The coin toss signaled the start of what is sure to be a remarkable game. Some bright sparks had the idea to have a charity cricket match to raise money for the survivors of the tsunami tragedy. 24 cricket players from around the world have devoted their time and skills to this cause. 12 players from "Asia" - Pakistan, India, Bangledesh and Sri Lanka have joined 5 Australians, 3 New Zealanders, 3 West Indians and 1 English cricketer in a game that's unprecedented. The teams Rest of ...
See what'd I tell you - Australia won by an innings and 156 runs. Warne 4 wickets for 15 runs McGrath 3/19 Kasprowicz 1/21 Gillespie 2/19 Australia doesn't even get to bat again - it's all over on day 4 and the telecasting is due to start in Qld in 15 minutes -- but it's ALL over wonder what they'll put on instead
Day 4 of the first test between New Zealand and Australia. First Innings NZ were all out for 353, Australia were all out for 585 and now NZ trails by 162 - after 32 overs they've got 70 runs and 7 wickets - they have 3 wickets remaining and the telecasting doesn't start here in QLD until 2:30 - another 48minutes from now. I'm keeping up with it from Livescores -- I can't believe I'm mising this game it's amazing and soon it will be all over. I don't think NZ will make the target let alon...
I have never been so stressed watching an AFL game in my life. The Lions did infact beat the Cats but it wasn't as convincing as I was hoping BL (12-12-84) GC (10-15-75) Granted I'm only a new fan - I started watching mid-way through last year and I've watched almost every Lions game this year but oh my gosh my shoulders are so tense. We've got my brother-in-law over tonight - he and Nick are playing Neverwinter Nights -- on our dining table - I was screaming at the tv and getting very ...
This Saturday night will be an Amazing night for football fans - whether you like the NRL code or AFL - if you're a Qlder you're in for a treat. If you don't like eiher code - shame on you move interstate now (okay so I'm kidding) I had a look at the statistics - The one time this year the Lions played the Cats they lost 92-65 (but I'm sure they were missing key players) - Saturday night 6:30pm it will be on - Brisbane Lions verses their feline inferiors Geelong Cats. When the Lions...
I just don't understand the athletes who test positive to drugs. Particularly the ones who take a vitamin/herbal supplement or something and say - Oh I wasn't aware there was a banned substance in that. CHECK IT OUT Look if you're career is important to you surely you wouldn't jeopardise your chances of going further and possibly winning Olympic Gold by taking a cold & flu tablet with a banned substance. When I was pregnant I looked up everything -- I made sure there was nothing i...
Brisbane Lions defeat Western Bulldogs 136 - 68 Lions 20 16 136 Bulldogs 10 8 68 FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oy this is bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad Okay 2 minutes into it and Freddy takes out Matt Sing - he's out for Idon't know how long with a broken jaw! Wesser missed a try from the sideline when his foot touched the line. There were a coupleofmissed penaltys But the very worst thing is the score - I stopped watching at 28-8 it's now 34-8 and Nick's stopped watching too - he's put Prince of Persia back on - there's like 6minutes left and there's no way QLD can ...
Holy moly this is a weird game. It's half time the Blues lead 18-8 which sux majorly but our boys will bring it home. I'm not sure about this ref - especially that call he made when Minichiello held back Sing - I mean he so should have been sin binned for that and the ref didn't even go to the video ref - even the commentators were left wondering. And there's been SO many handling errors - on both sides - I don't know the exact stats cause Nick's playing Princeof Persia on the xbox ...
I don't know if you've played it before or if it has other names but it's this really cool game we used to play at gatherings. Ok you have a deck of cards and everyone is dealt a card - Count out the number of players (don't count the narrator and only have that amount of cards making sure that 2 of them - or more if there's ALOT of people are Jacks/Jokers for the Mafia and that at least on is a King/Ace as the detective --- just not the number cards. Then deal the cards to everyone but on...
What a GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We won 22 - 18 I'll go into details tomorrow -right now Nick's threatening to throw me over his shoulder again if I don't get off here and come to bed. But WHAT A GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO QUEENSLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tonight is a clash of the titans - state against state game 2 of 3 in the age old battle to decide which is better CANETOADS or cockroaches. This has been going since 1980 - out of 70 there've been 2 ties and 34 wins to Qld. We've taken the shield 12 times with consequetive wins (all 3 games out of 3) in 1988, 1989 and 1995. Tonight will be game 71 - and I'm very excited - watching it home alone with my husband tonight - no parties just the footy ...
that is to say QLD lost to NSW last night in the first Origin. Man it was a GOOD game - at half time the score was QLD 4-0 (Smith missed the conversion) then NSW got a try got the conversion and a penalty so the score was NSW 8-4 then QLD got another try but again Smithe missed the conversion so we're 8-8 (and there's the new golden point rule because you're no longer allowed to draw!) What a crock - so there's about 10minutes left and my house is buzzing there were 8 football FANATIC...
