Great news to wake up to.... Australia 152 for 8, some 70-odd runs from a miserable follow on.

I'm out with my daughter today, the shops, play park, Bunnings, Coles, don't care .... anywhere I can wear my shirt with pride!

I'll look out for you in your shirt / cap / Barmy Army T or are you one of the hundreds of British traitors on here who thinks their Australian!???!!



.... .oooops rab ducks for cover - they won't like that in Modbury

Why Union Jack? its the national flag of the UK not England. You should be dressed as St. George

I'll have you know it's the England Wales cricket board they represent, having followed England all over the world on cricket tours, i have been giving as good as any proud englishman this morning. I rarely look forward to work on a monday, but this week will be an exception

But the Welsh are not represented in the Union Flag. The Saltire, Cross of St. Patrick and the cross of St George are what make it. Please don't wear it to support only one of the three countries it represents. I wouldn't to support mine!

Who said anything about supporting 1 country, i'm as proud a brit as i am a welshman.

I might go so far as wearing a pair of St George cross cufflinks to work on Monday.

English blokes are so funny, a glimmer of hope and they start the Ozzie baiting and flaunt their England pride.

My hubby was in despair last week and now has had his faith renewed, I hate picking him up when he has been knocked back down.

But the English cricket team only represents one country, not the Uk or Great Britain.

Incorrect. It represents England AND Wales

binky

But it still doesn't represent the UK or Great Britain ya fanny!

You may be proud but everyone else will think you are a total plank.

With a stupid statement like that I suspect you are a moron and I claim my 5 pounds.

I never understood english people who move to Australia or anywhere else for that matter although mainly those that move to Oz and then declare they no longer support or back England as they are now Ozzies. I dont think you will find any other nationality doing this even those that have been forced to leave there own countries under terrible circumstances, Iraqis Iranians Afghanis would all turn out and support there teams if they played Australia at soccer even though they might totally hate the present regime they are proud of there roots and there history and this goes for every nation i care to think of except the english.Greek, Italian Serbs Croats could be 2nd 3rd generation but still support there parents home country. An Aussie could live in England his whole life, even support England if they were playing a third party at something, but never in a million years would they barrack for England against Australia and nobody would expect them too. I have often speculated on what causes this in the English, the Welsh, Scots and Irish dont suffer this cultural cringe so why so many english. The funniest or saddest ones are the ones that virtually deny they were born there.

In my experience, those English people that changed sporting allegiance were not really that into sport when they were back in Blighty in the first place. If you're a sporting fanatic then generally you pick a team (or you are born into it) and you stick with it.
