Welcome to the Gurgler’s Weekend Wash Up. See what we did there? Gurgler, Wash Up? Anyways, the reason for the Wash Up is to have a look back on the weekend of sport that was.
But instead of letting us do the wrapping, we open it up to our readers. We supply a variety of choice sporting questions from the weekend and deliver the results in visuals. We also take the best free form comments along the way.
This week focuses on the Australian Cricket coach’s departure after winning a World Cup and Ashes Test series, the Winter Olympics and the NFL’s big moment of the year – Super Bowl LVI.
So if you’re into looking back, or catching up, here is the latest Weekend Wash Up.
WAS THE JUSTIN LANGER SAGA FAIR?
Looks like the people are divided or don’t care about Justin Langer. Which is a little unfair given all he did for Australian cricket.
Comments:
Why do cricketers need a coach anyway?
Alex, Box Hill
He’s a liar, and a hypocrite.
B. Joyce, Canberra.
WHO SHOULD BE THE NEXT AUSTRALIAN CRICKET COACH?
Looks like the former England coach Trevor Bayliss is the front runner according to our readers. Ricky Ponting is not far behind as well as current interim boss Andrew McDonald. But let’s be fair, Interim bosses/CEOs simply don’t work out and get worse if you then employ them long term. Mostly.
Comments:
Well, everyone else is from NSW, so you may as well have the bloody NSW coach to tick all the bias boxes. Stuff the Blues.
Alf, Charleville
I’m Pat Cummins, bla bla bla. Do this, do that, bla bla bla, I think I’m so big, bla bla bla.
Homer Simpson
WHO SHOULD BE THE NEXT AUSTRALIAN CRICKET COACH ACCORDING TO SHANE WARNE?
No surprise that Shane Warne thinks Shane Warne would be the best choice for Australian Cricket coach. On the positive side/s, if that happened he’d be out of the commentary box and as coach he’d be up for some of the abuse he currently throws at everyone.
Comments:
What a surprise that result comes out at 99%. Gives Shane Warne another bloody excuse to talk about his 99 century miss….
Steve, Bankstown
Shane Warne is the most self indulgent pr!ck in World Sport, and he can kiss my arse.
Gary, Reedy Creek
F–k you Steve. F–k you Gary.
Shane W, Melbourne
HOW MUCH WINTER OLYMPICS HAVE YOU SEEN SO FAR?
As we thought, a gold medal is a rare commodity that leads to more viewers. Although nothing is still out in front. Of course Steven Bradbury gets a mention, like he should at every Winter Olympics until the end of time. Winter Olympics is helped with nothing else really on.
Comments:
I normally don’t give a stuff about the Winter Olympics. Too many people with fancy nicknames who drink Red Bull. But I got sucked in with the Moguls over the weekend, and may be tempted to watch more. As long as we keep winning.
Susan, Lawnton
HAVE YOU NOW BEEN TEMPTED TO TAKE UP HURLING?
Hurling dominated the first part of the Winter Olympics coverage. A mix of lawn bowls, ice skating and marble. What more could you want? Well some knowledge about it according to our poll.
Well you can’t please everyone.
For the record we think Hurling Rocks!!! Which works as a stone pun.
Comments:
I’ve always thought Lawn Bowls is overrated and got way too much publicity. So I am all in for hurling.
Albert, Milsons Point
Hurling is a cheap, poor person’s lawn bowls. Where’s the excitement. Not enough charging. Not enough follow through. Not enough Parella.
R. Parella, Brisbane
I did a lot of hurling after about 14 schooners of Great Northern on Friday.
Dave, Goodna RSL
WILL YOU BE WATCHING THE SUPER BOWL?
It’s always interesting to see the cross section of people who enjoy the Super Bowl.
Looks like being trendy, a young male and love a bet are the main groups to watch the big event.
Anti Vaxxers are against it like most other things, and will likely be protesting at some stage over the weekend.
Comments:
Super Bowl is the ultimate anti freedom game with all the rules, and only those who comply with the establishment would like it.
Chance, Anti Vaxxers
Bla, bla, bla, bla, Freedom, Anti Government, bla, bla, bla. Will it be catered?
Clive P, Sunshine Coast.
Rubble, rubble.
Hamburglar.
