bolty58 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 You know if Oz won every game till July and England lost every game they still would not be above us in the test rankings 7 months of living easy down there my friend Pato, you will be greatly surprised that hardly anyone wants to discuss cricket with me down here at present I have an annoying Saturday approaching (Jan 14th) where I have to attend the WACA to entertain 5 clients from our biggest customer. Australia v India. My company has paid 10 grand to stage this and it involves the full day - champagne breakfast, brunch, luch, dinch and dinner with as much as we can drink of top shelf beers, wine, spirits etc. As a none too keen cricket fan (except when England play Australia), the prospect of a wasted day when I could be doing summat I enjoy does not fill me with joy. A wasted day on which I expect to get very wasted.
Traf Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Hopefully you'll get to see Sachin's ton of tons.

pato Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 FEck me they are the worse losers, Peter Siddle tweeted who says Boxing Day cricket is dead, they lose one to the best test team in the world and PAH
bolty58 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I have always said (to them) that they are the worlds most loathsome, gloating winners and ingracious losers. They will never change. It probably has contributed to their success but we English always hold the moral high ground - something that they are acutely aware of. If I happen to see the 'ton of tons', let's hope it is part of an Indian victory.
