Yes it is the individuals responsibility to check their game scores, however the problem was with the carry over pinfall and not the scores from matchplay, so it would have been more difficult to notice as all your game scores from matchplay would look correct. We shouldn't be trying to...

Not a bad idea, but it might make people leave the sport altogether, and numbers are already way down. Losing bowlers like this who have inflated egos because of easy house shots doesn't sound like such a bad idea to me, however bowling alleys are interested in making money so they're not going...

Why should we force people to use equipment for a purpose that it wasn't designed to do? Strike balls are designed to hook, hence they will hook on certain conditions even if you flatten the shot out. If your ball has an ounce of side weight it can still hook a fair bit even if you don't put any...

What about a plastic/spare ball? Shooting 10 pins with highly reactive gear could be a bit of a challenge if the edge is dry. I know sparing is a lost art in todays equipment dominated game, but being allowed a plastic ball for spares would be nice. But I think it's a great idea and we should...

Yeah it tends to skew the figures because they record all games bowled in a centre, whether that's someone just having some fun or bowling a tournament. When I go down to the park and play a game of footy they don't record it. But what it does show is that there are still plenty of people...

Unfortunately the horse has already bolted on this one. I agree with shutting the gate to stop others "doing a Mushtare", however the record books will forever be sullied with that name. There's not much credibility left to protect down at the USBC.

Pretty sure he was at the Junior Nationals at Gosford in 94 (dont quote me on the year, it was somewhere around there). I thought he also won the Australian Junior Masters that year too.

Did anyone happen to record the interview and if so could it be posted here so all of us who missed it can have the opportunity to hear it? Adam

Well Done Drew.

Congrats on the 300 mate. Shame I wasn't there to see it. I'm predicting it will be the first of many. Keep up the intensity. Adam Thomas

I'd like to say congratulations to the big fella for winning the Warrnambool Cup down in Victoria on the weekend. The scoring pace was pretty hot with new lanes and a Kegel, and with Trotts gunning for 3 in a row it was always going to be a tough tournament to win. Well done mate. Adam.

What is the lane surface like? I am assuming they dont oil them?

Well I dont agree Graham. When something is farked, people have to stand up and say something about it, cause if we all just said "well, the team's been picked, lets get over it" then how will bowling ever move forward and the exact same thing will happen next time because no one is accountable...

The dickheads on the footyshow call a double a "Cockatoo", don't know how they came up with it. Adam.

I did download the forms to join the PBA a few years back (well before it went to an exempt field) and I believe it used to be that you had to hold a 200 average for 2 years. But then they changed it to a 220 average for 2 years because of the new equipment and easy conditions. And if you're...
