Cricket was in the olympics in 1900 but hasn't been since. I guess what with test cricket being the main format back then it's hard to have a competition with lots of matches.

Twenty20 cricket would make for a good olympic event!

No idea really, you'd think if any nation was going to introduce cricket, it would be GB.

I'm attempting to avoid the result so I can watch it when I get in. Your team is fucking INCREDIBLE, but that Gabby girl is next level and looks like she's probably got a terrifying number of years ahead of her! Got my fingers crossed that Tweddle will deliver a masterclass on the bars though. :D

Wieber's been usurped before she got a chance to, erm... surp!

An hour ago we were having a spirited debate in my office about whether shooting was a "real sport".

We've suddenly just all agreed it's most definitely a real sport.
