Sussex Sharks rampant

Last night I saw Sussex Sharks easily dispose of Glamorgan – the bottom side in the Southern division – for themselves to go top. Sussex had no Jefra Archer who was busy playing for Sussex seconds in Blackstone Gloucestershire, taking 6-27 and scoring a century in preparation for his [...]

Up and down, up and down

Although not part of the Olympic cycle, the summer of 2019 has already provided a positive glut of sporting excellence and entertainment and there is plenty more to come, not least the commencement of the 2019/2020 Premier League season and the Rugby World Cup in Japan. I cannot personally claim to [...]

Change is always gonna come

Reflecting upon my sports-watching over the weekend, together with reviewing other developments, it occurred to me that we are currently in an era of great and far-reaching changes right across the spectrum of elite sport and – sitting on the sidelines as most of us do – we may as well prepare [...]

The World Cup final

This match was surely the greatest argument for the I-was-there brigade which included me in the Great Rust Debate. Never mind that my earpiece was attached to TMS all day whose commentary was superb and crucially on top of the rule requirements to decide a winner that the match itself nor [...]

Sporting weekend ( so far)

After my win on Joe Rahm at the Irish Open I came under pressure from the missus to replace the rust heap literally on its last broken legs that is our barbecue. I relented on the basis that it involved a speedy trip to the local supermarket for a like for like replacement. Unfortunately they were [...]

Wednesday’s sport

To the many benefits that Abbie summarised in favour of TV watching I would add the capacity to watch several sports on one day rather then being committed to the one you attend. Yesterday was a case in point when I watched the conclusion on the reserve day of New Zealand v India, the men ‘s [...]

Where logic and theory come to grief

For some time now we on the Rust have been reviewing the status and quality of women’s sport – something we shall continue to do – in the context of both the 21st Century’s obsession with political correctness (and its supplementary accessories, not least equality of opportunity, equal pay, [...]
