    The Australian bobsleigh team have asked the Aussie cricket team for a meeting. They want to ask their advice about going downhill so fast!


    What’s the difference between Ricky Ponting and a funeral director? A funeral director doesn’t keep losing the ashes.


    What do you call an Australian with a champagne bottle in his hand? A waiter.


    Of everyone in the Aussie team, who spends the most time at the crease? The woman who irons their cricket whites.


    What’s the height of optimism? An Aussie batsman putting on sunscreen.


    What is the main function of the Australia coach? To transport the team from the hotel to the ground.


    On his way out into the middle to bat, Ricky Ponting gets a call from his wife and teammate Michael Hussey tells her he’s heading out to the middle. His wife replies: “I’ll hold, he won’t be long!”


    What’s the difference between an Aussie batsman and a Formula 1 car? Nothing! If you blink you’ll miss them both.


    Who has the easiest job in the Australian squad? The guy who removes the red ball marks from the bats.


    What do Aussie batsmen and drug addicts have in common? Both spend most of their time wondering where their next score will come from.


    What did the spectator miss when he went to the toilet? The entire Australian innings.


    What’s the Australian version of LBW? Lost, Beaten, Walloped.


    What does Ricky Ponting put in his hands to make sure the next ball is almost certainly going to be a wicket? A bat.


    What do you call a cricket field full of Australians ? A vacant lot.

 ;D ;D

BRILLIANT caminito (did you think those up?) ;D ;D ;D ;D

And a very exciting first T20 as well. I've loved having Aussie visitors to the caves but having said that they have all been very praiseworthy of our team and the way we've played. 8)

Well done Australia! They have finally beaten England in a game of cricket, even though only a T20. Our batting was pathetic and we deserved to lose. >:( >:(

Hi Chris. There are three main cricket formats.

The Test Match. This is a five day match with each team having two "innings" - batting until all 11 members are out one way or another. This is the original format of the game.

The One Day match. Each team has 50 overs (6 balls/over) to try to bowl the other team out.

The T20 or 20/20. Each team has just twenty overs (120 balls) to try to get the other team out. This is a bit like baseball where the batting side just hits as many runs as they can in the 20 overs. A modern, Wham Bam thank you Mam sort of game.

Only as a fill-in. My Mother loved to watch it but I can take it or leave it. My second sport is rugby union, looking foward to the Six Nations shortly.

Used to play rugby for the Navy and field hocky and cricket for the town. Now just watch. Mind you, only stopped the cricket last year when it made my chest feel uncomfortable following a stent insert so common sense said STOP!
