I'm an Expat Brit Living in Australia. I have served both countrys in their respective Defence Force's. I always back Australia and the UK in any International Arena. So when its Australia V'S England all I ask for is a damn good contest and be damned who wins
I'm glad in away that English cricket is on the rise ( Finaly ) but sad that it was at our expense. But the good thing is this will only make the Australian's more determind. Every so often a swift kick in the pants does wonders! I freely admit I'm not an avard cricket fan like some here, even after I use to play for Fremantle Mercantile. All that realy matters to me is that the Lads in white do the best they can on the day and lets all see a game of cricket at its best - Australia V's England. It dont get any better than that.
I'm fortunate that 2 of my mates are very close to some of the Legens of Australian Cricket. 1 was an A Grade Umpire and the other knows a few via the Fish an Tackel trade ( seems some of our lads are keen fisherman ). So on the rare occasion I bump into these living legends and even they agree, its been a long road for English cricket and its now good for Australia to have some 1 worthy come up to bat.
