The delegation in Melbourne is smaller than it was in Manchester 4 years ago -

Come on Engerland!

I think the Commonwealth game is a good way of preparing our folks for the Olympics, not to mention being fun to watch without having the americans win everything.

There's one Gold missing from that list because Gregor Tait also won the 200m medley. Only David Wilkie had ever won double swimming Golds for Scotland prior to these games and now three Scots have managed it in Melbourne.
