7.1.10

A new year brings new resolutions

As we embark on a new year, and a new decade, the one thing that's on my mind is how much more sport I can cram in to an already busy schedule. Where would I be without Sport?

This year, my Sporting resolutions are:
- Feel proud of my beloved Liverpool, no matter what happens, and no matter what people say. I've felt enough disappointment and rage in 2009 to last a lifetime.
- Watch even more Sport - that's more Football matches in every division, and more days of Cricket than ever before.
- And finally, get tickets to watch Liverpool, and at least 3 days of Test Match Cricket.

We're only 7 days in to 2010, but already there's been a scattering of Sporting drama. Leeds United triumphed over Manchester United in the FA Cup, even with the custom 5 minutes of injury time that comes with in the whole United/Sir Alex package.

Down in South Africa England's Cricketers are battling hard to save the 3rd Test Match in Cape Town and preserve their 1-0 lead heading into next week's finale in Jo'burg.

And Australia pulled off one of the most memorable Test wins ever in Sydney. Heading into the 4th day, the home side led by just 80 runs in the 3rd innings of the match, with only 2 wickets remaining. But a Mike Hussey century, and a handy contribution from Peter Siddle ensured Australia set Pakistan 176 to win. Still a very average total, but one that enabled the Aussie bowlers to have a go at. The tourists folded for just 139, with Nathan Hauritz claiming his 2nd Test Match 5-for. Damn those Aussie B******s!

What are your Sporting resolutions for 2010?
