Hale would not have been amused. A paddle in the pond or a puddle is one thing, water polo quite another. Watching two matches in London there seems to be only one rule - how to drown your opponent without the referee seeing (or missing the odd player or two!). With the two matches well supported the first match between Spain and China was a new experience. I had never seen a water polo match in my life. Fortunately LOCOG included a really useful outline of what should (and shouldn't) happen but having chosen water polo simply to soak up the atmosphere of the Olympics at a price I could afford I was simply happy to be there. The second match - Australia versus Italy - lifted the roof. Aussie fans did their team proud (and Skippy enjoyed it too!).
