One sided news reporting

Sorry but the more I read it the more I laugh

Meanwhile, Australia's George Frilingos grabbed the lead of the first block in the men's division with a total of 1461 winning all but one match. Doubles Gold medalist, Mohd Noer Said put in a spirited display to finish second with 1357 and winning all his six matches.

If not for Frilingos' third and fifth high games of 269 and 268, the Malaysian would have been a lot more closer but instead trailed the Aussie by 104 pins. The surprise was Malta's Ray Fazlon Reale finishing third with 1311 despite only winning two matches.

In the match between top-seed, George Frilingos of Australia and challenger, Mohd Noer Said of Malaysia, the Malaysian was on fire defeating his opponent, 211-178. In the second match, Noer was unable to repeat his striking form but encountered two unlucky splits to end the match 165 to Frilingos' 208. Noer's two-game total of 376 fell short by just 2 pins to the champion's 378.


Got to love those Malaysians, can you tell the reporter is from Malaysia?

They can't do math either by the look of things

211 + 165 = 376 (they got that right!) but...
178 + 208 = 386 (did anyone else notice this?)

I remember the '98 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, when Richard Hood from England bowled a 300 game. The newspapers then ran a headline story calling him a 'perfect d**k'! How embarrasing!!

Looks like their english hasn't gotten any better over the years.

Same thing happened to the girls Asian Schools team in Penang 2003. When we got the gold in the Teams event, the Malaysian newspapers only reported that their team 'couldn't defend their title' (basically that they lost it, not that we won it)
