The Ashes Big Grin

i never understand why all the fuss is over the Ashes and the hype it gets

Enlighten my Garage Joe Hug


One can make endless cups of tea and eat three course meals and still have a good time whilst the cricket is on. Could you have done that during the tennis?

Haha! The 'women's tennis is boring' bit. The Williams' domination is getting a tad boring for the viewer but in general, I think I prefer watching women's tennis.

I'm not sure women would object to playing 5 sets.

The men and women should be paid according to how popular their tennis is with the public and the standard of their game.

At the moment the womens game is going through a tough time, other than the Williams sisters theres no good players.

The mens games are much better quality and theres so many great players about, so clearly the men should get paid more.

And the Willams sisters are so underated, I hate listening those those crazy arsed commentators talking utter shit about them... They only seem to rate a female players because for their looks....

As with any sport, you get good matches and bad matches, and it can be extremely difficult to predict which will be which.

Although I wouldn't call the Ladies final "unwatchable", I would agree it wasn't one of the greatest.
Serena's semi-final against Demetieva, however, was an absolute corker...
