Kane's gonna come back early and score the standard hat-trick against us in a few weeks time.

Trademark MS Dhoni. 6 in the final over to help secure the win and tie the series for now. He looked absolutely exhausted though. Totally shattered in the final few overs but manages to summon up enough energy to whack Behrendorff for 6 in the first ball of the final over. Calmness personified as per, from Dhoni. Never, ever seems to panic.

Chase is on for India. Need 71 off 48 balls with Kohli sitting on 99 as I type this...

So in my quest to get fitter and in line with one of my resolutions at the start of this year, I've started back up on the exercise bike we've got which for the most part has been gathering dust. I've not been able to play football due to injury so thought I'd take up exercise on the bike as it doesn't involve going out or costing anything. Did 10km in 31mins. Not sure if that's good or not but I aim to get below 30mins and even quicker in the next few weeks.

Stan & Ollie 7/10. Firstly, I was heavily disappointed I did not feature in this film. Secondly, I thought it would have charted their success from start to finish, and what made them the icons of comedy. But interestingly enough, it actually follows their lives after they reached their peak. So there was a lot of stuff that I actually learned about the duo. But the film still kept some of its humour but also depicted the immeasurable connection the two had with each other. It's not your normal cinema-going film - it's bereft of action or tension (not that that's what I expected, mind) but in spite of that, you still feel fairly engrossed in it and become emotionally connected to the characters.

Yep! My first thought was pretty much this: Did you ever work the same security places/shifts as @Rafa Beneathus?

@Toinho thank me again later. Now 4-3 to Perth. Very soft penalty I think!

@Toinho thank me later. It's now 3-3. Keogh with the equaliser.

Bit of a shock on the cards with Perth losing at home to Western Sydney. Currently 3-2 to the away side with 10 mins to go. Much-changed Sydney side and perhaps Perth have underestimated them. Castro has made a difference since half time but Western Sydney are putting up a good fight against leaders and are good for the 3 points if they hold on. I guess this is where @Toinho says he decided to watch the game which is why they're losing

No idea about that. Only 5 teams leave the Premier Division (1 automatic, 1 playoff, 3 relegated). Then of the 3 other divisions you have the winners of each eague and winner of each league's playoff, so 6 teams. I wonder if the promotion is based on who gets relegated from the Premier Division. Which would be pretty shit if you got all that way to win a playoff then realise you can't get promoted because a team in the same region didn't get relegated, so I doubt it works like that

Top spot gets automatic promotion to Premier Division. 2nd to 5th go in to playoffs.

We started off far too slow. If Dhoni stayed in for even 5 or 6 more overs we might have had a chance but can't fault Australia for keeping it very tight in the bowling. Sharma was quality as usual though.

Could be a good chase on here for India to execute. Chasing 289, they fell to 4 for 3 by 4 overs. Sharma and Dhoni rescuing the innings and currently at 139-3. Should be treated like a T20 match now with 150 needed from just under 20 overs.

@nudge @Bluewolf @Azeem Rahaf Al-Qunun has been given asylum in Canada https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-46844431

Yes, went in 2011 for a 4-day stopover on the way to Malaysia.

Also, if anyone wonders where myself, @IgnisExcubitor @Azeem @Mel81x @Asura were last week, this may give some ideas. I think it was @Devil-Dick Willie who filmed us. The bit at the end with the replay cracked me up

Laughable he gets banned for that. Yeah it's crass and a bit vulgar, but to be banned immediately for it?! OTT reaction from the authorities.

RICARDILSON

What were their opinions? What did they say?!

You'd like to think so.

Murray to retire after Wimbledon, if he even makes that tournament...

Not sure if you're serious, but if so, what the actual fuck I know Fornaroli hasn't been picked a lot for City but Keogh is absolutely shite these days . No way is he good enough for City?!

Only if a woman can pull off wearing them. I've seen girls wear them where they're far too high to be comfortable and you see them almost stumbling about. Some girls are so masochistic, too. They know 100% how much pain high-heels will cause them yet go through with all the pain because at the end of the night they can be like 'these heels are killing me, my feet ache blah blah blah'

Yeah that's true. Wes Morgan I can think of as an example, I remember some Forest fans saying he'll be poor, happy with how long they'd had him for and his contribution over the years but happy to see him go. Little did they know Gray's played there probably to accommodate Mahrez when he was here and Albrighton.
