Why the **** did you mention the cricket Steve? It's terrible over here, surrounded by poms making snide remarks.

How can anyone be bothered about fans celebrating cricket matches? It's a very boring game which, from my own experiences in both countries, is far more popular in Australia than in England. No-one here really gives a stuff about it, so you can rest assured that no-one's making "snide remarks" (like Australian sports fans never do) as no-one cares who wins. Just about every member of England's current cricket team could walk along Lime Street in Liverpool and I can guarantee that 99% of people wouldn't have a clue who they were. Like rugby - both sorts - it's a minority sport with no mass following over here.

Fortunately it's been on in the early hours here because of the time difference so it won't intrude on the sports channels while we're awake and the series will go unnoticed by a blissfully indifferent British public

Hmm, across the country as a whole quite a lot of people give a stuff about it.

Never a good idea to talk on the behalf of millions without asking 'em first

6.13am?

I've got the flu Woke up at 5:00am and couldn't go back to sleep.

[Reece]

Thoughts in Warne coming back for the Aussies?

[Shaggy]

No chance IMO.

[Reece]

Agree. Would be hilarious though

[EwarWoo]

He'd probably take a quick couple of wickets as well knowing that *******, but then he'd be off the pitch for the rest of the match. Too out of shape.

Besides, I think he as a contract to commentate for about 8 different people
