Peers gets Davis Cup call up ahead of Dubai semifinal
We take a look at what the Team Emageo Athletes have been up to on the social media front over the last week.
When it rains it pours for us here at #TeamEmageo and just like KC and the Sunshine Band said “That’s just the way, aha aha, we like it”
Mind you if this guy came in with his umbrella we wouldn’t mind the help.
Anyway let’s start with our man John Peers who kicked off 2016 with a dominant win at the Brisbane International. Way to get things rolling Johnny!

And as always Johnny was looking sharp the entire week.
https://twitter.com/johnwpeers/status/684250833542709249 Moving to the bat and the ball where Jason Behrendorff continues to dominate. His Instagram work is pretty sharp too.

On the pitch Dorff was in superb form during vital games for the Scorchers leading the defending champs to the top of the Big Bash ladder.
Dorff finishes with 10 dot balls and a 3 FA!!!!! That's 10 wickets for the tournament — 2nd most in #BBL05 so far! #MADETOUGH

That's 15 dot balls for Dorff! How about Jason Behrendot for a nickname?! He finishes with 1/27 after his 4 overs #MADETOUGH

The Big Man is big news out west and rightly so.

He was Dorffman by night.
Beach man by day.
Enjoying my last night in Perth before the big road trip Thanks for the new threads @calypsowarehouse – who’s the stylish one now @runninginchanel? #newthreads #calypsowarehouse @thrillsco @zanerobe A photo posted by Jason Behrendorff (@jdorff5) on
We know you need your down time Dorff, but maybe you could work on a new celebration like this?

The Big Fella has received plenty of support.
Here are some of our favourites.
Behrendorff celebrated that wicket like he lifted the most weight in an Estonian gym. #BBL05

Pretty sure the whole neighbourhood heard that call for catch #lengendorff @JDorff5 @ScorchersBBL #wicket

Despite his impressive form, some thought he was unluckily left out of the Aussie ODI squad to tackle India this week.
Not that it seemed to faze him.

He just let his bowling do the talking.
Three wickets over the Thunder, the perfect response.
Seriously, how is @JDorff5 not at the top of the Aussie selectors list for limited overs. Another dominating performance. @ScorchersBBL
— Daniel Wilkins (@lensman_dan) January 7, 2016
It seems like there's about 65 players in line for the Aus WT20 squad but really if @JDorff5 doesn't make the final cut it's a farce! #BBL05
— Daniel Davini (@davvers605) January 7, 2016
Surely @JDorff5 must make the Aussie T20 World Cup squad #earlypoles #BBL05

Back to tennis and Matty Ebden has just finished his pre-season work out in the west where he had a couple of special visitors.
Ebden is off to Canberra to prepare for the Australian Open where he is on the verge of direct entry. https://twitter.com/Packman/status/686095331579150342 It’s only six days until Lisa Weightman runs in Houston to lock away her Olympic spot. https://twitter.com/brendanTohill/status/683138666756059136 https://twitter.com/LisaWeightman/status/684164431798902789 https://twitter.com/irun_au/status/686326946712530945 While Will Bosisto led WA against India on the weekend. A nice little feather in the cap for the former Australian U/19 captain. https://twitter.com/rickeyrecricket/status/684941080706433024 Fresh off working on his other game.

Finally we finish on a sombre note with the passing of tennis stalwart Darren Tandy.
Thanks brother. https://t.co/mA6dgBiFvr

RIP Darren. Thanks for the support, guidance and assistance that you provided a generation of tennis players in Australia.
That’s it from us.
We look forward to catching you next week with another instalment of the #TeamEmageo Social Muster.
