Cram and other commentators on other sports have managed to remain even and provide a balanced view. Diving and hockey, when England are playing, have been the exception. From what I've seen he has been spot on with his score predictions after a dive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also been knocked out in Netball, Cricket and just lost to Australia in men's hockey semi final. Lost 3-2 after being 2 up and scored 0 out of 14 penalty corners (which is a terrible record for an international team). Good game as teams evenly matched and a mile ahead of Scotland. Women's final of England v Australia will be a decent game tomorrow. Hard to call winners. Scotland need a couple of more medals to better last games total as we already have some guaranteed in boxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moraa is fun to watch, just goes on the attack, drops off, then a sprint down the last. Going to be a big danger to Hodgkinson and Athing Mu at next year's Olympics Incredible. Not sure I've seen anything like that from Moraa. Great fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 Great effort from Evans to get silver on road race. Team of two yet showed England, Canada, New Zealand and Wales how to do it. Shame organisers chose most boring set up for race I can remember and also whoever was doing camera work, make sure you can produce pictures we can actually see.

Can't recall the fuss being made then and in fact, commentator and pundit both said it was not something that should be penalised. Great to see the tears from players. Maybe they need to practice short/penalty corners as that was schoolboy stuff. I'd expect under 14 team to convert at least 1 out of 14 but for that standard of team to convert 0 ( know they got flick from one) is a shocker.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I just had a look at the medals table and Scotland are 7th at the moment ahead of the likes of South Africa and Jamaica. I always compare how we are doing against nations with similar population sizes though and that's stacking up well. Not as good as New Zealand in 4th, that's outstanding from them.
