Aussie Sports Thread - NRL, AFL or A League

Boxing Day test cricket & the start of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race are the usual choices on BD at my place after the customary Ham & eggs on the BBQ for breakfast. Oh & numerous swims in the pool.

What a knock by the youngster on his debut - he was living on the edge but he blunted Boomerah which a lot of more experienced heads haven't been able to do .. he must have been getting on the ham and eggs for breakfast too

Spot on . Incredible knock but especially in a test match on debut.

Strong winds for the fleet in the Syd- Hob too. Potentially a record being discussed.

Anyone see the collision in the BBL between two Syd Thunder fielders? Bancroft & Sam’s both left the field & taken to hospital. Horror collision

[peterbread]

Was it similar to Gillespie and Waugh? Both taken to hospital doesn’t sound good. Hopefully they’re both ok.

They’ve drafted 41 year old Dan Christianson in as a replacement I believe.

Brisbane Roar lose again. That’s 2 points from 11 games. They are going to break that old NZ team that was kicked out for the worst record aren’t they.

If anyone wants to know what bad owners are really like follow the roar and you’ll understand. Just gets worse and worse.

I think I saw that Zadkovich has a career win percentage of under 20%. I thought Grant Brebner was the worst coach the league had ever seen. From winning tittles and setting new standards for Australian football to this is so depressing.

And there’s no signs of life there either. Very disappointing to see.

So they’re winning the comp then. Doesn’t he have a crazy record for always being part of a winning T20 team?

[SB]

He certainly does. Looked his old self with bat & ball too. Hitting 6’s & taking wickets

FA Cup vs Accrington live on Optus Sports tonight at 1015pm.

Peter I know you’re looking for positives with the Roar & its 0-0 at HT with City

[peterbread]

Thanks. Only 1-0 this time. The time difference is doing me a favour right now.

Every time I look at their results and the stats they seem to have plenty of shots and possession but can’t do enough with it.

Looks a really competitive season at the moment. I’m a bit surprised to see CCM and Wellington drop right off. But if anyone gets on a run they could jump up the table easily.

There’s some decent young players coming through for the Roar seemingly. I watched the CCM Sydney match & 4-1 was harsh on CCM.

[peterbread]

Yeah they seem to be able to bring through players. Thomas Waddingham the latest but he’s off to Portsmouth. I might have to watch some Portsmouth games now.

Big bash is looking good this year, seems pretty bunched up on the table. And some big 200+ scores recently.

[SB]

Not sure if any of you saw the Big Bash last night. Fantastic match.

Brisbane Heat hit 201 in their 20 overs & The Hurricanes needed 1 run off the last ball to win & Matty Wade hit it for 6 to put them top of the table.
