I admit it! I was cheering for Trinidad

Cricket....So NSW's knocked Victoria out of the finals in the 20/20 Domestic Champions league and we wanted revenge. We were hoping Trinidad and Tobago would beat NSW's in the Final on Friday night....It didn't happen. And I have to admit it, NSW were outstanding in the field. And yes I admit it, I started cheering for the Blues. The Patriot came out. They were absolutely gone after their batting line-up collapsed, when who came in to save the day for the batsmen? It was bloody Brett Lee! The magnificent glorious bastard hit 48 from 31 balls, including 5 6's! He's a fricken bowler! He can't do that!..He did.

The strongest man alive:



Then after saving the batting line-up, he thought he would stroll in and take a couple of wickets on top of that.

Kieron Pollard came in for Trinidad and Tobago and hit some of the biggest 6's you have ever seen. Nearly knocking half the top bay in the stands unconscious. But when Pollard miss hit and sent the ball straight up in the air, Brett Lee was underneath it to take the match winning catch. And with their number one man out, T & T were as good as gone. NSW bowlers all shared in the wickets, and a guy names Moses took one of the best catches you have ever seen.

The match was then followed by the longest presentation you have ever seen, with every umpire, official and player in the history of the game awarded a medal...Hey, why the f#*k not? This was before every team and player in the history of the game was awarded a giant novelty cheque. How many rainforests had to die for this tournament???After some massive hitting Pollard was asked what he had for breakfast? He replied: 'i missed breakfast man'... The guys an enigma! But a good one.

And to cap it all off, more recently Australian bowler Mitchell Johnson picked up the wicket of Indian batsman Gautam Gambhir during the first one-day international cricket match against India. The Aussies won by four runs in a thriller. Weeeee'rrrrrrrrree baaaaaaaacccccckkkkk!

AFL...The NSW Blues might have been successful in the cricket, but the Carlton Blues have bombed out in the Race for the Lions Daniel Bradshaw. D-Brad has decided he would prefer to play for Sydney. While it is tempting to play at a club that no longer has Fev, it's not tempting enough.

Well It's official, Greater West Sydney are going to slaughter everyone as they officially recieve 9 out of the top 15 pics in the NAB 2011 draft. In a matter of a few years, the team could become equivalent to a race of genetically engineered super creatures. Not to be confused with the proposed Tasmianian team which will have players that have not been genetically engineerd, but still have two heads anyway.

It's a bitter sweet month for the Cats. Premierships, but they lose their duel Premiership captain Tom Harley. Not the greatest player by his own admission, Toms leadership skills have redefined the role of a club captain. They are more than a talented player who leads on the field, they are also the face of the club and contribute to the administration of the entire Organisation. He was an extension of the coach, players and the staff. But his body had had enough. Thanks for the Premiership's Tomahar ;-)...plural.

Not a bad resume:

Interviews....We talk to Fitness Expert Rocco Sorace about his new fitness and recipe book, and find out the quickest way to lose that gut n ass.
Alex has prepared a great interview from the Justin Fashanu Cup (gay soccer) with the Sydney Rangers. We talk to Jason Assalin about where the Cup and gay soccer in Australia is headed.

Soccer...Melbourne coach Ernie Merrick has described Saturday's 3-1 win over Adelaide as his team's best 90-minute performance of the year and a shining example of the depth the club has at its disposal. And after Adelaide knocked off powerhouse Sydney FC!

Sydney FC has moved to the top of the Hyundai A-League table after surviving a late scare to see off a gallant but outclassed Brisbane 2-1 at the SFS on Sunday.

Horse Racing...Bart Cummings picked up his fourth Cox Plate - and probably his first kiss from jockey Glen Boss when his colt 'So You Think' scored a remarkable win in the great race at Moonee Valley. With the most inexperienced and least-credentialled horse in the Cox Plate's 88-year history, he transformed 'So You Think', from a promising but wayward colt into the winner of the best race in Australasia.

Baseball....It's getting down to the wire in American Major League baseball, and we really have no idea what we are on about, or how the finals work. So we Will present you with a genuine New Yorker, Eric Williams, who does know what he's talking about, and find out who is going to take the World series.

All that n more on the show that goes through more balls than Roger Federer.

Peace out*.
