He's...uhm...being sarcastic.
Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength.

Yeah, sarcasm... And the brits don't have better anything, except cars, because they'r emade by germans now. The brits have different spelling, grammer, punctuation, and slang. Damn near a different language, and I'll be damned if I have to learn it.

Their accents... are um... well, nothing new to them.

And yes, their weather does suck something terrible.

Oh, cricket, thats like baseball, but not as macho, right?

How is baseball macho?

Baseball most a guy has to wait to hit a ball is a few minutes.

In cricket they can be out under pressure for hours upon end.

In baseball pitchers just throw the ball. There's very little technique. In cricket, bowling is regulated, and requires more skill.

And if you me to throw a cricket ball at your head (bowlers often bounce them up aiming to hit the batsmen's head) and see how macho you are, I wouldn't mind trying.

Cricket is painful. Especially if the ball hits your ribs where they wear no protection.

Crickets ridiculously dangeous. My old physics teachers was blind in one eye from when a cricket ball hit him in the face during a match he played in.

oh well I love it.

But not as much as I love Harmison....

Image

Look at him! I love him.

Also Flintoff, Pieterson and Vaughn are favourites

Eloere,aww you've got two years till we go over to you and you try to win it back. Will be amazing though, although I love England and they played so well this series, I still think that Australia are the best side in the world. However much I believe Ponting looks evil while Hadyn and Langer look like Crabbe and Goyle from Harry Potter teehee....


Also this post should not be hijacked by American/English rivalry Qi. The only rivalry that should be round here is good old Aussie/English rivalty. (we've got the Ashes yay yay yay)

It's not actually two years till we go over, it's about 14 months, cos their season is different, obviously. December 2006 is when we go over I think.

Ponting is a horrible little man, the whole Australian team look like..err...convicts....hehehe.

I've never really understood cricket OR ever liked watching it. How long has it been since the British team won The Ashes?
