Weak? C'mon you saw the way Anderson and Finn flung the bat around - they were fantastic...

They even managed to beat old faithful 'Extras' on the scoreboard ('Extras' should in my opinion be moved up the batting order - clearly he's one of the better players)

Tail enders flinging the bat do not a World Cup winning team make

I'm a great fan of Mr Sundries, I score for our team after my invariably brief journey to the middle as an opener and Widesy is a very popular team member

Not popular enough yesterday, 105 batting first is not a great score at any level, but I'd rather play and lose than let a previously washed-out game go by.

Glad you got to go eventually, it's not a bad place to watch a game and as you said, the organisation is pretty good.

That's because we Aussies take the view that if you're going to have a piss-weak beer or dodgy hotdog, it's best to get the experience over and done with as soon as possible.
