Bowling Tragic
Think about this for awhile. There are only three(3) countries in the world that have their own Pro Bowling Tours. USA, Japan and Korea. Japan and Korea sent their best amateurs to the World Championships. I wonder what would've happened had they sent their very own "dream teams"
Lots of haters in the world...It's a real shame that includes some bowlers.

Hypercell = Hyperhook!
The boys are bowling the 2nd squad of the teams, need to put the foot down. How's Team USA, leave's out Walter Ray Williams for the short and is forced to bowl in the make up team, ouch

Yer and they put Rhino Page in and he shoots 760 to Walters 627. Somebody knew what they were doing.
I don't think George was having a go at team managenment, I think he was pointing out that even the greatest of the great will be burned pretty quickly for poor form.
It's by no means a stroke of Genius. Check the Scores. who was the lowest US player on the Doubles (Short) WRWj, who had the lowest 3 games block on the short in trios for the US? WRWj...
Somebody knew what they were doing with a Calculator...
Considering they had only played 3 games on long, which was in trios. It's alot harder to make a judgement call has to who sits out. However, they made the right call. Rhino struggled, while WRWj did quite well. We don't know how Rhino felt, or any of the others for that matter. Or how well they bowled in the Trios event. We can only see what was knocked over.
Later Da Cowman!

Doin' the Mess Around!
Oh, you're right Chris. Still a handy turnaround though!
And i dont see anywere in my post were i was having a go at George. I was stating the bleading obvious. That is why they are winning. They have the right team in for the pattern. There is obviously no egos in the USA team otherwise Rhino wouldnt have gotten a go.
