    Agreed, you're much more likely to lose! :laugh:

    Olympics Athletics

    Gonna be honest and maybe this is just the American in me which can't accept anything more than excellence, unlike the rest of you low T European / Oceania countries ( :p ), but for me if you're sharing a gold you know you haven't actually "won" gold, you've decided to split the pot. It's...

    Peak Botham vs Peak Sobers

    Botham's peak all-rounder feats are overrated then, I take to be your position? It doesn't logically square that Botham is some uber all-rounder and bowler because he achieved something, and the next closest to achieve that, far closer than anyone else, actually isn't all that good of an...

    Unpopular opinion: Breaking was generally really good to watch, and I'm sad to see it go.

    Peak Botham vs Peak Sobers

    Ashwin all-rounder ranking right behind Botham for you, right?

    Peak Botham vs Peak Sobers

    I don't rate the old fashioned spinners (O'Reilly was decent I guess), the same way no one rates the old fashioned pace bowlers. They had significant advantages, and much less challenges to overcome than any from more modern eras like Ashwin.

    Peak Botham vs Peak Sobers

    Beast bowler, beast allrounder, ATG in both categories confirmed. Old, uncovered pitch / black and white era spinner supporters in shambles.

    What is the most difficult cricket shot to successfully pull off?

    Pulling off during a cricket shot is always difficult. I salute the competitors who are able to manage it, especially in front of a big audience.

    Brought us Kurt Angle, so of course it should be!

    Lowlights of the Games

    A damn shame how one rotten apple can spoil the bunch. It's intrinsically no worse, and potentially more athletically oriented than many artistically judged events like rhythmic gymnastics, or ice dancing or whatever.

    Lowlights of the Games

    Nah mate, this is a specifically Dutch problem. No other western country in the world would coddle a nonce to the extent that they have done. Not in this century, certainly.

    The Dutch culture enables this ****. It's absolutely reprehensible.

    Highlights of the games

    Eh, the reports of US team demise aren't actually that new. Similar ideas floated around after the Dream Team (and next few iterations) players got old and retired, which reached a crescendo after 2004 Bronze. I will say basketball as a sport is becoming quite a bit more high variance due to...
