It’s been a mixed day for the Irish, hasn’t it? 4 points off a 6-Nations victory (merde!). Denied yet again, as far as I can tell… But they’re celebrating in Jamaica now. What an upset that was. Good on Ireland, but what on earth happened to the batting order of Pakistan? I feel for them. […]
As far as most sporting games are concerned, I tend to lend my support to my adopted home of Scotland, even though they suck at football, cricket, rugby… You name it, they suck at it. On the world stage, when Scotland don’t qualify for whatever World Cup is on that year, I generally cheer on […]
akatsuki crawls from under the very big rock she’s hiding under in anticipation of… The Ashes! I know it’s not very Scottish and all, but I can’t help backing England when it comes to the Ashes. They’ve been the underdogs for a long time, but I guess you could say the same for the Aussies. […]
Indian cricket lovers without cable were, according to the Beeb, left in the dark. Ha! Welcome to my world. I have yet to find a way to either listen to a live game on the radio or internet, nor catch highlights on any TV station. Apart from this morning, when I was treated to a […]
Yowser! Oh yeah, and I’m still not talking about England’s dismal run (or lack of…) in Pakistan…
From BBC news: Gas explosion halts England Test. Trescothick said: “I feared the worst. I could see advertising hoardings were damaged, but I didn’t know what to do.” (emphasis mine) I think I know what he means, but it read funny the first time.
From BBC news: The day the Aussies were beaten Back online after a week on “holiday” (more on that later). Don’t want to gloat. But am pleased that the English cricket team has finally cracked Australia. It was, to one who could not see any of the play, a close one. Both sides weren’t playing […]
It’s been a crazy wee week… I think we must have gone into every single women’s clothes shop in Edinburgh to find me something to wear for a wedding on Saturday. Fortunately, it’s not my own, so I can afford to look a little less than perfect (ha! like I ever could…). But all the […]
Cheviots Originally uploaded by framboise. For a wee visit, then off to Elgin, Rouen, Paris and back to LA. Never have I travelled so much in such a short space. I’ve neglected my duty as a circadian biologist, failing to collect blood samples to measure my cortisol levels (which are probably at a constant high […]
This is brilliant. English women’s sports teams seem to be doing better and better these days. Although they didn’t get far enough in the Women’s European Championships (footie), they certainly upped the profile of the women’s game. Perhaps this Ashes victory will inspire more girls to play cricket in school. I wish I had the […]
