Pot Kettle Black - sorry its a sport thread
Read an article in the Telegraph today in the sports pages which went rambling on about England importing all its sports stars. I was left thinking that this was a tad hypocritical (in a Murdoch paper too! Who'd believe it). Surely Australian sport is brimming with such folk. I'm just struggling a bit to think of them at the moment. I came up with:
Kostya Tzu
Tatianna Gregoryova
Toutai Kefu
Clyde Rathbone
Kepler Wessels
but I know there are so many more...any thoughts

Whatever it is, it's safe to assume it will factor in a significant hunting and fishing role. And the sole guarantee is that he won't pursue either among the gentle estuaries or snobby fox hunts of his native England.

You never expect the Inquisition, but you can tempt it:
Andrew Symonds is facing the prospect of disciplinary action for breaking team rules after being left out of the Australian side which crashed to a humiliating defeat against Bangladesh in Cardiff overnight.

Cheeky buggers calling it FOOTBALL FEDERATION AUSTRALIA! Perhaps Soccer ... or Gaelic Dancing Federation Australia, but just because they occassionally kick a simple round ball around using the feet, "FootBall Federation" it does not make.
