India takes down England again...

**Alexanderofmacedon** · 11-18-2008, 04:51

So what do you English and Aussies think? India has taken them both down twice recently (in cricket) and I'm wondering if we have any fans here?

Yes....backroom for nationality purposes

Hind, Hind, Hind!

India trounced England in both matches

Why is this in the backroom!
It should be condemned to a dark and musty vault somewhere!

We've lost most of our good players down here and we I think we are between generations. Our last generation of Warne, McGrath and our other big names have recently retired, but our new generation of younger talent are coming up. WIthin 5 or so years Australia will be number one again.

I take it this is about some sort of sporting activity.....

Ugh, Cricket. I have tried to find more boring sport once but gave up after several months.

I'm not seeing how European or American football can be worse than cricket.

Including Shane 'Girly Boy' Watson in the team? Even my Aussie friends admit he's overrated. Or Shaun Tait, giving away 5 wides every 2nd ball? Cameron White with his 'huge' batting talent? Punter the petulant child, who puts himself before the team?

...

Shaun Marsh I'll grant you but he's not in the team, and Krezja might become something eventually, although I maintain that he was lucky in the last test against India.

And a more effeminate sport than American football? AFL...
