Poland (3 picks) just beaten in the volleyball qf. Interesting that the first 4 in group B all won their quarter-finals against the first 4 in Group A.
Anyone on USA (5th in the 'good' group) can probably feel hard done by the group draw.

Two more on Saturday to finish off the summer feast, before the temporary autumn lull.
In the morning, Brazil (5 picks) have a chance to gain one point in the volleyball bronze medal match v Argentina. We've no-one in the final.
The final Lions Test is on Saturday evening. Hasn't exactly been a try-fest so far (I really don't know how to frame these rugby events!) but the fact only one player has scored so far means even one try for any of our selections will get some decent points. Anthony Watson is dropped, Josh Adams finally gets a start whilst DVDM and Rob Henshaw get another go.

Darts World Cup will finish in 3 weeks time, Sunday 12th. US Open Tennis final will be sometime over the same weekend.
Aussie Rules league phase ended yesterday. Richmond (6 picks) were a high profile failure, not finishing in the top 8 this year. Geelong (5 picks) and Port Adelaide (mdoug) play each other next Friday - winner will go through to a home semi-final though the loser will get a second chance.
Cricket T20 Blast quarter-finals take place this week Tuesday->Friday. Surrey (4 picks) failed to get out of the group, but everyone else is still alive. Notts (4 picks) against Hampshire (Strewelpeter) is the standout tie.

The line-up is Hampshire (Strewelpeter) v Somerset (Keane, Lao Lao) followed by Kent (no-one) v Sussex (premierstone). Then the final soon afterwards.
Hampshire bat poorly, rally a bit late on to a still sub-par 150.
Somerset have a mare chasing, 40/5 early and 105/7 after 17 overs with just tail-enders left. At which stage I switch off as 46 off 3 overs isn't happening based on anything that's gone before.
Going to have to rewind just to see how the fuck Somerset actually won.

Yes, DJ is, by my possibly flaky maths, guaranteed at worst a tie for second. Playing Casey in the singles looks a gift though.
Of our selections just DJ, Rahm and Morikawa are alive for possible points. From your pov it's a shame that 100%er Morikawa got rested on Friday evening.Comment

Rugby League has some potential for the chasing pack - Wigan beaten in their quarter-final so won't score. Up to St Helens in their home semi-final v Leeds next Friday to put some points on the board. Points are 4-2 in that event, nothing for beaten semi-finalists.

Super League final on Saturday . St Helens (9 picks) against unpicked Catalan. I'm off travelling again, so Sunday before you get an update.
Just 1 game left for each team in the baseball regular season, and surprisingly still a bit left to play for play-off wise.
My hipster pick of San Diego has gone down in flames, whilst Chicago White Sox (SP) are safely into the last 8.
Dodgers (6 picks) could yet top their group and be into the last 8 and the cushion of best of 5 games, or could finish second & have to play a once-off wildcard game.
That one-game playoff is the best case scenario for the Yankees (4 picks) who are in a 4 way tussle with Boston, Toronto and Seattle for two places in the wildcard round.
That's my read of it anyway.Last edited by ArmaniJeans; 03-10-21, 19:31.Comment

UK Snooker Championship and Davis Cup Tennis both finish on the evening of Sunday 5th December. 4-2-1-1 points available in both and with a pleasingly wide range of selections I'd expect someone to bink. Note in the tennis that team 'RTF' is Russia (without flags or anthems etc coz of the drug issue).

My first change - an mdoug style punt. In the Davis Cup tennis - I'll scrap Canada and bring in Great Britain. GSTQ.Originally posted by ArmaniJeans View PostComment

Something tells me I missed some big announcement in the Davis cup community about either the Swedish or Canadian team that aj picked up on.
hopefully Serbia are equally beaten out the door to save my blushes.Comment

Hah, I was just checking todays results as you typed, as expected a 3-0 defeat.Originally posted by RichieM View Post
Canada's two main guys Shapovalov and Auger-Aliassime (both top 12 in the singles rankings) withdrew (tiredness) a few weeks ago which moved them from contender to no-hoper.
I did try to disguise my change as being 'a punt' rather than merely abandoning a lost cause
Neil Robertson (pokerhand) the big casualty in the first round of the snooker.Comment

i was looking into this over the last week or so, and had it pretty much as a coin flip between Spain and Serbia, but as they were on the same side of the draw, made it difficult to pick one over the other. Was very surprised when i looked yesterday to see Russia are in fact massive favorites!Originally posted by RichieM View PostComment

Yeah, it was difficult/interesting to work out without a betting market. I was originally going Italy with partial home advantage until Berettini got injured. Then I thought UK must be the favs with two T20 singles players and a topnotch doubles pairings. Never really considered Russia and then see they are 6/4 when a market finally developed this week.Originally posted by shrapnel View PostComment

Updated with my tennis change, and also to confirm (prob not needed) that mdougs Russia is 'RHF' in the handball event.
Snooker will be on BBC/Eurosport all week, and Eurosport will also show intermittent Davis Cup from the quarter final stage on Monday onwards.Comment
