Congrats to all. Tonx and Geo in the same team, I'd like to be there to watch! :D Good luck guys do Australia proud.

Please come back next year K and K!!! I bowled in the first 5 but missed last year's due to being away from the game.. for this one I just wasn't ready to come back to that level yet. Really hope this is on the calendar next year......

Interesting to note that these records were set in 1986 and 1989 respectively, not in the 90s or 2000s. No super soaker particle monsters with ridiculous asymmetric cores back then.

Tighten them up to 1:1, seriously it wouldn't worry me. Someone just do something so all this complaining and negativity can stop!!!! Nothing will kill the game faster than the constant negativity!! (Yes, that even includes ditches!!) People will learn to adjust over time, and it is going...

If bowlers want two lanes of giving way at major tournaments then that's fine, but I think that new bowlers who haven't experienced it before need to be told about it and taught before the tournament, maybe at the tournament checkin and briefing. I've bowled more than enough tournaments now that...

Rugby League a minor sport in Australia.. Seriously are you high??

A large part of the problem in promoting bowling to the public is it also has a bit of a nerdy image in Australia. I think we need to get bowling looking more professional in terms of dress/attire, approach and attitude, but I'm not sure how this could ever be enforced or achieved. People...

You mean the football code which was originally created to keep cricketers fit during the winter/offseason? Yes indeed, the "true" code.

He's proven how good he is but by no means is he unbeatable! There's certainly a few guys here who have the ability to take him on. I reckon despite ability he's got most beaten mentally before even shoeing up, which is good for him but a bit of a shame for the rest! Back to topic, balls...

A few of their players (Smith, Inglis, Finch, Cronk, etc) still have to continue to prove themselves if they want to be picked for Origin this year. There is plenty to play for from an individual perspective if nothing else.

Strazz!! Great to see you back bowling, been ages. Hope you start bowling more regularly again mate.

Well post once more and you will get to the magic 10. Just an idea :) It was probably introduced because of spamming issues on the forums recently, this helps stop it.

Well done Bradley.

Hmm I seem to remember you jumping down my throat on another thread for not sharing your opinion, regardless of right or wrong you are correct for once in saying this is an open forum and everyone is entitled to an opinion. Maybe take heed of your own advice. George hasn't done anything wrong...

Congrats Mary thoroughly well deserved.

Sounds like big scores are the order of the week in this one. Have to question why we need "superballs" when you can score so well with plastic.. Well done belmo!! Awesome effort!

Agree, in particular one, who never seems to have a positive word to say. I think he just needs a good hug. Any promotion is good promotion. If we can get 5, 10 or 20 top international players to come over that is great for promotion of the game within Australia. What good is a $25k prize...

Congrats mate, awesome.

...except for the fact that the greens don't guide the ball to the jack like today's lane conditions guide bowling balls to the pocket.. and also the fact that bowls don't have super aggressive coverstocks and weight blocks which enhance a bowler's ability to perform. They are not even close to...

Good point. It seems odd that it crashed the scores on one lane only (from what I can remember of the original post now) and that it was not recoverable. I guess what I am thinking along the lines of is a secondary programme as well that would back up scores every so often (maybe every 5 or 10...

Hi Rob, Not having a go at you at all. However if that's the rule as Wayne mentions in his post above, it seems grossly unfair. Maybe there should be a rule that all centres with computer scoring must have a backup through a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) for scoring purposes. The...

Can't agree with this statement, if someone was able to back up the fact you had the front 6 (or 8 or 11). What if someone had the front 11 and the same thing happened. Still tough titties? Not if it was me, that's for sure. If I threw 11 in a row and was going for a perfecto, I'd fight...

Get a new job mate.

As in Gillian has been removed?? Has an announcement been made on this?

Hilarious!
