No chance, even though you're 6 down now... It says a lot for English cricket, but losing by only 4 wickets seems like a moral victory to us these days!

You don't think that we could finally get a win on Australia day...................do you? Confused

No better day to get revenge on us than today, Mark.

Something's going on. Freddie Flintoff has been quoted on the radio as being "confident of causing an upset". The Australian camp is very worried.

You're right, Steve, only 8-1 would really upset the Aussies wouldn't it? Big Grin

Sung to the tune of the Australian national anthem:

Australians all let us re-joice
For we are young and free
The Eng-lish team can't seem to stop
Those Au-ssie vic-to-ries

In wild eyed rant.......


....."We are the best in the world! We are the best in the world! We have beaten Australia at cricket! It is completely unbelievable! We have beaten Australia! Australia, birthplace of giants. Alexander Fleming, Sir Hughie Edwards, Sir Henry Parkes, Kylie Minogue, Dame Edna Everage, Sir Donald Bradman, Germaine Greer, Ned Kelly, Phar Lap, Mel Gibson, Rupert Murdoch, Rolf Harris, Paul Hogan, Angus Young, Nicole Kidman - we have beaten them all. John Howard can you hear me ......your boys took one hell of a beating! Your boys took one hell of a beating!"
