At one point one of the commentators said, "Chokljat all over George", and I quite lost my train of thought.

That was my favourite part of the game! I think even the commentators were giggling.

[F]ans can look forward to a feast of live NBL action... from the New Zealand Breakers at least.

Due to the Auckland club's deal with Maori TV, the Breakers will dominate coverage of the Australian league with 17 games including all 14 of their home matches

He'd just been called for a (completely justified) intentional foul. Then he walked over to the other ref and said "We're not playing netball here, you know"

So I hope we'll get a blog post for the basketball?

Well, I have been bugging Hadyn, but in the meantime I'm sure Mike won't mind me linking to his great photos.

Where does one get that sort of information Russell? I'd be very keen to see the viewer numbers for the ice hockey on Sunday on Sky Sport 3.

yeah, it's a pity there wasn't a bit more advertising/info about the ice hockey being on, I…

But, I was at TSB stadium last night, as was Hadyn, and would just like to say: OH HELL YES.

The kiwis out-played the Aussies all over the floor, wiping the smile…

Is there any truth to the idea that netball is mainly enjoyed by people in Canterbury, Otago and Southland?

And people without Pay TV.

Interesting figures Russell.

What would also be relevant in your comparison is the viewing figures for the big games in the netball ANZ Cup on SKY.…

Does that include estimates of pub viewers?

Wow. Is pay TV killing rugby, or is it rugby doing it all on its own?

Catherine Latu, a last-minute replacement for Romelda Aitken and not the most mobile player, was getting the best of one of the world's best defenders. Latu would go on to be MVP of the match.

She was awesome. An awesome big, mean bully.

It was a really painful game to watch. The Ferns just looked so flat, including players who are usually just fizzing all the time.
