So much for women's sport being unmarketable...

 I liked number one...95,000 in Melbourne, against Greece. 

 Ninety-thousand were probably relatives of both sides...lol...LOL

Yes, 15 seconds.

Anyone catch the women's 100 cricket tournament in the UK last night, opening game ??

You would have to be seriously blind to notice how many of the girls where very unfit and overweight. I'm the last person who cares about someone's appearance, people can do as they please etc..But in professional sport if you want to encourage kids to play, promote health and activity, bringing others to watch etc..wouldn't it be imperative to have your players fit and looking good ? I mean just as a person playing sport you would want to be fit no ?

 Colin Cowdrey. Keith Stackpole. David Boon. Ian Botham. Mike Gatting.  Darren Lehmann. SHANE WARNE.  

 Shall I go on?

 I can name a few dozen more overweight male cricketers.

  There were an awful lot of male cricketers who were placed in slips because they were too unfit to run the boundary. 

 After all, in cricket, you only need to run twenty-two yards at a reasonable trot, to be a batter.

 And if you're a four-slugger, you don't need to run at all.

PM Anthony Albanese congratulates the Australian netballers for their World Cup win noting diamonds are formed under pressure, toughest gem going. PM gestures to the OL but he doesn't want anything to do with it #QT

Spud doesn't want to upset his friends at Sky who led a campaign against Netball Australia who snubbed Gina last year.
