Cricket & the Aussies:

[_VTEC_]

Can't help thinking that after another display of ownage on England's behalf that the Aussies are once again eating thier words.

''We'll beat England.''
''It wont happen again.''
''They're luck will run out.''

Instead of spouting arrogant cr@p such as the above, why don't Australia get their heads to the grind stone and bloody play some Cricket!?

Well my aussie flatmate has plonked his fat arse on the sofa for the forseeable future.

Can he not get the hint that I may want to watch my own TV, he has been in the flat for 3 weeks and hogged the TV since then.

Getting angry now.

I have been sat in a room full of Aussies watching all afternoon and they still think they are thrashing us!

They only survived the Third Test by the skin of a gnat's knackers and hopefully the weather won't be so kind this time!

You should hear them over on the TMS forum. They've had it their way for 16 years, and they do not like this situation one bit. Turns out the Aussies are great winners, but very bad when it comes to losing!

Ive done 3 trips to the prison island and each time they go on about how much better than us they are at sport,wish i was going on a 4th trip

[Podie]

TBH name someone who IS good at losing.

That aside, I think the competition has seen great sportsmanship from both teams; regardless of who was winning at the time - something you seldom see in sport (football being one example).

I think the cricket fans have been set up to lose for so long now, that it is no surprise when we do lose. I think England cricket wise are good losers.

[Zod]

There is an utter whinger on TMS called peteagain who claims that the English team are a bunch of dirty cheats. .

Plenty of practice I suppose

[andy mac]

Yup... We were crap at cricket for a looong time... Not so crap now though! Its time for us to wave our hands in the air, and thumb our noses at the opposition!

Would be nice to have something else to brag about down the pub other than the Rugger world cup as thats wearing a little thin now.
