On tour we accept the shot only if it's NOT a strike. Too many times guys were bowling on the wrong lane knowing they were on the wrong lane looking for differences in the pairs. It's the way it should be. Wrong lane - attempt the spare score counts no matter spare or open - if it's a strike...

Its going to be a long post, so im sorry in advance. Geoff, I'll just assume you were drunk when you wrote that and didn't mean that - But i will defend my Australian Team commitments and my commitments for advertising the game in Australia and around the world. Why I'm not bowling for...

Geoff, Again no one is suggesting its an easy job - but its a job he has taken. If it was Joe Blow, the same questions would be asked of him and his selectors. Good news is - Rep bowling is alive and well in this country and peoples passions have not yet faded - this thread makes that clear

Geoff, Mate, Jez or anyone else for that matter has not made any comment about the ability of Chris as a coach. The question he is asking is why in bowling in our country dont the selectors and coaches have some responsibility for team performances? They chose the team - So why not help...

This is awesome news Great bowling guys - great to see the future of our sport winning medals for our country Jb

Hasnt he won enough :) Yes he will win - he will keep bowling till he does. There is a little something special about winning in this decade. He will be the only guy in the world to of won at least 1 title in the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's and then 2010's haha...

For 3 years I have been beaten up by K and K, I just could never bowl well in this event, I have no idea why but it really frustrated me haha. I joked about never coming back each time , but the truth of the matter was K and K was always an event I loved bowling (espicially this year haha)...

Age 2-8 years - Orange Idol - Peter Brown (cant believe i actually loved watching a lefty bowl haha) I remember i use to part my hair just like him. Plus he helped me win my first tournament when i was 4, doubles event. Peter was, in my opinion the true definition of "A gentleman of the game"...

Nothing like a blunt in the afternoon huh Shayne :P

Peanut : Step by step - Orange is the only thing on my mind :)

I learnt a descriptive couple of words while been in the states on the PBA Tour. It really does apply to you in this instance. Douche Bag! You will bowl well here again. As usual the left in Orange (for reasons im not sure) is a gold mine. If you dont win it will be because you simply fell...

thanks all for the private messages. I got in contact with the girls Cheers Belmo

Hey guys does anyone know a contact for the girls team, prefer a phone number?? Private message me if you do! Just wanted to call them and tell them im letting all the New Yorkers (thats where i am right now) know our girls are better than theirs :) Plus of course tell them how excited I am for...

I think the connection between Bruno and you George is not in looks, but in personality :) love ya Georgie, just not in the way you I think you want me too

There is no question that without the fringe players there is no prize fund. My point is, when bowling was at its strongest the traditional format was used. If we can look past the $$$ and cents for a second and think about the sport! I have never seen Roger Federer lose a match because...

Why are we the only sport that tries to help the lesser skilled or lesser practiced player win? Any answers for that?? Jason

OK.... I dont think "the laneman" is trying to purposely give anyone an advantage. Especially for this many events in a row. An oil pattern is extremely hard to lay down and be 'fair'. Thats why though there are experts in the field. I think George did mention that patterns should come...

Whilst I have highlighted Shaun's message above, I just want to make it clear that I am not singling out Shaun. His above message I am sure are the feelings of some other bowlers from around the country. I highlighted it because I want to use his words as an example. Most bowlers who post...

This really is one of the best events in the world for the younger bowlers to learn and have fun in. Its where it all started for me really!! I want to wish you all the best of luck, lets hope we can put another Aussie's name on the cup! Special shout out to the Orange boys and girls and...

39ft pattern that I'm sure will play off the left gutter, how can I not pick this guy David Porto 222.2 Belmo Ps- when I win I'll be donating the ball to the juniors at Tenpin City, or to Paul Delany. I don't mind :)

The approaches were extremely bad. We complained and the staff did all they could but it didnt help so much. But they tried, so we were thankful. It was a brand new lane and approach so all it needed was about 10 games on them to warm them up. You will find as the shows goes on the...

Wait till the end of the Mens World Championship. We would get a clear indication from that i would think! Belmo

I heard the news around the traps is that Flying Frilingos goes out hard, but has poor stamina ?? Belmo

Great topic: Sync swimming and all the above sports mentioned, have the right to be there just as much as any other sport lucky enough to be in the games. As a bowler, i hate it when i hear the words "bowling is not a sport and its boring" uttered out of a non bowlers mouth. They know...

Susanne, Bowling largest sponsors are the bowlers themselves. Through entry fee's the prize fund can lift. Its a catch 22 for everyone. (male and female) Noone wants to bowl till there are bigger prize funds, but without the bowlers there will not be an increase of prize funds...
