I have to admit I am no great cricket fan. BUT I also have to admit that (sadly) I am old enough to remember the 'Botham' Headingly Ashes Test. (Although I was still child back then).

My God, that is still seared into my memory as the most gripping, spine-tingling, gut-wretching sporting roller-coaster I have ever witnessed. Just incredible. For me, as a sporting memory, it can never be beaten.

It is all about opinions, that's correct.

I follow what's going on in most sports. I just love sport. My nipper has even got me slightly knowledgeable about NBA.... and I always swore I'd not take an interest in a bunch of giants playing netball.

Tennis is a bit "meh" to me in general, but I've watched some of the epic Fed v Nadal or Murray v Nole matches etc and it can be bloody brilliant.

Golf. Can't be bothered with watching tour matches but the majors and The Ryder Cup. Amazing.

However, not liking cricket means you're a philistine and have no understanding of real sport whatsoever. So your opinion on anything in the entire history of everything is therefore invalid. Sorry.

Gutted now, I was sure if I understood the game and had played it, I was allowed to dislike it without such harsh condemnation :down:

I think he's been treated like a dog.

A suspension from tennis for over a year for using a recreational drug instead of a performance-enhancing one. He didn't harm anyone (like breaking someone's jaw outside a nightclub) apart from himself. I hope he can win today and enjoy some fine Peruvian wine tonight. :)

He's about the only British player who's ever had a strong personality or not been brought up middle-class. It's always 'Oh, he got done for having some beak".

Maybe this will be his breakthrough Grand Slam? I hope so anyway although time is running out.

Dan Evans started well but the audience don't seem to be nearly as behind him as they were for Edmund/Watson yesterday.

Looking forward to the grudge match between Nadal and the chair luzzing Aussie who has beaten him a few times..

Got to be the match of the day on paper

How much do you win for reaching the third round?

Sorry being lazy, just realised it was really easy to look up. £111k.

He's clearly a talented player but what an absolute tosser.

Nadal is just playing him like a fiddle. Absolute cock.
