    Yes it could be.
    The wickets are specially prepared and the movement was manageable but not the bowling. As England went top heavy on the bowling I thought they’d opt to field first. But the mantra is win the toss bat and win the match…
    112 all out.

    No, the day after it started, it is all over.
    That was a game of cricket that was!
    830 balls only. India win by 10 wkts.
    A one day game played in a test match.

    4th test
    England all out 205.
    So England have ten or eleven overs to make a breakthrough.
    They won the toss and elected to bat.
    I’m hoping two wickets will fall by end of play.
    India will be looking for a big first innings lead. I’m thinking 320 all out. 250 would be better! This game could go to three days this time……

    Day three and heading for an innings defeat.
    Excellent batting pitch as proved by the Indians. England simply couldn’t handle some great bowling and woeful batting.
    India’s recovery from 80/4 brilliant.

    Champions league final

    The final tonight and with so much at stake,
    I can see this going to extra time and maybe even penalty shoot out.
    Chelsea to win extra time
    Chelsea to win on penalties
    Man city to win in Extra time
    Man city to win on penalties
    Draw
    I hope for fans sake it is settled in normal time.

    State of origin
    Game 1 starts shortly.
    Were I to have a bet in this match it would be.
    Josh Ado Carr to score at any time.
    Most influential player likely to be
    James Tedesco.
    Tedesco first tryscorer.
    Queensland to win series

    50 up for the blues ( nsw)
    Tom Trbojevic has a hat trick.
    Not sure what has happened to Josh Ado Carr ( nsw) but he isn’t on the score sheet. 70 mins played record score and looks like the series is already in the bag.
    Great stuff.

    Game two this morning at 1050
    NSW 1/0 up after an amazing first game.
    Record points score by nsw. 50 points
    Today’s match could settle the series for nsw.
    Spectacular tryscoring debut by Brian To’o.
    Tom Trbojevic scored a hat trick. Everything clicked for the blues and Queensland were outplayed in all areas.
    Today’s game is at the Suncorp Brisbane and although the performance from maroons will be better, NSW are rampant and it is hard to see them stepping off the gas here.
    Valentine Holmes is a big price to score the first try around 22/1 for Queensland and a good start is essential for them to be in this match.
    Brian To’o
    Tom Trbojevic

    Should be on the score sheet again for Nsw.
    Those three players to score at anytime.

    Tom Trbojevic a tryscorer as New south Wales win even more comprehensively than the first encounter.
    26 0 the final score.
    NSW spoilt things a little by objecting to the selection of a player under the eligibility rules. The player was scrubbed from selection on the eve of the match despite having played representative football for Queensland as a junior. This was on the strict interpretation that a player must be eligible aged 13 the lad broke through at 14! The player released a statement to say understandably that he was broken by the rejection. It raises lots of questions about inclusion still being an issue in Australia. No doubt that the controversy will overshadow the entire series and lead to a relaxation of the archaic rule in question.

    Origin 3
    Kicks off 1110.
    New south Wales are 2/0 up and have already won the series.
    They have not won three nil for 21 years.
    They feel if they do not complete a whitewash the series will be an anticlimax.
    That is a tremendous incentive for Queensland to get something from this disastrous series for themselves.
    New south Wales are 100/30 on to win the match, Queensland 7/2.
    The tryscorer markets have josh Ado Carr 13/18 to score at anytime and tom Trbojevic 5/6 to do the same.
    All three matches have ended up being played in Queensland due to the pandemic.
    New South Wales have been totally dominant and they should be able to overcome a much improved Queensland side today.
    Ado Carr
    Trbojevic

    Both to score at anytime.

    Sack race
    Arteta
    Very likely to be first coach to leave this season.
    A heavy loss at home to Chelsea on Sunday would surely mean a hastily called board meeting on Monday morning.
    They are on a run of very poor form and despite two big signings, these look to have been made with a new coach in mind.
    Some stats are emerging to suggest that despite the wealth of talent Arteta is not able to utilise it to any degree.
    Straws to cling to include Lukakus poor record against Arsenal hasn’t scored in three meetings.
    Arsenal’s captain and top striker returns from covid but if not not match fit may not be able to help the side.
