Sometimes, man stares into the abyss and wonders why. If he’s lucky, the abyss has an answer, like, “Because it’s there” or “because it’s a pie – eat it, you idiot”. But other times, the man just wants to know the meaning, the point, the reason for something, and there are no answers at all.
The Bucket had this feeling when he watched Anthony Mundine and Rob Medley dance around the ring the other night. Mundine, who has plenty of talent, and even more mouth, yet instead of going to the States and calling out every fighter he can think of, he hangs around Sydney, getting older, and taking part in contests he can’t lose.

Just go here to Carsguide to have your say, and see a pic of a girl kissing a koala, or whatever it is.
A rare admission from Shane Watson in an interview with Fox. The makeshift opener has admitted “choking” during his innings in Adelaide against the Windies, although you could mention the sooky ending to a few of his other innings too: his last 10 knocks have been: 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 100, 99, so there seems to be a pattern emerging.
