Very unstable politically. Too many PMs coming too fast for me. We will probably be going  to the polls again soon. Most Aussies are getting jack of it.  >:(

You should try being here mate. No news other than bloody Brexit and that's a political farce.
There's not much interest in sport on here, other than a couple of folk.

True Zooney.. Perhaps we now don't play sport ourselves but it does improve watching experience if you yourself played.
    When Shinty, golf and tennis would have laughed at me, I began bowling, it looks Luke warm but great to send a destroyer into a head and scatter woods far and wide.😇

We are told that most of our trade is with europe, and we certainly see quite a few trucks going and coming that way, but we see many more trucks going to and from the seaports where the huge container ships come in from China.

Sorry about that Dave I enjoyed the game. Good contest but we should win at home.
 Given the history of sport and our two countries, God Bless 'em, you've kicked our arses more times than we've kicked yours,(arguably) but it used to be boring watching the Aussies win every time. A more equal competition these days. You and I both know that sports are generational. A great team comes together, in whatever field, and it breeds a generation of committed youngsters until other countries catch on. We were lucky enough to get Eddie Jones as a coach, after you guys had 'given' him to Japan, whose methods seemed to suit our psychology and we started winning properly. Now he's going, who knows, but I'm looking forward to the Summer's cricket. ;D

Well stated, Zoony. Yes, looking forward to the cricket as well. Oz is beginning a new era of rebuilding. Some of the blokes I've never heard of. Personally, I think Smith and Warner should never wear the baggy green again- disgraceful!!! You know what sport is like though- very forgiving. We've had South Africa and India here- but you wouldn't know it.... Cheers, Dave.

Ne'er mind Dave, your ladies embarrassed our ladies for the World T20 title so maybe that's the future for Aussie sport. ::) ;D
I completely agree about the cheats.

Nope. I have no time for wealthy, spoiled, cheat-if-you-can-get-away-with-it prima donnas. I seem to recall he married an actress, pretty girl who's name escapes me.

Call him all the names you like, but he was still a sportsman - fact !
