I am saying this with bias towards Hamilton and I am ok with that. Hamilton didn't do anything wrong at all on Sunday, turned up to a winner takes all and put in a champion's drive. He shot off into the distance, granted the dive bomb from MV on lap 1 was ballsy, but not much can be said that hasn't...

Rumours abound that Merc take another engine penalty for a new even spicier block , 5 grid place also takes him away from the first corner with nut nut. You'd imagine if they did that then RB might do the same as well. Both engines turned up to 11 and going balls to the wall should be fun. Binotto ...

Just when wickets fall, apparently the system is down. Yet amazingly up for wicket balls.

Pies get wickets it seems.

Leach brings up his 50, off 37 balls. Pretty decent strike rate for a test match.

Oh wait, he's bowling. fudge.

Thomas wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 4:38 am Pretty keen to see Leach bowl again. He's possibly the worst test bowler currently rolling the arm over. Just really terrible stuff.

The only way he'll get wickets is from players trying to belt him for 36 off each over.

Gives me hope for a call up if this is the test standard for a spinner.

Thomas wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 12:57 am Warne describing what Harris did is exactly what un-did the English yesterday. You just don't push at a ball at the Gabba. You leave it or you play your stroke.

You would think that international cricketers would know this. It's not as if it's a surprise to anyone.

I don't know why we bother, I really don't. It's all about cycles. I remember when the Ashes was a wooden spoon battle in test cricket. There have been some awesome battles so we have to just wade through the occasional dross to get there How old are you exactly? https://preview.redd.it/f1emtllk0ai...

Not a cloud in the sky here in Brisbane but that will change later. Last session will probably be washed out again. This is a good pitch to bat on so the Aussies need to hang in there and not lose wickets. I'd love for us to be 1 or 2 down for 200 at stumps. We'll probably collapse though I've got ...

Real answer though, if you have the time to a mixture of both work well. When training for a race I will usually do something like this: Monday - easy day Tuesday - longish intervals/tempo work Wednesday - easy day Thursday - easy day Friday - speed intervals (30-90 second efforts, equal rest) Satur...

1) Shorter burst of higher intensity running for say 15 minutes?
2) Or a lighter run for 30 minutes?

Yes.

Yeah good summary. I thought Arnold was OK. Skelton was largely invisible.

Have no idea where my nearest rowing club is, but it's not something I've looked into or am particularly interested in to be honest. I bought the concept 2 to keep fit over the off season as I don't really have any races to train for in running and the rest of the rugby season has been cancelled here.

The wife and I enjoyed Criminal on Netflix. They have a UK French and German one if I remember correctly. The UK one was quite good.

Also just watched the first episode of Squid Game, seems alright if you are into a no brainer type show.
