BINGLEGATE, is it finally over?

Cricket...After the previous weeks drama, we wern't expecting Clarkey make any runs this weekend, but surprise, surprise, he had a century and a half in him!...Even more surprising was his Century dedication to Bingles after the match! Not only did he thank her, but he said he couldn't have done it without her!..I think he could've made a double century without her.

Clarkey said he read every paper and article that had written about his private life, and hopefully not this blog. But he understands that the media have a job to do, and after deciding to keep everything private, he let it all flow out. According to the picture below, the only thing she was really stopping Clarkey from doing, was growing hair, cause now hes gone, and hes allowed to have some.

Onto more important matters, the Vics have won the Sheffield Shield over bitter rivals Queensland buy a ridiculous margin. It's back to back Shileds for the Vics for the first time in 30 years. We looked gone at 6-75 and recovered well with Wade on 96. We aren't going to play it down WE ARE THE F*&^$#G CHAMPIONS , that is all.

Back in New Zealand, Dougie Bollinger was also doing a fair bit of damage with 7 wickets, now up there with the best averages in history. He meant to kiss the coat of arms on his shirt but accidently kissed the VB logo...but was it really an accident?? Or was he just thirsty. New Zealand barely raised the scorers arms.

If anyone has been to Chillout in Daylesford, they woud've come across the town highlight, a little shop called 'Alpaca passion'. And I think this is as close to Alpaca passion as you can get. He's not a bad athlete, so at least Bingles has another professional sportsman to move onto now:

*This is nuts! you're on your own dude, This coat is worth thousands*

AFL ....The bump is back with avengance, as Colin Sylvia cops a broken Jaw, and the incident is ignored by the AFL Tribunal! It's open season!...Meanwhile the captains have had a meeting to discuss the future of the NAB cup. The verdict is in, scrap it, it's too hard. Well thats what Juddy says anyway and whos gonna argue with him?

Apparently the reason for Barry Hall turning over a new leaf, is due to him being in love. Well thats what we hear from his mum anyway. It started out sounding like an odd affair between the two, but a younger woman has finally tamed the wild beast.

The AFL is making moves to include a womens league at some time in the next decade, with Jeff Kennett trying to undo all the damage he has done in his entire career, by supporting it. But can anything really save his rep. now?

Golf...Hessssssssssssssssss baaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccck! well Jack Nicklaus says we need to suck it up and except that Tiger is a great golfer, and will break his record sooner rather than later. Meanwhile Tiger has finally had his first tell all interview after a long wait. When Tig's was asked, how he plans to repair his life, he said he was going to go back to his old roots. He of course meant that he was going to rely on the support of his friends and family, but we all know what it sounds like.


NRL...It's been back for two weeks and already the Melbourne Storm are on the board for more than one reason. It's not just cause they are winning, it all started with Adam Blair biting the arm of an opposition, and getting away with it mind you. Then Billy Slater is under fire for alledgedly taunting a Newcastle player over his depression. Nobody will tell us what was actually said, so what happens on the field, stays on the field. But when good Billy's go bad, everyone is confused.

Soccer....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....WE HAD IT!....After a pack of Sydeny soccer thugs mugged our Melbourne boy on field, the clouds started to form over Melbourne. It's even more painful to lose when the word 'victory' is in your team name. After 30 mins of extra time it was one all, and the game was forced into a penalty shootout. But Sydney took there chances and finished on 4-2 ,taking the win, and our dignity.

Swimming...Big Jeff Hugel has made a big comeback to qualify for the Com games. The biggest part being the rapid weightloss the big dude underwent to return to Swimming. His stomach was not available for comment....Amon Sullivan has won his event after hip surgery, and Steff Rice is spreading her wings out to take Jess Schippers pet event out in the 100 butterfly. Steff, save some for the rest of us! But yeah, keep winning ;-).

Leisel Jones has banned her mum from going to Delhi due to security concerns. Never mind about about our athletes, just make sure her mum is ok. Last time I checked Leisel was signing autographs at my local Supermarket. Now that shes hit the big time, shes worried she will be a target *rolls eyes*.

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


Peace out*.
