  • "Bowl Faster Champion" | The Group Chat #121

    What was the better display of Test Match cricket: Australia vs England or New Zealand vs West Indies?

    Probably the game that had players chirping one of the fastest bowlers in the world and proceeding to ramp and pull him for six!

    The boys have plenty of cricket to discuss, as well as UFC 323, which delivered some shock results. Can you celebrate too much when you win a UFC title? Apparently so...

    United are in the wins column; meanwhile, Arsenal and Liverpool find themselves in the Losers' section of this week's show.

    Finally, a wrap-up of the weekend of punting, including some huge UFC bets and an 'oh so close' touchdown multi in the NFL.

    All this and more yarns in The Group Chat.

    Razor should stay! The lads reckon you have to stick with Razor until the end of the next World Cup at least! Do you agree?

    How about UFC 322!? It started with a bang! There were plenty of knockouts, and then the title fights came... To their credit, the best two fighters won at the end of the day, and neither JDM nor Zhang could do anything about it.
