Sorry Fruit.... I rank tennis among those other boring small ball sports... cricket, golf, ping pong..... yawwwn..... mind you some folks don't understand why I can watch bikes and cars going round and round on a track... each to their own 'spose  :onya:

All good ARH......have look on Youtube at Sprint Car Racing. Probably my favourite motorsport, heading toward 900hp now, no clutch, one gear and raced mainly on dirt ovals. Dont think they have them in Europe. Well worth a a look.

Aaaah...now that's a slightly bigger ball so I could watch that ok....   windsurfing??  Bunch of nutters!  I was fishing on Grafham water earlier this year, big sailing club there with windsurfers among them.  Couldn't believe the speed theses guys were going at!  Can imagine falling off at that speed would be sore!

I have been know to sit & watch the netball lovelies, I mean ladies, from time to time.  Could of cast me eye over the womens beach volleyball too on occasion.  Purely to admire the skill of the players, you understand.
Basketball?  Nah.

It's kinda strange that no one has mentioned that other ball game going on at the moment?
