    The MMA/UFC Thread

    The Strikeforce Carano v Cyborg card is on in a few hours. I was looking forward to seeing Diaz and Hieron, but apparently Nick Diaz rates weed higher than a Strikeforce title shot. It's a shame, because I am a huge fan of the Diaz's as fighters. Absolute douchebags as humans, but a great...

    Yeah, pretty much. I'm pretty good at reading people, and the way he was clumsily trying to reframe the discussion to suit his point was textbook first- or second-year law theory. In the next year or two hopefully he'll learn how to be a little more subtle.

    The MMA/UFC Thread

    Oh, I know what you're saying, and a week ago I would have agreed. I'm still dumbfounded at just how good Silva's standup was against Forrest, though. Griffin is no can, and he's always been known to be really accurate on his feet. I can understand him not landing anything powerful, but I...

    The MMA/UFC Thread

    If BJ come into the fight in the same shape he was in last week, Sanchez is going to need a baseball bat to beat him. I reckon that Gray Maynard has the best chance of beating BJ. He's the only guy at 155 who has the size and the wrestling to put BJ on his back and give him the GSP treatment...

    The MMA/UFC Thread

    Yeah, Leites was shocking in that fight. I'm hoping that Henderson has a good showing, but the only way I can see Henderson winning is to take him down and lay on him for 25 minutes. Not exactly an exciting prospect. I want to see Maia get a shot. His insane BJJ is probably the only thing in...

    The MMA/UFC Thread

    Thales Leites will be hoping that Strikeforce didn't spend ALL of their cash on signing up Fedor... Pretty quick fall from grace. A few months ago he was the guy people thought might be able to take out Silva. Two crappy fights later and he's out of a job.

    ****OFFICIAL**** Lara vs Tendulkar Debate Thread

    Lara has the cooler accent, but Tendulkar would be MUCH better at the limbo. So Tendulkar overall.

    What do you think of Harbhajan Singh?

    No, Murali's better..

    What do you think of Harbhajan Singh?

    Actually, I think it would more depend on your definition of "observer". The umpires both stated that they didn't hear the exchange, and everyone else within eighty metres or so was either an Indian team member or an Australian one. Both hearings found that Hayden, Clarke and Symonds were...

    What do you think of Harbhajan Singh?

    It's so unfair. People conveniently edit the footage just to make the poor guy look bad. If you see the tape from the previous over, Harbhajan was enquiring as to where Pietersen got his swanky new shoes. Pietersen informed him that the shoes, while looking like the real thing, were actually...

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    Basically, if you retire due to an injury ('retired hurt'), you can return to the crease at a later stage to continue your innings. If you retire because you decide that you can't be arsed batting anymore, your innings is finished, you can't resume your innings later, and you are 'retired out'.

    Best Fast Bowler of the last 20 years

    Attaboy. Heh. See, I KNEW you had a fine sense of humour. Well played, sir.

    Best Fast Bowler of the last 20 years

    The ACB could have given him a Learjet, a bed of rose petals and six nubile fluffers, and he still wouldn't have lasted long. His back was just not built for bowling. And I'm certainly not trying to downplay McDermott's ability. He was a good bowler who was excellent on his day- but he was...

    Best Fast Bowler of the last 20 years

    Ugh. You know, it is this kind of "I'm the font of all knowledge" arrogance that makes so many people look forward to busting your balls around here. Acting like you can authoritatively conclude that it is "simply not remotely possible", based on nothing match reports, highlight packages and...

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    From the look on Kallis' face as he walked off, I wouldn't be shocked if that's a broken jaw, just quietly. I've seen that look before... Hope not, of course. It's been far too good a series to be spoiled by a couple of injuries.

    Should New Zealand play all its home games in Australia?

    Shootout in Lahore

    At least the PCB hasn't lost their sense of irony in all this. Broad has just had assault rifles and f-ing RPGs fired at him, and Ijaz Butt thinks that he'll give a flying f--k about an ICC complaint? Somehow, I'm guessing that Broad has more pressing concerns right at the moment...

    Shootout in Lahore

    By far the best elucidation of the overall situation I've seen, here or elsewhere.

    Ricky Ponting should be sacked

    Absolutely. At the time, he was easily my favourite batsman. He was on a hiding to nothing for a good part of his career, though, with Chappell's part-time captaincy and the open hostility between Hughes and the Lillee/Marsh faction. Captain or not, you're not going to win too many battles...
