What's up with the cricket team, Australia?
Are you trying to lull us Poms into a false sense of security, or something? I mean, losing to Bangladesh is going a bit far, isn't it? :evilgrin: Especially since you followed it up by losing to us ...

1. Rule them out
to your peril. They will learn that 'win toss and bat' makes no sense in England when it's overcast in the morning.

3. Makes a change, doesn't it?
Of course I like to see my country win, but I'd much rather watch
a good match between equals. But Bangladesh - that's going to take
some time to live down.

4. maybe we've worked out that it's a fucking stupid game
and they can't be bothered anymore? actually given the collective IQ of Austrailan cricketers prob not.

In a few more weeks I'll NEVER have to have any sport PARTICULARLY test cricket on my TV/radio ever again. I can't wait!!!

6. before my last relationship I'd never seen a cricket match
I avoid it by having the Teev off in the summer, ex is a cricket tragic so it meant I couldn't really avoid, as soon as I can find a flat - NO MORE SPORT!!!

I may date another sports fan but I sure as hell wont live with one again
