Ah yes, must've been that.... :p Catch you over the weekend mate.

More like he can't commit to retiring....

I suspect a few postal votes to be cast that day.

Congratulations Peter. Having bowled at Melton many times in the past, the centre is one of the few that aren't easy. A fantastic effort by Peter and the 680 series is great at that centre.

Yeah, only difference is that this roll off is over 25 games for the Adults and 21 for the Jnr/Yth. If a consistent 200 bowler cannot beat a 170 average bowler over 25 games then they DO NOT deserve to be in the team. If it is over 6-8 games then I can understand this point of view...

That is the way it works mate. Those who bowl in sports leagues will always have a lower average but at the end of the day (provided they go about it the right way) they will end up the better bowler. Unfortunately for every one of you Scott, you will get 3-4 who are trying to cheat the...

The "sandbaggers" will still shoot around there "average" on a sports pattern then (i.e. 15 - 20 pins below their true average). Unfortunately it's a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. One way to solve the sandbagging issue to reduce the impact that it can have (by reducing the...

I have always felt that bowling East Coast was always more about the social aspect and as such the lane conditions and the way I performed have never had an impact on my enjoyment of the week. I don't understand the rational behind toughening the pattern in this instance. I recall previous...

How many all up?

100 split over all the teams is not many at all. Good luck to those rolling off.

Memories, memories, memories... I have very fond memories of that league - Best of luck!

I think you'll find Paul that both divisions do. Most of them happen to be from the Northern states which makes this quite hard to win (although very fulfilling). Good luck to those who are rolling off.

Good to see some coverage of bowling. Disappointingly they didn't speak to Glen, was a quick little snippet. Nice wrist guard though Chip. Confirms one thing - Jess wears the pants!!

Everything is your fault George! Haven't you realised that yet? Belmo not showing at Berri, New Zealand not winning Rachuig, The guy on 9 and 10 who left a cold 10.... it's all your fault!! Almost every post by him is negative. I would love to read something that is actually constructive...

The speculation alone creates additional interest in the event. The prize money on offering will appeal to the Internationals and so will the fact the event will be in Sydney (even if it takes some time to travel from the bowl to the sights). I had no doubt from the minute this was...

It's $50.... If everyone in this country has your mentality then the sport is doomed regardless of how successful this event this. Well done to those who are out and about talking this event up. Let's hope those bowlers don't look at this thread. Some people in this country are a joke.

Of course it is. It's Werribee. Although I'm not sure how much control they have over which pattern gets laid this time around, they were one of minority who served up tough conditions for tournaments over the last few years. They should be congratulated and deserve every success hosting this...

Why is your name "hurt"???

My dedication to the Shep Men's team would be Cheer Up Boys (Your Make-Up Is Running). I thought Farqy's work involved "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz".....??? I'll think of someone else to sledge at some point ;) Keep safe!

Maybe you guys could hold a boxing match on the Saturday night. Heck I'd even drive up to watch that.

Think I finished with around the 210-215 mark on a house shot that was interesting to say the least. Some weeks would grind to 580-620, other weeks would find 660 a disappointing result. Would take the grind every time. As for how it equates to my true ability, I'd like to think that I...

So more unneccesary politics in Tenpin Bowling.... What a surprise! .... and people question why numbers are dropping!

Great post Haysey.... No ambulances required bluey.... the blokes who would require them pulled the heart strings too early.

Still 2 months before it would run. I would expect to see something after the events in Canberra have finished.

Can you get work to give me the leave mate??? I heard that course is a bit of a "wild thing" at times :p:p
