Subject: RE: BS: Is Cricket Shite?
S6k finds it all so boring that he keeps coming back for more! He must be annoyed at having inadvertently begun a forum for some friendly, pleasant cricket talk.
   I sometimes wonder if I am English or Australian, having lived here in Oz for most of my life. My reaction to the 4-0 whitewash proves to me I am English because of (1) my great pleasure we are finally doing well (2) my regret that the Windies were so badly beaten, despite their having done the same to us for so many years. In Australia complete humiliation of sporting opponents is de rigeur and loudly celebrated even in the better-educated end of the street. Hopefully the South Africa tour will provide a sterner test and some closer, more exciting matches. But I'm still Australian enough to hope England win convincingly!
