Too much sport is barely enough

This weekend, I have enjoyed a feast of sport on the TV. And we still got outside yesterday.

Firstly, it was great to see Penrith get over the more highly fancied Bulldogs. Before yesterday I thought Penrith would be a finals contender and that game reaffirmed my belief. I genuinely thought they had a chance going into the game. Yes, the Bulldogs made too many errors but the combination of Gower and Campbell in the halves put Penrith ahead.

The grand prix this morning was pleasing, with Mark Webber coming sixth. Williams might do alright this season, as long as they keep up with the other leading teams in terms of development.

Today I watched the cricket from South Africa, where Australia snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. More than that, they reached down the gullet of victory and snatched defeat from its stomach.

I'm not sure what Ponting and Gilchrist were doing with regards to the bowling changes but there was never any reason to have Lewis bowl out his ten overs. I don't rate Lewis and I don't rate Buchanan as a coach. I think he makes the team's life far too easy and any side who blows a game such as this should be hauled over the coals.
