muzzaDid Someone Mention Cricket ?
No , not the insect version , the bat and ball , leather-on-willow game played by two teams of eleven players.
The game formerly ruled by Australia - but , alas , no more .....
Sorry Aussies , but 16 years at the top is enough for any team. Time for a change , methinks ...
Well done , South Africa.

Now if NZ could just learn to play, maybe we would see a few more good games...

muzzaNah - the differance is , that after so much practice , we have learned to be gracious in defeat...
I have no doubt that Aussie will rise to the top of the cricket world again , but its nice to see someone else there for a while too.

PeterYeah, but you guys cheat:
Yeah I remember those plastic boxes with holes in them.
As Lloyd said when he was recalling the incident:
"They were completely unfit for the job they werent meant to perform"
He also described the aftermath of the Thompson delivery thus:
" There was more of my scrotum on the outside of the box than there was on the inside"
God the eyes are watering just thinking about it!!!
Peter.
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

gryphon1Pray tell where does the cheating come into it?
As far as Thommo...."god bless him"

Not our fault that Clive Lloyd needed a milk crate, not a box...
