    Apparently he can bowl a bit as well. And he's training as a lawyer. Talented lad.

    And that's one of the reasons why cricket is the only sport I care about.

    The rural aussies are ok. in fact they are excellent, with a lot of crocodile dundee type attitudes, but the city folk are truly awful.

    Yep but they can't hold their drink; you can't get a bottle of wine in Aus for less than about 30 dollars because the government's on such a desperate battle against drunkenness that they're prepared to sabotage their own agriculture with enormous taxes.

    One of them can ride a bike, but only after they disqualified Vicky Pendleton because the Aussie woman fell off.

    Definitely good at that; Aus has now become the PC capital of the world. They used to be a bit rough, but refreshingly honest and pretty good at sport (maybe those things are related), now it's an 'elf and safety obsessed materialistic overpriced dump and they're tulipe at sport.
