Tried to read a Guardian article about cricket and I don't understand more than 25% of what's written.

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...-and-a-nudie-run-how-australias-media-reacted

First, the good news: cricket fans around Australia would have enjoyed a full nights sleep on Thursday, following their sides day-one capitulation in the fourth Ashes Test in Trent Bridge.

All out by lunch for a measly 60 was the dire first innings score, with more runs via sundries (14) than the top-scoring Aussie batsman, Mitchell Johnson (13).

And didnt the Australian press embrace the spectacle, tearing strips off a side that went off promising to end Australias 14-year losing streak on English soil, and instead looks like extending it.

Its Pomicide read the Sydney Morning Heralds back page. No less dramatic was its front, which drew on the 1975 dismissal of prime minister Gough Whitlam by the governor-general, lamenting a day-one collapse that will live in infamy.

You often see baseball players foul balls off their legs/feet, but not often the other way - off their head.

I remember Andre Dawson doing that once, fouled a ball off his head.

Seemed like it hurt pretty good.

Jets QB Geno Smith will be out 6-10 weeks after being 'sucker-punched' by a teammate, according to head coach Todd Bowles.

Bad manners at the Canadian Open or whatever we call this tournament now.

Kygios was fined 10 grand yesterday and also issued a facebook apology btw fwiw.

"I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the comments I made during the match last night vs Stan Wawrinka. My comments were made in the heat of the moment and were unacceptable on many levels. In addition to the private apology Ive made, I would like to make a public apology as well. I take full responsibility for my actions and regret what happened."



"Unacceptable on many levels" :laugh:

Many pundits were predicting the puncher's career was over. His name is IK Enemkpali.

Well sir, he was picked up by division rivals, MY Buffalo Bills.

You do NOT want to fuck with us.
