Well, at least we won the Ashes the last time we played at home for them. I just wish I could have seen it live. America is a fine place to live, but you can't get live test matches on TV here so, in that sense at least, it really is a desperately uncivilized country. It's incredible to think that the first international cricket match (in fact the first international sporting contest of any kind in the modern era) was between the US and Canada and took place on Long Island - I mean you'd think that they'd have some reverence for their place in cricket's history.
