on top

Incredible that, in a grand final, full-time professional footballers are assuming the ball went out

Love how much Rowell looks like he’d rather be anywhere else

Oh well, if you’re having a bad day, rest somewhat better in the warm embrace of knowing someone who goes for the Crows and the Raiders

My new kettle is excited by the grand final

The kick into the 50 😍

Hard to imagine many more consequential games played by a bloke north of 350

Nothing ruins a good “balll” call more than the player correctly disposing of the football immediately when they are legally tackled

Have very much become a goal umpiring nerd, enjoying the work of the left of screen ump (Sam Walsh I think), about to be right of screen. Great speed of switch!

Arm was pinned, Chol in big trouble

Found this abandoned on my lunchtime walk today. What sort of monster discards a thing of such beauty?
