TDF Stage 6 DISCUSSION SPOILER ALERT! (Page 2)

For no other reason than he's a whinging arse and deserves to be caught!

Hello Kids!

The self depreciating Brits. Tom hates Cav and Chris hates Millar (and maybe even cav a bit). I must admit I cannot stand Millar either , but Cav is great. Maybe a little cocky, but at least he delivers... unlike Millar.

I thought about Chavanel, but since he's up the road with Millar he's got NO chance

I kinda also wished I'd said Freire rather that Cav as my sprinter choice. We'll see.

CHR15 TREE - 2009-07-09 11:05 PM Yuo think they'll try and work him over???

CHR15 TREE - 2009-07-09 11:10 PM

You don't like him? Or you do like him ?

The rain in Spain.... doesn't stop me from getting me home early.

Hi all.

Auge! Again?????

That breakaway WON'T stay away. Not with Chav & Millar.

BTW Jens, my postman delivers too & I don't fancy him either.

Cat, who was that rider in the picture you posted?

What's the cricket score. I forgot to tape the highlights last night. Missed Pieterson's dismissal. It was a howler by all accounts.

Watching the live report of TDF.com - not the same as VS television but will catch the expanded viewing tonight.

Thank goodness for internet to at least follow the news during the day.  Ruins it for the TV part but it is still fun to watch again and again

Morning, afternoon, evening everyone!

Just checked the predictions. Seems we have 11 different riders today. Bit of a tricky stage to pick someone today.

kaqphin - 2009-07-09 8:44 AM

I have tv coverage...

From what I can tell thereisa break away with a 3'00 advantage (ish)

Riders away are Auge, Chavanel and Millar

Artemis - 2009-07-09 11:29 PM

Chavanel was on my short list for today.  Didn't make the cut. 

wgraves7582 - 2009-07-09 2:26 PM

Alright can you guys explain the scoring of cricket?  Looks a little like baseball but I am sure there is a lot more to it than that.  You hit the ball with the paddle and you get 25 points?

How much time do you have?

4everblue - 2009-07-09 11:37 PM

mostly scored in 1's, sometimes 2's, hardly any 3's, 4's are hard, 6's into the crowd. 

Saw Richard Bransons advert for broadband??? with his face painted with the England flag & jibe to Ricky Ponting in free paper on train today. How are the Aussies taking it? In good spirits? I thought it was rather clever.

You hit a a ball and get a point every time you run between the sticky things (wickets) (in teams oftwo)

If the sticky things get hit by the ball by bowling or while you are running between the wickets then you are out and the next person on the team comes in to bat... (only one person gets out at a time)

You can also get out if the ball is caught on the full...

Once all the members on your team is out you then become the fielding team... and the other team becomes the batting team...

So the points count the number of people on your team who are OUT and the number of runs you have achieved

 

 

Does that cover the basics???
