JPA 0 #1 December 13, 2002 After a dismal start to the one-day cricket in Australia the bleeding poms are finally showing some form. So far 2/119 from 21 overs. They're only delaying the inevitable however, once Slater and Gilchrist get behind the crease the annihilation will begin and the rampant lion will go back to where it belongs, lying wounded on the pitch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quatorze 1 #7 December 13, 2002 Quote Rugby .... now we're talking Come now Kerry, we all know that the only reason you like rugby is the short shorts the players wear and the fact that there is a formation called a "scrum" I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JPA 0 #9 December 13, 2002 The gauntlet has been thrown down. The tourists finished up with 251 with 2 wickets in hand. Unfortunately I have to go watch a years worth of Aussie BASE action on a big screen TV at a beach-front pub so I can't watch the rest of the game. All we need is some quick flashes of the bat and the poms can continue with their proud tradition of humiliation at the hands of Australians Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's lucky, though...one guy on his team broke his neck in the scrum...and then broke it again after he healed and returned. My dad stopped playing last year, so my sister is the only rubgy player left in the family. I'm altogether too much of a wuss. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
