Podcast Episode 45

The Shabs & Tinman decided that on such a hot summers day that rather than indulging in the aircon at the Coral Cove Bar we would head poolside & enjoy the nice sea breeze. With a few cold beers it didn't take line to rip into the week in sport. There may be a little feedback from the wind so apologies until we get a get mic adapter for the ipad.

Cricket is front & centre again & how good are the Aussies going this summer, well most of them anyway. The top order failed again and the middle order has a flaw at number 6 called Bailey. Whilst the Aussies will most likely go 5 nil up, there is plenty the selectors still need to get right in the team.

The Big Bash is under way & the Tinman new at the mention of the Heat to step back & let the Shabs loose. The Brisbane Heat have been appalling in their last 3 games & the last game against the Sixers was the final straw for the Shabs. The Heat will need to do a lot to win back the Shabs who will still support the team but no longer wants to waste 3 hours to view such lacklustre & clueless effort from a team that surely has the worst coach in cricket at the moment in Stuart Law.

Looking at the World Game the Tinman is always happy to give his update on Liverpool FC who are enjoying a good season & still sitting in the top 4. We are not sure what the Tinman is enjoying more, Liverpool sitting 4th or Manchester United yet again losing another game & squandering down the ladder.

An update on the A-League & more importantly the Brisbane Roar follows and it is looking like another Orange final with more distance being put on at the top of the table. It is not all rosy for the A-League though with the Wanderers & Victory bringing the game into disrepute, the Tinman gives his views on the situation & unfortunately his thoughts on Gallop that he raised on the FFDU podcast that he joined in on in Sydney almost 18 months ago may be too close to the mark.

The NRL Auckland Nines are getting close and what is it with reports that Brad Fittler is coming out of retirement. We give our views on the 9's at this stage. Expect a more thorough examination as the tournament gets closer.

There is little going on in Rugby for the Aussies but with Digby Ioane playing for Stade Francais we will keep you up to date with how things are going for the team in pink.

The awards always wrap things up and the closing song is a Jimmy Barnes classic.
