Re: General Sports Thread

Malinga aint even bowling, he chucks the ball and in such a threatening manner, I wouldn't want to face him bowling.

Andy Murray is now 5-2 2nd Favourite to win Wimbledon, should make an interesting tournament.

Oh and there's some new Eastern European girl aged 16 who allegedly makes more noise than Sharapova, I'll be turning the sound down on her games then. Can't stand all that grunting.

Yeats raced into the record books by becoming the first horse in history to claim the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot for a fourth time.
Aidan O'Brien's eight-year-old (6-4 favourite) was settled in behind the early leaders, but Johnny Murtagh sent him to the front well before the turn for home and he quickly put distance between himself and his rivals.
Patkai was the only one to come out of the pack and make inroads up the home straight, but Yeats found plenty for pressure to record a momentous victory by three and a half lengths, with Geordieland a further 15 lengths adrift.
O'Brien said: "Unbelievable - that's all I can say. I was so sick this morning as I really believed this couldn't happen. History is very hard to change. We knew we had a wonderful horse, but usually fairytales don't come true.
"You dream and dream and dream. We were in this position and we never would be again - great things can happen. I want to say a big thanks to everyone involved.
"Johnny had a lot of pressure on his shoulders and the way he handled it, and the way he rode it, it was something else. I couldn't believe it.
"He's an unbelievable horse and we knew there would never be another one of him. I've never felt pressure for any race before, and this horse was the only time."
Murtagh added: "Muhammad Ali told everyone he was the greatest and he was, and Yeats has shown everyone today that he is the ultimate heavyweight champion.
"I had no doubts. After Navan (where he was well beaten) I looked at Aidan and he told me 'he'll be grand for Ascot'. He loves fast ground, he loves Royal Ascot and he comes alive here.
"This is one the greatest days of my riding career and the feeling I had coming past the line for the horse alone was incredible. For the horse to win four Ascot Gold Cups is fantastic. It's good for racing, and Yeats is everything that's positive about racing." ________

Ashes test is drawn and an australian wins the Formula 1 GP while a Brazilian chucks his toys out of his pram. Speaking about David Bekham as well he was happy with comments made about his professionalism.........makes a change from his marriage really
