1. Meldonium and Maria Sharapova. Apparently this stuff gives you blonde hair, good looks and makes you grunt loudly when coming second in sport. I've been taking it for years - I can confirm it does nothing. See your local chemist - or the back trunk of that van with licence plates 'SD 2230'. Announcing your guilt before WADA does it, apparently reduces your eventual sentence. Sharapova is extremely negligent - or dumb. Who is next? Maybe that is why Warnie was dumped off "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here".
2. Afghanistan have qualified for the T20 World Cup. A great effort. Apparently they came out all guns blazing with their heavy strike power. Had great artillery in the sheds. Hit the ball like a rocket and bombed a few into the stands. Really dug into the trenches when it mattered and battled hard in a do or die situation.
One clever new move they have brought into the game is when that last ball run happens and the keeper rolls it towards the striker's end for a run out, they had their striking batsman stay in the crease until the non-striker arrived safely. Then the striker ran. Not out if it hits the stumps as the striker is still in his ground! Clever. No doubt strategy and some clever lieutenants on board.
3. NRL. Rabbits and Sharks were impressive. Canberra too. Parramatta too it must be said. However suddenly their work looks to be unravelling with fines and point deductions likely. What is the next debacle at that place? When does it get better?
4. Rugby - QLD Reds. That coach, Richard Graham, did not last a day after The Wrap got hold of him last week. Why you would allow the off season to be led by him I would never know - and axe in week two...a contract issue perhaps.
Who will be the first NRL coach to go? Must be Andrew McFadden at the Warriors.
5. T20 Cricket. Great win v South Africa (without AB de Villiers) to take the series (does it matter?). India are a long way in front in that format. Finch looks cooked as predicted, despite the Victorian pleas. Kahawaja and Finch cannot be in the same side as their fielding is terrible! Steve Smith...is he a 20-20 player? I don't think so.
6. Kyrgios. He is so boring. When does he join another country? Hated in the USA costs you money. Ask Anthony Mundine.
