Post by Captain Seafort »

Rafa. :shock:

Although from a British perspective Maria Kirilenko's surprise was good news. :)

Tenons us like fury jet and golf, to be put on in the background and glanced at occasionally but not watched thoroughly.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Your auto correct needs have an exorcism. Even mine isn't that bad.

You need to fire that auto-correct and then tell others not to hire it back.

Apart from the last few overs/holes/games of course - then any of those are the most tense and exciting games in existence. Speaking of which, congratulations on tonight's T20.

20 cricket is something I have yet to make my mind up on, it seems a bit gimmicky still. Still results like this are a plus.

Just make sure it's not test cricket... just "ONE of these days" isn't long enough to watch the whole game.

I find Tennis can be a challenge to watch due to the longevity of the matches; cricket is my idea of hell. Rugby, I can watch. Short and sweet. Perhaps not so sweet.

Twenty20 - the shortest form of the game, aka pyjama cricket (or at least one type of pyjama cricket). It can't be compared to the proper stuff, but it's a good introduction to the basics.

Hello, hello. Roger's two sets to one down against Sergei Stakhovsky. We could be in for another upset here. Although I recall saying something similar last year and he upped his game and went all the way to the title.

2-1 and a break down in the fourth. The top seeds are crumbling this year.
