Some time ago the statement was made by Sir Michael Parkinson that the Australian cricket team were great sportsmen but bad sports. There are any number of examples that support this statement, and now we have the Australians bleating about Shane Watson being bumped by a batsman whilst making a run. I thought the onus was on the bowler to leave a clear path for the batsman. Now the Australian team are proving to be beatable, it seems the bad sportsmanship is coming to the fore.

I just thought I would introduce this subject and see if we could get off the financial debacle and maybe stir the blood about something other than politics and politicians. By the way, just to really make matters worse, I am English.
