Grrrrrrr

The only thing worse than having both the Ashes and the Tour on in the middle of the night (and thus developing RSI in my channel-switching fingers) is having Australia do well in the cricket.

I love 99.7% of things Australian, but it is not within me to love the cricket team.

Actually, that's not wholly true, the women's team is lovely.

What's wrong with the men's cricket team?

Lovely like lovely? I could use some eye candy right now.

*pats you* I had to watch a Daniel O'Donnel DVD at work yesterday. I would have preferred cricket, and I really don't like cricket.

Yeah, what's wrong with the men's cricket team? I don't even get to see cricket over here at all - I get bored by the football they think they play (don't you have to use your feet to play football; shouldn't American 'gridiron' be called handball?)

I don't watch the cricket in the first place. But why you would stay up til all hours watching it is beyond me!

And I second empress_jae, you need to go to bed!!

I suppose at least it's not in Australia this time?

The boyfriend and I were at the Adelaide match on Australia Day last time and it was so miserable - even the Aussies around us were cheering on England in the hope of seeing a bit of decent cricket. But no, it was all over before tea time.

*sigh*

I get where you are coming from. I actually don't mind a spot of cricket but the off-field antics of some of the players on the mens team has left not wanting to watch it.
