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.
Ahoy their Muster faithful.
Yes that was a boating reference (not a very good one but one still all the same), which we will get back to shortly.
First off though it’s been a big week for us here at #TeamEmageo with plenty happening on both the tennis court and the cricket pitch.
We had to toss a coin on where to start and it came up: Will Bosisto.
It was like Christmas had come early when this happened during the week.

Congratulations to our own @WillBosisto for his maiden shield 100#123UCC #getaroundhim #westisbest #potentialkhawajareplacement ?

The patient century was exactly what WA needed to save the game.
Not bad for someone who was promoted from five to open.
It doesn’t matter how you get there (check the below), it still says 100 in the scorebook.
Great moment for Will Bosisto. Push to cover and 4 over throws = maiden 100 for @WACA_Cricket @123ucc #VICvWA pic.twitter.com/n2Ez4k0khS

Congratulations on getting your maiden 1st class century @WillBosisto! Hopefully the 1st of many this summer! #SheffieldShield #WAvVIC

“Resisto from Bosisto” – we wish we had thought of that!
Now back to that boating reference …
Believe it or not it has both a cricket and tennis flavour.
John Peers has been doing some great work over in London flying the Aussie flag at the ATP Finals.
He’s been lapping up the perks of his job all week …
Like taking a boat to work with his bat and ball.

Playing cricket on a boat on the way to work…. doesn’t get much better than that.
But surely the boys could have spent a bit of time brushing up on their dance moves.
(If you could call these moves.)

Good to see the boys getting stuck into the off-court action but of course there was plenty on the court as well.
Here are some highlights from John’s week at the O2.

At times it even got a little feisty.
Check out Peersy’s reaction here after getting tagged (in Australia we call it tubbed!) on a smash.
Deliberate or not? Make up your own mind.

Unfortuantely our man fell agonising short of making the semi finals in the exclusive season ending event but he did have a lot of fun along the way.
Like grabbing fist fulls of cash.
I tried this game out at My ATP yesterday at the O2 Arena. Give it a go! @ATPWorldTour #FinalShowdown https://t.co/fH79sVUtvZ

How else do you loosen up for the Finals?
Why not get to know your teammate a little more.

Meanwhile with Lisa Weightman to run the Houston Marathon next year, she has plenty of reasons to put the hard yards in.
Not only is she looking for make the Rio Olympics but she clearly likes impressing her number one fan.
It's been an intense week of running, but worth it. Love my time with @LachlanMcArthur #LittlePete & #CuzTom pic.twitter.com/iLmVvugRwi

Mitchell Johnson wrapped up his career after the WACA test match and a couple of our lads didn’t miss the chance to send on their best
Congrats on a great career @MitchJohnson398 always felt like I was bowling backwards with you at the other end! #leftarmersclub

And finally we will finish with “Where you’d rather be”.
While it was hard to go past Peersy in London, there’s not much that tops beach, sunset and pizza.

That’s it from us.
Wishing Casey Dellacqua and John Peers all the best for the Newcombe Medal on Monday night.
