Murray

[homer]

Anyone staying in this fine Friday night to watch the plucky Scot...........?

Didn't think so.

I will be staying in, but I think I'll go out into the garden and watch the grass grow instead

Even though it will be dark, and I won't be able to see it

You'd be wasting your time if you do, his match is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

Well done Lorraine!!

I didn't stay in to watch it but heard it was a thriller.

Back to the thread for a moment?

All sports should have a defining moment. With football, you cna walk away, arguing about the penalty, goal, offside decision, or whatever, that turned the game. There is usually a defining moment to that sport.

Rugby probably also has it, and golf sometimes (if you saw Sergio at the US PGA drop it in the water, for example.) Tennis to a degree, boxing, and track and field can have it, but not darts, rarely snooker, or gymnastics.

Other sports simply don't. When Lewis Hamilton leads from start to finish, there's no 'moment' and therefore it's not a proper sport.

Basketball - you shoot and score. Then we'll have a go. Then you try again. Eventually, someone will have more points. No defining moment. Same goes for Baseball (how many innings do they want, ffs?) and swimming.

Still, great that the BBC splashed the cash on Grand Prix rather than spending it on football, or cricket, or anything like that, eh?

Made themselves look a right bunch of (Grand) Prix.

Basketball - you shoot and score. Then we'll have a go. Then you try again. Eventually, someone will have more points. No defining moment.

There are points of the game for example where a player throws a shot, he scores but he's fouled in the process. The ref has to decided whether the shot was thrown before the foul, whether the foul was cynical enough for further punishment, whether the foul was committed before the whistle. Players can get fouled out, refs make dodgy decisions etc. There's also the tactical part of rolling subs and keeping my players.

It's a cracking sport which has no history in Britain to be attractive enough to passive sport fans. For a few years, Saturday nights down Leicester Riders were superb. Incredible to watch. The atmosphere always pumping. In Europe, Basketball is massive, the crowds nasty and the hype justified. The American version suffers from having the have's and have not's in terms of teams.

I know what Melts would say.

 

[glyn]

Anyway Murray is a set up against Nadal, 6-2.

Well you know more than me then, I don't have an opinion on any of that :icon_conf

 

[Hazzman]

The lad deserves a pat on the back for his performance today.

We'll see whether the Henman wobble will come down

 

[MKFox]

Could be Henman-ivanisevic all over again.....

 

[highland fox]

Love him or loathe him,Murray was brilliant last night,he had Nadal running around like a Butlins Redcoat.Whether he can see it through isn't a different story but he was devestating,I guess people will say Nadal under performed...
