Women competitions s only for natural born women

Emma Weyant Should be the NCAA national champion for the 500 yard freestyle and not Lia Thomas.

Lia Thomas is not a natural born woman should be allowed to compete against natural borm woman. 

The reason that there is woman only competition is so that natural born woman can compete against natural born woman. 

This would never be allowed in Russia. 

There is no place in sport for this type of gender politics. Womens competitions to be opened only for natural born woman .  

recognised  compete against natural born woman. Lia Thomas should not be 

recognised as the champion. should be rocognised as the champion.

Is the Aussies United for the Boxing day test match

The second test between Australia and Pakistan could provide interesting test match cricket.

There was a lot of criticism for Australia for tactical errors that allowed Pakistan back into the game that nearly caused a massive upset. David Warner the vice captain defended the captain Steve Smith that said Pakistan where that.

I have no doubt Pakistan is a good team that is capable of that.

Either of these scenarios that tactical decisions were made that were wrong or Pakistan was that good. The former shows that Steve Smith is then not Australia's best choice as captain and has tactical flaws that he needs to address.

The latter means that Australia has an underbelly that is weak. It's means the weakness that brutally exposed by South Africa until radical changes were made still exist. It means Smith doesn't have the answers and that the senior players are not assisting. It would be then time to replace the captain.

The third issues is the elephant in the room that during the reign of Micheal Clarke there was a lot divisions and Australia hasn't healed nor has Smith unified the team and they're playing like a bunch of individuals with very little or no team ethic. Australia has a record oof losing matches where 400 plus wad set and lost. Lost a few matches with those targets. Last time when South Africa scored 414/4 in Perth in 2008/09

Pakistan has a real chance to equal the series. Australia is vulnerable after Pakistan they have had the mist spectacular collapses. Including losing twice in two test matches 10 wickets for less in 90 in their country.

Nobody knows how the drop in pith will behave it could be flat deck or be a really tough pitch on the first morning.  Pakistan has the fast bowlers to cause havoc. The ability to swing the ball. Australia record at playing the swinging is not good look at the Ashes and the South African matches. 

With Pakistan it's hard to say who will win. They're consistently the most inconsistent team.

Australia is the slight favorites with batting issues on both sides it could be close affair or an easy win. Think we are in for a great test. If Australia wins it cliches the series if Pakistan wins there will be a decider at Sydney.

The test starts on Boxing Day at. Time 25 December 23:30 GMT/UTC
26 December 01:30 SAST/CAT

Boxing day test South Africa VS Sri Lanka

Boxing day test is usually the second test this year it's the first test between South Africa and Sri Lanka both had recent series wins against Australia.

Sri Lanka's success was in Sri Lanka were the Australians were whitewashed. South Africa had a much tougher assignment it's been four years since the last series lost in Australia against South Africa.

South Africa enters the series with their third test captian in three years. After Greame Smith was captian for 11 years. Faf du Plessis should have been captain from the start.

Sri Lanka has only won once in South Africa in Durban and their only draw also in Durban. This test is played at the oldest test venue in South Africa and one the oldest venues in South Africa. South Africa have beaten Sri Lanka 8 times in 10 matches in South Africa.

Younger players that might lack the fear of bouncy swinging pitches do lack experience. Herath might have the same succes at P. E. As their will be slow turn some swing reverse swing will be a big factor.

South Africa will the same side as in the second test. Unlikely that the left arm allrounder Parnell will play. It is Faf first series since appointed as permanent captain his third series series as captain.

Rabada is expected to lead the attack and continue his rise. Amla are short of runs his last hundred was on the New Year's test he.

South Africa is expected to win the match. The match starts at 08:30 GMT/UTC

Italian thug flattens rugby referee

This is an unacceptable behavior.  The law allows any player who physical attack a referee to be banned for life he got three. It's an extremely light sentence.

Bruno Andres Doglioli, captain of Serie A side Rangers Rugby Vicenza tackled   referee Maria Beatrice Benvenuti from behind and left the 23-year-old official with whiplash

The referee did issue a yellow card if that was me I would have issued.a red card. She did complete the match and suffered whiplash.

Hopefully world.of rugby.cracls down this kind of behavior it has no place in a professional sport.

ICC sells it soul to the money of Inda

Here is the scenario.

An Indian breaks the rules. India is playing at Eden Gardens it's a sell out. There is a 100000 fanatical Indian fans in the staduim. Issue a red card in all ilikely hood is going to result in a riot. Do you as an umpire issue a red card?

With a red card to be introduced by the ICC in the future it can be quite effective in the rest of the world. Against India doubt it would happen. Against any other absolutely yes it will be issued.

When the ICC decided to make DRS( decision review system) compulsory the BCCI threaten.a breakaway the ICC backed off back to an bilateral agreement.

The ball tampering matter involving India and the ICC with clear evidence no action. The ICC is fearful to apset India where the money in cricket is.

Unless another country or countries can rival the money in India it won't change. The ICC has sold it rules to the highest bidder

Selective enforcement of ball tampering law

While the ICC is going ahead to Crack down on ball tampering and the hearing against Faf du Plessis for ball tampering will go ahead.

There is inconsistencies in people being charged for ball tampering. Viral Kohli was caught doing the same yet no action will be taken against him. ICC claims it came to their attention after five days which means he cannot be charged. The real reason is that he is Indian. There is no way a hearing will be conducted. The BCCI will not accept and could pull the plug on their involvement in cricket. Being the bullies again.

Steve Smith has admitted yet no action they take action against him they must act on Kohli.

Then there is the CEO if the ICC Dave Richardson who has admitted that it's impossible to police every artifical substance that is issued. Players will be charged if caught.

There is inconsistencies in players being charged only one player has been charged after defeating Australia in Australia sour grapes by channel nine and their ex players who can't handle defeat in their own backyard.

If you can't police creams and sweets I'm saliva being used then except those items especially the sweets in saliva. You can't have selective enforcement of rules
It's not how it's done. How do punish one player and let two go free one for being afraid of financial muscle the other you afraid of their media. The ICC once is without a backbone it's is no surprise. If you are not going to act against the others than Faf should not be penalised either.

ICC must change the rules on ball tampering.

Coetzee could be axed and replaced

When certain unions in South Africa wanted to get rid Heynecke Meyer he walked away from the Springbok coaching job despite the fact he signed a second term of four years.

It was decided to appoint Allister Coetzee the former Stormers coach who won the a few Currie Cup wins never could go on to win the Super Rugby title despite being in 2012 in the best position by topping the log.

He was generally regarded as the best coach to select a mixed team. The result of this year the Boks only won four matches. The failure to beat the All Blacks is nothing new however losing to Italy which wasn't considered a possibility.  Loses include New Zealand twice, Australia away, Argentina away, Italy away, England away. Wales away and Ireland at home with a extra man for most of the match seven losses. His winning percentage is 33% the worst for the Springboks on the professional area.

There is talk that he can get fired.as the results isn't good enough and don't deserve another change there is a few candidates Jake White world cup winning coach, Johan Ackerman of the Lions and
Dave Rennie the front runner a New Zealander would be first forgeiner head coach in Springbok history.

Eddie Jones was a assistant coach that won the world with Jake White in 2007
