Hi everyone, This section of the forum is a little different to the others, as you may have noticed in looking around the threads. Elsewhere on the forums, we discuss some pretty heavy topics: mental health issues, thoughts of suicide, trauma, abuse, relationship breakdowns. Here is the place to come to get away from that and have a bit of fun. Distraction can be an important tool to draw on if you're finding yourself overwhelmed by distressing thoughts and feelings. As this is a section for respite from difficult topics, we will remove posts made in this section that attempt to discuss personal issues. Please use a support thread in the appropriate section for these discussions. Happy posting!

Yes, I confess, besides being a golfer, Iā€™m also a cricket tragic. I blame my Dad for this, always having the radio broadcast on when I was a child - I used to think how boring is this (those were Test Matches back in the day). Then I discovered that Womenā€™s Cricket existed, and started playing, then I got hooked. I watched during those awful times when we got smashed by everyone, in particular the West Indies and their fearsome quicks. I rejoiced when Alan Border put a bit of backbone into the Aussies. Then we went on a bit of a golden run, with some fabulous players. Now, here we are in 2017, women are being paid well to play, and our Male teams are an ā€œinterestingā€ collection of characters. Have it away with your thoughts and comments, if the spirit moves you cheers M Anyway, with The Ashes series underway, I wondered if there was anyone else who shared an interest First Test at the Gabba, looks like the Aussies are going to smash it, thanks to yet another creative Steve Smith innings. Mind you, bit disappointed in the pitch that was presented
