BOB'S CORNER: During our injury-enforced absence, US correspondent Bob Craven has been chomping at the bit, churning out updates for the website despite his own tryst with ill health. Unlike me, you can't keep Bob down though and he's back with all the latest news.
Our Sami to weather the storm
THE Seattle Times has produced a strong story about former Opals captain and FIBA World Cup starter and Bronze Medallist Sami Whitcomb, now driving the Perth Lynx toward a WNBL finals finish. Percy Allen is the reporter and courtesy of our man in the US, Bob Craven, we reproduce it here.

BENDIGO in this new Kennedy Kereama era, remains the WNBL's only undefeated team as it sits atop the ladder after road wins in Townsville and Sydney, the Flames and Canberra yet to break through but set to do so in Round 5 where they will square off in Canberra.

Bob's Corner: Basketball on a rockabilly roll

ADELAIDE and Perth once provided the NBL with its toughest road pairing, a trip universally known as the "Doomsday Double". Round 9 confronts both clubs with potential doomsday or defining scenarios as they work to find their past identities as playoff perennials.
