Hey, cricket is on TV.  Gonna watch me some IPL.

Ah, that explains the mild but suddenly wet weather, the cricket season began here on Wednesday.  :bowler:

They just brought up a little chart about were the ball bounced on the way to the batter.  There was 'good', and then 'full', but then the area around the batter's feet was 'Yorker'.  How did they name that?

Also, the Bombay Indians and the Poona Warriors have almost identical uniforms.  What's up with that?

Froch vs. Kessler is about to start. Boxing is one of those sports I'll never learn to appreciate. I am however still a little intrigued.

The Dane lost, but it was actually a pretty good fight.

Wozzy is playing a Brit at the French Open. She has lost in the first round at her previous 5 tournaments, will it turn around?

GO Wozzy!

Le Mans this weekend. Only time I'll watch motorsports, and it's likely only because of Tom Kristensen who usually wins.

As a commentator noted: "Danes are very patriotic, especially when we win."

Of course, some pay-per-view channel secured the rights to Wimbledon this year. I like tennis, but not enough to pay $50 to watch a few games.

All of it is live on bbc tv, not sure who much of that will be re-broadcast on iplayer, though certainly the 8-9pm highlights each evening will.

Magnus Carlsen has won the world championship in chess. Norway swiftly goes mental; NRK cancels a showing of cross-country skiing to celebrate.

Does of the resident Norwegian have a video link with commentary? One of my favourite Norwegian things is Norwegian commentators when they win.
