Anyone watching this?

Bloody Aussies have already started winning everything. Kick them out of the Commonwealth, make the Games more interesting!

Mind you England have just won two golds in two races.

Want Scotland to win some now!

Clearly these games have the H&V community gripped.

The Commonwealth Games are a pointless reminder of an Empire long since gone.

I don't even know what this is.

Does it have something to do with Cricket or Rugby or something?

Unfortunately not.

It's basically all the Olympic sports plus squash and netball but minus football and rounders. The UK competes as England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and loads of tiny places like Cook Islands and Guernsey get their own teams.

They decided to host it in India, without cricket in it, and they keep moaning about the poor attendances. What did they expect?

And at the same time that Australia are touring India.

Apparently they don't even expect the India v Pakistan hockey match to sell out, unless they give away all the tickets!
