What a bugger, Sky aren't showing it.

Woah, really?! Channel 10's showing every game live, free-to-air here. Probably the only good thing they'll do this year.

 

[coolian2]

The infuriating part is they usually commentate really well for other teams, no shitheaded cliches.


Ugh. I'd mute it but i like to hear atmosphere.

Rugby on one channel, league on the other two. They did show a live game last night, but i was asleep.

Btw, the Brumbies are up 27-18 against the Sharks with three minutes to go.

 

[coolian2]

Make that 27-21.

 

[coolian2]

Warriors dicked 48-20.

Fuck that.

Tonight's IPL games:

Kings XI Punjab vs Chennai Super Kings (The Super Kings have Fleming and Oram; Punjab has Mills)

Delhi Daredevils vs Rajasthan Royals (The Royals have Shane fucking Warne, so I hope they're beaten into a pulp. The Daredevils have Vettori.)

So go the Super Kings and the Daredevils.

Ooh, OK. The first game today doesn't start for almost 2 hours. Or at least Channel 10's broadcast begins at 11pm and it's 9:20pm right now. Runs right through to 5:30am, so 7:30am your time.

And woah, the Sharks are going down?! Is this topsy-turvy week?

 

[coolian2]

Not a sign of IPL live tonight.

I wish there was a Super Wins team.

 

[coolian2]

Yeah, it just finished 27-21.

What a batshit crazy week.

Having Fleming and Oram just about qualifies for a name change to Super Wins.

They also have Matty Hayden, Michael Hussey, Murali, and ... wait for ...

NAPOLEON EINSTEIN

I promise you, I am not kidding. I think I've mentioned him here before, actually. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Einstein

Ouch, that's got to hurt.

His name has come up before, but it needs to be mentioned more.

God, some Indian names are great

Wow, unbelieveable.

The 'Canes better not go down to the fucking Cheetahs now.

 

[coolian2]

See, i wasn't expecting to win...but i wasn't expecting to get horribly dicked.

And it annoys me when they prove another fucking cliche correct, in this case that they're abysmal when they play away.

What anybody who says that phails to mention is that they've now played both of last years grand finalists on the road, and the team that finished third last year.

It may just be me, but i don't think that's a very easy schedule. Especially when those games are in Melbourne, Manly and Townsville.

Still, i expect both the Australian media and NZ media to churn out the bullshit.

There's also Adolf Lu Hitler Marak, an Indian politician.

I think I'm going to support Chennai just because they have Fleming, Oram, and Einstein.

Yeah, that's a pretty fucking harsh schedule. Any team's going to struggle with that.

But come on, the Australian sports media doesn't give a rats arse about being impartial or having any sense of quality. Most of the newspapers aren't even fit to wrap fish and chips in.

I think it's hard to go past the Mumbai Indians

Truth.

 

[Axver]

I laugh when I see people reading the Herald Sun. I just think "you probably never went to university and still think the children overboard thing was completely legit".

 

[Axver]

I wish they were the Mumbai Bay Bombers, in reference to their city's old name.

 

[Axver]

Bleh, turns out the Punjab vs Chennai game has begun already and it's not starting until 11pm here because Channel 10's showing the AFL live. Turf the AFL off to some network that's just wasting time with a movie and give me cricket!

I laugh at the Daily Terrorgraph


PASSENGERS IN FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES ON QANTAS FLIGHT


When they make a normal go around.


Lol.

My choices now consist of grassroots rugby, a league replay (i just watched the game), golf and netball highlights.

That would be brilliant, but probably a bit too intelligent for this competition.

At least they aren't the Tactix.

 

[Axver]

Though the worst newspaper in the world has got to be the Daily Mail.

If you believe anything in that paper, you probably didn't finish kindy.

Wow, you'd think they could slot a game featuring Fleming and Oram into there. I'd sort of understand if no Kiwis were playing, but not in this case.

I love how some of the names are based on the corporate name of whoever's sponsoring the team. Way to not even hide the hyper-commercialisation.

But hell, if it can keep producing things like McCullum's 158* off 73, I can get into it.

If i had a team, i'd just call them the Auckland Ian Is Great In Bedz

MORNING

I have no custom Wellington team name to top that!
