The problem of being number one (not that I know from experience) is that there’s only one way to go.
The Aussie cricketers finally came face to face with reality with a 1-4 hiding at the hands of the Yarpies in the ODI series that finished last night.
And the Yarpies didn’t really fancy themselves at the [...]

It’s a bit of a worry when the rationale for a post is the pun in the title but I will persist anyway.
Actually, the real reason for posting about the tennis is a couple of great quotes I’ve flogged from the Herald.
Serena Williams has bulldozed her way into the wome’s final of the Aussie Open [...]

I posted earlier about Tana’s Toulon Torment. (That’s just an excuse to repeat the tacky allileration but it’s got a ring to it!)
Anyway, that post is the most read post EVER (yep, more than 2 reads!!!)
And believe it or not, someone actually responded who wasn’t trying to spam me or sell me pharmaceuticals I can’t [...]

To all of those Yellow Fever supporters out there, sorry to disappoint you.
On second thoughts, you mightn’t be disappointed after all.
Yes, he scored. And no, we’re not talking Shane Smeltz.
Apparently, 27-year-old Croatian footballer Dino Drpic had a rumpy pumpy fantasy to do the wild thing in the middle of the pitch at night. And he’s [...]

Someone, these people infer at the very least that we are somehow backward [...]

It’s the weekend, so just like the hack media, here’s a potted review to show I wasn’t asleep the whole time.
$onny Bill Williams’ future is apparently in jeopardy. So why would he be appearing in a game show?? OK, seriously folks (both of you), no shock, no horror, no probe.
Tana’s almost gone and if as [...]

I posted a couple of days ago about The Crowd Goes Wild … which prompted me to find this classic. Enjoy!
TCGW – Shortland St

The Wellington Cup will be run later today.
It used to be (past tense) one of NZ’s top races. More accurately, it was – like the Melbourne Cup – a two mile test of the top stayers in NZ.
Horses like Kiwi and Castletown (three times no less) forged their reputations in the race.
Sadly, the calibre of [...]

When I can, I try to watch The Crowd Goes Wild – 30 minutes of sports beats Shorty St any time – except when TCGW does Shorty St (coming soon!).
Now I could say lots of positive things about the programme but not after Rigor questioned the merit of sports blogging. (That Paul Moor IS funny [...]

Just when you thought you’d heard the last of rotation, along comes Punter saying that he doesn’t believe the Aussie cricket team can put their best team on the park every time over the next couple of years.
Sounds like rotation to me!
“I think the players, Cricket Australia and the players’ association need to start prioritising [...]
