I'm usually no great cricket fan because of all the cheating, corruption, and drug abuse involved, though the bars were always open longer for Essex games and one could sleep nicely, but I really must Congratulate Bangeladesh for achieving a monumental win against the sloths from daan under, innit.

We finally won our first match of the season today after a series of close things and rank bad luck. The day has been made even sweeter by Bangladesh!
Thanks lads.

Has there been a mention anywhere that we lost the boxing as well?

Maybe because in life the media condition people into accepting belief that there are few 'winners' lots of people have disliked Aussies winning a lot by being good/tough.
Nice thing about some sport is that occasionally someone else wins - e.g. England/Somerset C.C. and now derided Bangladesh.
For me, I equally enjoyed as Somerset supporter Scotland beating us just after we'd done Australia.
Possibly lots of people grab onto 'winner's' coat-tails - e.g. Arse-MUt in footie - for happy ride to joy, etc. Perhaps Aussie supporters can now start to appreciate other teams a bit more.

As an ex-Deshi it was a brief respite from the stream of humiliation that will no doubt continue.

Just to finish things, man can the Oz whine about loosing the Netball. Yes Netball. Not that I admit to watching it but can the Oz carry on when they loose, blaming everyone but themselves.
? Sore loosers!
