Easy to tell the one that has been involved in team sports in the past isn't it?

Yep, just everything about her is all class, loves her footy, beer and cricket, rivals Pat Rafter as my favourite ever Aussie tennis player.

He was finished before my time.

Goolagong-Cawley was my first recollection of Aussie tennis stars then when Pat Cash won Wimbledon everyone bought a racquet and a head band.

How far have we come yet still a long way to go !!!

To think 10 years ago if anyone had said that you will watch a women's ashes match then a wheelchair tennis final live on free to air tv.

And for the news to be delayed due to the wheelchair tennis final.

Totally agree

But..... why is it called the Ashes? Who burnt the bails and when?

Yestreday's wheelchair final was the first time I've watched and I really enjoyed it
Gee they're talented but what that Sam Schroder has to overcome physical wise; I am absolutely in awe.
Nothing but admiration for him. More guts and determination that I've seen in a long time

I've still got a 1995 Adelaide University Students Union Centenary T-shirt.
It is getting a little shabby...

At our girls gymnastics presentation dinner last years we had the local Labor candidate come out and present the club with a foam cheque for $3.5 million towards the construction of a new gym, if Labor wins the election this year...

Fast forward to today and the local Liberal candidate has promised $3.6 million if they win...

Win win for the families out here...

Will that extra $100k sway some voters?

No idea, and I wouldn't count on either of them actually delivering on the promise, but we can live in hope...
