the cricket

I s'pose all us aussies are happy now we have cat o'nine tailed them pommies. Goodness knows what hyperbole the advertisers are going to use next year when India comes out for a four test series. If this recent Ashes series was the series to end all series, the most anticipated cricket match since the dawn of civilisation, then how do you get the crowds in next year? We were sold a dummy this time, am I going to buy another used car off the same salesman?
I would love to have been proved wrong. I kept my money and didn't buy a ticket. But I've got no sympathy for the suckers who paid for a 100 overs game the other night in Perth and went home after about 50 overs. The emperor never had any clothes on when he left Heathrow at the end of October. How on earth you expected him to get a full wardrobe for 16 players in the space of a 24 hour trip leaves me astounded that we try to kid ourselves about the "clever country."
Australia is just too good. But this is no good for international cricket. We are arrogant too. There was no need for Ponting to add his snide comment to the poor pommie whinging about our arrogance. Leave him be. Say nothing. He's lost his pride, what more do you want to take from him Ricky?
