Well done the Saffers on your 196 run victory

Hutch

Tell me you're taking the piss.

fraser

Nope SA 290

Australia 93 all out

Hutch

I didn't mean the score ... I meant your apparent happiness at the result.

fraser

Sorry still half asleep, am I taking the piss? Absolutely

I've been subjected to the Aussie press taking the piss out of the England performances since the ashes, saying that we might as well not turn up this year.

They can bitch about their own team now

Lewis Lapthorn

I would normally be with you here mate. But as the Spitting Image song went, all them years ago, 'I've never met a nice South African.'

(and they have a silly accent)

Hutch

That was kind of where I was heading in my questions too. Anyone, but anyone, but South Africa.

fraser

Sorry, anyone, but anyone but Australia

Hutch

Newsflash. You've emigrated to the wrong country.

fraser

Why if I was in SA and had to listen to them slagging us off I'd want the Aussies to win to shut them up, it's just good banter ammunition

Lewis Lapthorn

we've got the little brown urn mate. That, and the laughs their football team are gonna give us this summer is ammunition enough.

fraser

Mate no such thing as enough, make hay while the sun shines

renth

I expect we'll be seeing you in the Returning to the UK forum in about 18 months time. Why on earth are you coming here? the locals are not going to take kindly to your contempt of your adopted country's sporting team and its sports in gereral.

You and Thebears ought to get together because I can't see you making any other friends out here.

fraser

Why because I like living here, doesn't mean I have to like their sports or want to support their cricket team, in fact the more their team suffer makes my stay here more tenable as it stops them taking the piss out of England.

wengerboy

do you honestly think that there are no aussies that share the same contempt for their national team?
plenty of ill feeling toward them here over the last couple of months and in general IMO.
