Australia will never "NEVER" appear on the World scene with a winning round ball team. There just isn't an interest here outside of the Girls League, and a few xxxx

Mod Note: let's keep the racial terms out of the discussion, please

At least us from the Land Downunder are Still Speaking the English Language all be it modified, unlike the Languages being spoken in most Taxis and Shops when I was last in England. What Language will the Poms be learning next??

Unfortunately the Mods removed your comment which I didn't get to see.

You say Aust will never appear on the world stage with a winning team, time to pull your head out of the sand to see what is happening with youth sport throughout the country and what is most popular, the town I grew up in struggles to field its traditional rugby league team, one new Aussie rules team also struggles yet there are ten teams or more playing soccer and growing in numbers all the time, its where the majority of the kids are going.

Rest assured, the only unfortunate thing was the word removed.

Clucking bell, what do you mean next? It's taken me 23 years to master elementary Thai, khrap.

OK, let's put this into perspective, here's the rankings but where's the Netherlands?

ICC Test rankings

Source: BBC

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/27234114

1. Australia: 123 points

2. South Africa: 123

3. England: 104

4. Pakistan: 103

5. India: 102

6. New Zealand: 92

7. Sri Lanka: 90

8. West Indies: 76

9. Zimbabwe: 40

10. Bangladesh: 21

And it has taken Australia's Finest 5 years to get to the top spot.

Bugger me with a fishfork, I see the Australian ladies top the women's cricket ODI too.

Wow we have a real pissing contest here. Time for a fishfork - perhaps the real winners in cricket now are the Indians who increasingly control the game. I have a feeling this isn't going to be a good outcome.

I love the Aussie - Blighty banter, more so since I lost that chip on my shoulder.

How'd you whack that chip off Earnest? With a fishfork? Or did Thailand do it for you? Life in Thailand can be helpful. One helpful lesson from the Thais - mai bpen rai ...

I talk to the monks. Everyone deserves compassion, even Australian cricket fans.

I think its a well deserved climb back up there, beating the Boks at home, was the turn around from 14 months ago and flogged in India

Replacing the Coach
Inverarity as Chairman of Selectors made a few brave nods
Team focus instead of individuals clashing

As I still continue to eat my humble Johnson Pie !

congrats to Rod Marsh as new Chairman of Selectors , but thought he was going to Coach the Poms ??

Mods, Who is going to issue a yellow card to Sir Jack of Spratshire for not moving this topic to the World Sports Heading.

He might be having a seniors moment or in NSW right now, a complete melt down.

Post by **Barney** » May 2, 2014, 6:29 pm

Yes Wazza, just add another to the list of number 1's, for crap politicians and muck raking.
Glad I will most likely never pay for them again.

wazz, I suggest you focus upon the ubiquitous "downunder" when whinging to the Mods - after all, he was the geographically challenged OP. :-"

IF I am ubiquitous Sir Jack Spratshire what does that makes you. You are like Pepper and Salt, on every Thread giving your so called expert opinion that you look up and then cut and paste. You are Australia's number one. A case of the Pot calling the kettle Black
