WW enters the 1990s

WideWally wrote:Yes, that's right. The world's widest Wally has entered the 1990s. I bought a decent TV last week & got Foxtel this week. So I no longer need to rely on Channel 9 to watch cricket. Previously I only saw players perform in test matches in Australia & often never saw them at their best. A lot of our Asian friends have experienced problems with the bounce in Australia & have struggled. There have also been crazy situations where I have hardly seen well-known cricketers. e.g. Andrew Flintoff debuted in tests in 1998 but I never saw him until the 2005 Ashes. Jerome Taylor is one of the best fast bowlers around but I have only seen him bowl about 9 overs in tests along with a couple of one dayers in the World Cup. Ian Bell is considered to be a superstar of the modern game but I have only seen him against Australia when he always looks as though he has pooped his pants. I've never seen him at his superlative best.

Same thing with other sports. I have always felt left out when forumers discuss the World's greatest athlete but the other night for the first time I saw Phil "the Power" Taylor & now understand why he is held in such high esteem.

Tonight I'm watching horse racing from Vaal & greyhounds from Mandurah although I might soon check out the Paris - Nice cycling.

All I need is a mobile phone, broadband & one of those things with all the music on it. Then I can consider myself a man of the 21st century.

Good times!
