I don't suppose many people know about AFL (Australian Football League). The finals are on now, but my team isn't in it anyway.

I also like cricket, but I don't suppose many people know about it either. Not much to talk about then.

Yeah, the tests are boring, but they one dayers are good. I have been to a few and its so much fun. Everyone chants and throws around beach balls and throws stuff on the ground and gets drunk.

Especially since us Aussies are so good.

the getting drunk attracts me. yeah i can see the attraction of been at the stadium you get all the atmophear (if there is any the english tend to be a bit more reserved).

the only sport we get real passionate for seems to be football.

Speaking of which david seaman retire you useless long haired goalkeep if sven plays him

Nasser Hussein says the only English Test ground where the supporters give the touring side some grief is Headingley, that's probably why we usually do ok there (this year excepted!). As a lot of nations give English teams grief (especially the cons) I think it's our job to do the same, with interest, when they're over here.

Seaman seems to have a real problem with catching a flighted ball. Bit of problem that, when you're a goalie!

Professional sport in the US is so commercial.

Okay, so they may not have sent out their best players, but we still came fourth, not sixth. Hoo! Haa! Who's the bomb? New Zealand!
