@rotated we lost one race within sight of the finish line because TV rights dictated the race needed to be over in a time frame. Ridiculous

SBW and Crotty both injured.
Fuck me, that's never happened before.

The Ferns fall short to the aussies again, this time in pool play. The margin was a single goal

Which was missed by Folau in the dying seconds I hear? Bloody good fight back after being down about 8 goals at one stage. Great to see.

I didn't watch, but apparently she only came on late so could be forgiven for missing the tying shot

@canefan I see my natural enemy isn't on the course.

Water?

Royal Portrush looks amazing

Looks like OKC can't move Chris Paul immediately, and both sides are receptive to the idea of him staying until AS break or even for the season. This is great news for Steven Adams who should be a major beneficiary of CP3's assist abilities

@jegga His two books on Eisenhower were outstanding. I’ll have to give your recommendation a try.

I’ve been meaning to read those , he was an interesting choice for overlord considering how well his plans to defend the Phillipines worked out.

I seem to remember his main attribute was the ability to get both sides to work together

@JC said in The American Civil War:

@jegga Stephen Ambrose is the daddy.

Of course he wrote Band of Brothers as well.

@taniwharugby said in CWC Final - Black Caps v England:

@canefan status of this game keeps rising IMO.

This tournament sets the bar that all future ones must aspire to. The ICC need to see that pure scoring doesn't create excitement. Never mind counting the number of 4s and 6s. The tension and excitement of having a real contest between bowler and batsman in conditions that could be harnessed by good execution on both sides made it great.
