Well said, that man. Unfortunately though it has quite a lot to do with that other bunch of colonial misfits down under.

Good luck, I`ll check back in a couple weeks to see how you are doing.

The game is not completely foreign to Canadians. The fastest century in world cup cricket was scored by a Canadian in 2002. John Davison scored 111 off 67 balls against the Windies.

Opps I forgot Boxing Day in Australia was today in a normal country. Well, lets have it. 135/0. They got bowled out for 98. Up yours.

I knew it was last night. I thought I'd do something bizarre like watching cricket from Australia, on the computer, in Canada, on Christmas night.

But I forgot.:o

Probably just as well though. With wickets tumbling I'd have stayed up too late and not been up for the footie this morning.

My brother was there, it sounds like it was a fabulous day's play and that the atmosphere was amazing among the English fans :thumbsup:

We're going to watch the highlights later and look out for him - he was wearing his Sheffield United shirt (and apparently got chatting to another Blades fan)

I didnt forget. I watched the Aussie wickets tumble one by one with pleasure. Couldnt ask for a finer end to Christmas day than this.

The Aussie fans are a really sad lot. They all buggered off when they started losing. :thumbdown:

They only sing when they are winning.

I think it is fair to say that it was a satisfactory day of cricket.

If singing means bleating "Siddle Siddle" or "Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi" then yes :D

I thought Ponting was disgraceful when he argued with the umpire. :thumbdown:

Earlier I was monitoring the gruaniad's OBO but I went out for a smoke when it was 277-7 or so.

When I got back we'd won the Ashes.

And the nannies tell us smoking is bad for you.

Ashes to ashes.

Choking with laughter isn't very good either.:eek:
