The evolution of BINGLEGATE

Kind of Cricket...After finding out that his fiance sold her nude pictures to womens day, Micahel Clarke hopped on a plane and flew back to Australia, so he could tear his hair out in another Country for a change. Im pretty sure by now Fevs friends would have seen the photo in the magazine anyways. Bingles was seen without a ring late last week, then seen in front of a removal truck. Clarkey had to miss a fair bit of cricket over this, and is now in fear he may have lost his potential captaincy. The pair officaily split shortly after, and are already asking for us to respect their privacy, and all their nude photos, past present and future.

The boys managed to win while Clarkey was away, in game 5. But once we had the series won, we kind of took our foot off the pedal, and lost game 5. Punter played well in game 3 and 4 but took his foot off the pedal for a last game duck.

The Pakistani cricket team are in hot water after fighting within the team during their Aussie tour. Thats what happens when you have too many captains on one team, they all want to tell eachother what to do, and step on eachothers toes. half of them have been suspended, half of them have been fined over 26 grand, half of them are on probation, and half of them wont play international cricket for a while. This does not mathematically add up, but to simplify, they are now to cricket, what Carlton is to the AFL.

The IPL has begun again with Warnies Rajistans going down to Mumbai by 4 runs. And Gillies Decan Chargers are also taking a while to warm up, after going down to the Night Riders by 11 runs. Good news is the Vics have crushed Tasssie in the Shefield Shield and are well on their way to taking the whole damn thing!

AFL...Aww look at Baz, he wouldn't hurt a fly ey?...Of course he wouldn't, someone just put a medal around his neck so he's happy an glimmering away at the sound of his ego inflating further. Nobody would dare not give him man of the match after kicking 100 or so goals. The good news is the Bulldogs have a Premiership, albeit minor, but it's still a cup. Though you wouldn't know it was important to them the way Rodney Eade talked down it's importance during the week. 'It's only the NAB huh ;-)'.

Well the only positive thing to come out of the Matthew Stokes Drug case, is that we now know how he looks in a suit...not too shabby. Apparently the case is weak according to his defence attorneys. Is trafficking really the same as handing something to the person next to you? We will find out in the coming months.

Gary Ablett Gold Coast update. Clothing giant cotton on has been reported to offer Gaz $300,000 to make up for the lack of salary he will get if he stays at Geelong. The AFL are watching though and are ready to punce on any illegal behaviour. So we are still yet to determine if Gaz's heart lies with the beach, or some really nice cotton pants...Hey it's not bad, the only other top story of the weak was Cousins mystery Gastro, which is no longer a mystery.

F1..The first race of the season has been run and won by Ferarris new recruit Alonso. He is now where he feels he belongs. Other confusing new teams include Lotus, Cogsworth (Williams, HRT? and Virgin. Baririchello has jumped on board Cogs. Button has joined Lewis at McLaren, and Kobayashi who is not from the Usual Suspects, has joined BMW Sauber Ferrari. Which is confusing cause a car tends to only need one engine??

After taking pole, Vettels Red Bull became crippled, by cooking the tyres. Webber had some bad luck with the same car. Massa was second, not a bad effort after a serious crash last year, and first race back. Not a bad effort by the SCHU either first race back grabbing 7th!

Soccer...Well Sydney have knocked out Wellington in the A league, but at what Cost?

Sydney FC's marquee signing John Aloisi has been ruled out of Saturday's A-League Grand Final against Melbourne at Etihad Stadium with a hamstring injury. The celebrations were cut short, and New Zealand werent exactly feeling excited either after such a good year. Now they have time to go back to filming the next three installments of Lord of the Rings.

Hockey...Welcome to our blog! and a great way to start as our Aussie men win the Wolrd Cup 2-1 over Germany. Go boys! Steve Hooker has also taken out the World indoor champs of the Pole Vault so all in all it's been a good week. Hopefully he can take out the underground title next time? Seriously, holding it indoors just sounds like an excuse to have another Tournament.

Golf...Our Karrie Webb nearly had two wins in a row, after she took out the Ladies masters last week. She managed a 3rd, and Laura Davies got 2nd. But the real winner was Tseng, the overseas sensation who came out of nowhere to take the title.

Tiger Woods plans to make his return to Golf in the US Masters. But is he welcome? We will find out. If the men don't want him around anymore he might have to just compete with the ladies instead...with a massive handicap!

Basketball..After beating Perth and forcing the series into game 3, Woolongong were on a high. It was short lived after Friday night went down. Perth came back to win the decider 96-72, and take the title. They are the first team to win 5 titles, and

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