Half my work team is Indian and they're always telling me how great the place is.
When I showed them the medal tally board (where they have 3 bronze only) they went quiet. Especially compared to population numbers there v here. 8)

That was a disappointing end to the Boomers Olympic campaign last night but a loss to Serbia was always expected.

Quarter Final

Serbia 95 (Jokic 21, Bogdanovic 17, Micic 14, Dobric 11, Guduric 11, Avramovic 10) def Australia 90 (OT) (Mills 26, Giddey 25, McVeigh 13, Exum 12)

Goorjian and BA announced last year after our disappointing WC that he would be stepping down after Paris.
