On dodgy ground there Tam mentioning football, you only need to remember Ali's Army as far as Scotlands abysmal attempts at the World Cup is concerned.
As for the cricket, I have this deep dread that England will be looking for a witch doctor to drum up some rain before this last test is out, they do after all make a bit of a specialty of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I would be happy to be proved wrong though.
