Excruciating decision

We had a terrible choice to make last night in Adelaide last night. We didn't know whether to watch the cricket with Australia playing Pakistan or the tennis finals with Lleyton Hewitt. Some of us tried to do both because the tension in both sporting arenas was too much for us. Those who watched the whole of the cricket were spellbound by a fantastic match. Those who tried to watch the tennis had to find other things to divert them from the pain of watching such a tense, well played match. In the end we all won. The level of sport was superb, the capacity to be held and entranced by totally dedicated professionals was invigorating and the nail biting moments were discussion worthy this morning. But the real talk of the town? Lleyton's engagement! Some couldn't believe it was so soon after his last girlfriend and therefore must be some sort of joke. Some thought it was fantastic because she is so nice. We all thought he had grown up and looked so fit and well and had become worthy of being called a top tennis player. We were always a bit split in our opinions of the younger Lleyton. Not now. We respect the fact he is even better looking and is a superb player. The dedication to his chosen sport is clear. But the engagement, yes, that's got all our tongues happily wagging! Who cares if he lost!
