Sat Tv, I have to state that either you didnāt see the date of my post, or I misunderstand your first post today in this thread. My original point was quite clearly: 1) not written today, and B) most obviously a point that Austalia were (up until today) playing lunatic cricket.
Only a very very small fraction of Australians are fortunate enough to be able to trace their ancestry from the original convict settlers, and they wear that as a badge of pride. The rest tend to be ex-Poms (or other Europeans, and more recently half of eastern, southern and western Asia).
So stop A) complimenting him, and B) engaging in such a cultural cringe, thatās me boy Tom. Thanks.
Poms are looking good at the moment. This game can go either way. Itās not going to be a draw. Iāll support the poms just to see the ungracious expression on Pontingās ugly little lemon face.
I expect England to lose their last seven wickets for 50 or 60 more runs this morning, and the ozzers to lose a couple of wickets cheaply at the start of their second innings, but scrape their way to a one or two wicket win with big contributions from Ponting and North.
