Now Marty,
Play nice.
The lads can't halp it if they can't hit the ball. And as for the Umpires.. They are a bunch of whimps. They should not be allowed to ask for second and third opinions. If they say someone is out, they should be dash well out. In the old days the Umpire was BOSS. what he said was law. No maby-pambying a round taking half an hour to make a decision or having three umpires. Now a days even three umpires isn't enough - they have to use new fangelled electronic detectors etc. and they still get it wrong sometimes. I used to sit on the edge of my seat and watch enery ball, now I listen to the cricket in the background while I do something interesting like macrme. (if I don't fall asleep that is.)
I have never tried to conceal my disdane for football. I won't go as far as saying Cricket is almost as bad because it is still the gentemant game. However, I hope we can find a better combination to make up the team for the next competition. Ponting, well I don't have any feelings either way. I do like the fact that they are giving some young players a go. Cross your fingers. Now, I'm going to get the washing off the line. The cricket can go without me.
