Was talking on the phone over Christmas to a buddy of mine in Australia , an Accy web member born and bred in Ossy , he's been in Australia for 25 yrs+ , seems its some sort of new tradition to for the English fans (recent chav immigrants from the UK) to wear English football team shirts at a cricket match . Do the cricket fans visiting the West End or Enfield grounds wear Stanley ,Rovers or Dingle shirts

Not sure Steeljack.. but I'm sure the "new chav immigrants" from the UK will keep up the tradition of convicts and scumbags from the Mother Country making up the population of Australia.

It also doesn't say he's a bloody bad loser either

[Bernard Dawson]

I don't know if anyone ever saw Ponting in his prime. But he was one hell of good bat. He was one of the few batsman I would have paid money to go and watch. One of the best in the world without any doubt.

In the Ashes series in 2005, England would have won more decisively had not been for Ponting. I saw him at Old Trafford get a big ton, on not that good a wicket, to stop us winning that match.

He's still a bad loser, can give it but can't take it, only sings when he's winning

But he's Australian, they don't like losing especially to us. Although I thought he's comments after the match were almost magnanimous.

Glad you said almost Bernard

[walkinman221]

I admire him as a cricketer, but as a sportsman and a person during a match i think he is an obnoxious,whinging,slimy,rat faced little git

[cashman]

Well i quite like the guy, after all he's lost em the ashes more n any other captain, carry on ricky.
