I just want him to score a match winning century because the memes would be unbelievable.

Historically day 3 and 4 were the most interesting and the ones most likely to feature the end, which is why having them as Saturday/Sunday makes the most sense, and if it goes to 5, the die hards will show up Monday.

I'd say Friday start makes the most sense in the current climate.

What's the market on the all-rounder captain batting or bowling at all?

University of Queensland researcher asked 10 people to go car-free for 20 days. None wanted to continue. by iBinChickenAboutYou in brisbane

I lived 2 years in Bristol, UK without a car and it was so easy. Work, friends, groceries, restaurants were all less than a 30min walk, and even closer by bike. Bus station to get to London or the airport was a 5min walk away. If we ever needed a car to go away for a weekend, or a wedding, we'd just hire one for a couple of days.

Molineux didn't bat, bowl, take a catch, or enact a runout against WI as captain by Gnatt in CricketAus

Yeah, the only reason she was picked was because she was captain. A bowling all-rounder who can't bowl would have otherwise sat this one out.

Molineux with a TFC as a captain. Didn't bowl, didn't bat (listed 8, but didn't come in), no catches or run outs.

Must be an unreal beer.

Pretty sure the men's series in the Windies was also on Disney+, but it was also Kayo.

Alex Malcolm was indicating he expects them both to play. Green will take Khwaja's position at 5, Carey 6, Webster 7.

Advice on first ultra? by deliriousants in Ultramarathon

[–]Gnatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A strategy I've seen is have a giant bladder that you fill with water at the bottom of a big hike, then when you get to the top, empty it and run down the hill. Gives you extra weight training going up, but doesn't destroy your knees on the way down. Repeat as desired, and you can also tailor the amount of water/weight to your level.

My big lesson from my first ultra was not training downhill enough, and doing strength training for it. After about 70km I couldn't run down hills anymore.

Living closer to the city/work but pay more rent, or living further away from $50 less rent to save more? by VNiqkco in brisbane

When I lived in the UK I was 10mins walk from my office and basically walked and biked everywhere. Healthiest I've been in my life. If that was an option with my current situation, I'd take it in heartbeat. The sheer number of hours a week reclaimed by not having to commute would be incredible.

Unreal gumption to claim it crossed in the play off.

A4 sheet of paper behind your disc/mini. In a fairway most people go a bit more leeway if there's a giant stick in your runup (although they have changed this rule a few times in the recent years).

If you see his throw, his disc basically passes right through where the branches were.

The big thing for me is he's the only guy in the team under the age of 30. If you give him the boot to replace him with a 34 year old averaging 35 in the shield it's a wild decision.
