Concept T shirts Reviews

You know when you are talking with a friend and suddenly the momentum of the conversation is such that you find yourself agreeing to something that really you know is madness? I’ve just experienced that and have agreed to run a 10 kilometres race.

One of the problem is that in the UK we really still work in miles, and I had no real idea how far 10K was. I know now though, thanks to the power of the internet. 10 kilometres is 6.2 miles! And we are going to attempt to run it.

Lunacy has never been so easy to spot. if you never hear from me again, assume the worst.

The cricket world cup has kicked off in the West Indies - 47 days of cricketing excellence to enjoy. If you don’t know much about cricket then the world cup is an ideal place to start, because it is the limited-overs version of cricket, so there will be no draws (though possibly a tie or two) and the whole action will be finished in a few hours. When you’re a real aficionado you can move on to test matches which last five days!

47 days does seem a bit too long for a sports tournament to last. Will the enthusiasm and excitement stay that long?

Teams:

Australia
Bangladesh
Bermuda
Canada
England
India
Ireland
Kenya
Netherlands
New Zealand
Pakistan
Scotland
South Africa
Sri Lanka
West Indies
Zimbabwe

Enjoy the tournament!

Wales were robbed of a draw against Italy. The referee told the players they had long enough left to kick to touch and then take the line out, so they did that (because they were going for the win) instead of kick a penalty which would have given them the draw.  And when the ball went out for the lineout, the referee blew for time. A blatant contradiction of what he had said to the players. If they had known that there wasn’t time they would have taken the 3 points.

The problem seems to be an unexpected result of introducing more than one referee - who is actually in charge of calling the time? Surely it is the ref on the pitch and if he has said there is x seconds left then there has to be.  It must now be made clear to officials that the ref is totally in control.

So what about Wales? What recompense can be made to them? They most definitely have had a draw stolen from them - and in sport careers and jobs depend on results.

Replay the match!

Did you watch the six nations rugby over the weekend? Wales/ Ireland was a fantastic game, ‘we’ll have a body count tomorrow’ the Irish coach said afterwards, which summed up the intensity and ferocity of the match.  England’s win over Scotland was great to watch as well, Jonny’s back!

Here’s to a great season of international rugby
