Amusing and genteel? I hardly think Ian Botham was genteel and what's his face the batter who was so particular and picky that no one could ever get him out but he never made any runs... he was very genteel, but hardly amusing. ;p

My folks had Mark (Mike)(whatever his name is) Atherton staying at their place when he was here in the English junior side. Not too many years before he became captain.

Besides, us Aussies have to overcome our convict background you know, and wipe the floor with the Poms at every opportunity just to stick it up 'em.

;p

PS: It'd be nice if I could spell - must be the lack of education because I was so busy not being a convict and whipping Pommy arse at netball. ;p

(I love you, really)
