For a long time I was, but the last two or three years I've not followed it very much (music taking over maybe? 😄 ). I guess it doesn't throw up too many surprises for me anymore...
Will make an effort to watch the replay, though, I think.

I know what you mean, I've missed numerous games over the past few summers for concerts...

I reckon it has become more exciting and open over the last few years though and the standard of games has increased, it's much more exciting than say 5 years ago when Kilkenny were just unstoppable and beat everyone.

Can remember getting caught up in the world cup a couple of times (the 1999 and 2007 ones anyway), and think I used to own a 'Brian Lara' computer game, but apart from that, cricket is "something that happens to other people", heh.

Oh wow, what a game those 2 seperate releases were. Happy, happy days.

That's a shame; it really is less complicated than all the score cards, graphs and terminology lead you to believe!

Felt really sorry for Nishikori. It's a shame when somebody just can't quite hit their stride in the biggest match of their lives. I'm happy for Cilic, and I honestly didn't care who won the match, but I just like to see both guys play their very best, and it's sad when somebody can't for whatever reason.

I don't know Démare either... but they both have great starting records. Wouldn't be surprised if they give Bouhanni a rest after the Giro and let Démare go for the Tour. Still don't think either have a chance against Cavendish, Sagan, Kittel, or Greipel (or even Petacchi if he shows up) for points. Wish the US had a better sprinter than Ferrar.

Congratulations to Bouhanni at the Giro, who I've never heard of before this year.

Bouhanni's been the "next great French hope" of sprint for quite some time. This year looks like his breakout. Problem is, chances are he will not be on the Tour, as he is in competition within his team (FdJ) with another "great French hope" of sprint that's been doing well this year: Démare.

Dauphiné results are poiting at a clean Froome sweep for the Tour this year. It's a bit offputting to seem him dominate so much. I'll still be watching of course, hypnotic broadcast as the Tour is. Just watching the bikes on the mountains is sublime.
