The Sports Widow #14 |
Good afternoon girls. My afternoon of bliss was shattered when His Highness returned home from The Gabba at 4.30 in a state I would describe as messy or happy hysteria or the better description – pissed. He could see the brief disappointment on my face and duly explained that I should be happy because “firstly I did not ring you to pick me up and secondly I bought you some flowers on the way home”. He then produced a bunch of half dead, second rate flowers with the Seven Eleven Logo on the plastic with a sale sign - $4 special today only. I said “thank you for not ringing me to pick you up because I have no doubt I would have had to pick you up at 2.30 – given it must have taken you 2 hours to walk the 2km home from The Gabba.” I then promptly threw the flowers in the bin.

Good afternoon Bombers – Australian cricket is in turmoil. Why did the bookies have The Proteas at $4.20 at the start of the Hobart test match?? By the end of day 1 The Proteas were $1.30 and probably overs at that price. More on this below. Mal Smellyourfinger gave Benny a lesson in coaching and humility guiding The Kangaroos to an easy win over The Poms. Now for The Kiwis and redemption for the Kangas. The Wallabies continued on their winning ways albeit with a get out of jail card from the ref. Paris awaits this weekend. The Socceroos have the draw yips and need to lift their game if they wish to continue to the World Cup in 2018. Conor McGregor matched his Irish craic with a second round thumping of Alvarez in the Hexagon on Sunday and last but not least The Nikars beat the Monarhs in the Latvian Futsal champs. As Mrs Davis says to Jay Trotter in the movie Let it Ride – “there’s a fine line between winning and losing” to which Jay Trotter replied “yeah, the finish line.” Here we go:

Good afternoon girls. Just when I thought the sports frenzy was dying down after the Spring Carnival the worst of the worst has come upon me. Cricket, not just any cricket but Test cricket. My disdain for cricket is unparalleled – it would put a glass eye to sleep.In fact I would rather watch re runs of Seinfeld. The only saving grace is that The Australians are getting beaten with ease so not 5 days of torture. Then yesterday I got even worse news – an email from The K Man that the Australian Golf season starts today. What have I done to deserve this sports cyclone.
