Australia are currently playing West Indies in a Test Match series:

We won the first game in Brisbane by an innings and 65 runs

The second game, West Indies first innings- 9/405

Day 2 of 5 in Adelaide...

I can see your point Joost.
But don´t blame him for committing suicide, blame our society. It´s no wonder that there are more suicides, gun rampages, terrorists and so on. The system doesn´t give a f*** about people anymore. It´s all about the system running well, the individual is replaceable, the only thing the world needs us for is to work our arse off and pay taxes.

It´s a damn shame, especially here in Germany. A lot of people here are suffering from depressions, it´s not the right way things are going here.

Damn right blizzard and that's what makes me really sad.
The death of Robert Enke was in fact a pretty big thing over here in Germany and that's to critizise somehow.
I have to admit I'm absolutely not into football, but most Germans are, so they're maybe a little bit more emotionally involved in this. But, you know, it's not right IMO that the media was exploiting this tragic death. It was almost a 24/7 media coverage, then the wife giving a press conference and the coffin being shown in the Hanover stadium? I think this is just not right, the funeral and the ceremony should've been private, since the death of a beloved person is understandably a very private thing and should be a concern for family only. Yet, sadly this is just how it goes with famous people.

3rd Test vs West Indies in Perth:

I think Australia will win this game

To be bowled out for 150 by the West Indies is shameful-they're rubbish. Could be a decent last day there, I think they need 50 to win with 1 wicket left.

51 to win with 1 wicket left. I'm sure Australia can make it. It's rather disappointing to see Australia epically fail in the second innings though. They aren't the dominant team of a few years ago.
What's the TV coverage in Britain like swca? In Australia it's on free-to-air TV (by government mandate) and Channel 9 (and their regional affiliates, like WIN) do an excellent job at stuffing as many ads into the coverage as they can fit in. Frustrating to say the least....

i do hope that west inndies pulls it from this point. it will be great for them

[swca92]

Cricket in Britain is on the Murdoch owned, cable channel Sky Sports which only a 1/4 of the nation have as it costs roughly 30 quid a month and most people won't pay for that.

[swca92]

Man City have sacked Mark Hughes-stupid decision, typical hypocrisy and stupidity by club boards who are clueless as to how to build successful football teams.

[phil1993]

Terrible decision.

[Coopz]

Like Phil said, a shocking decision.

Utd and Liverpool losing today though

Arsenal beating Hull 3-0
