ah, bliss

But your cricket team isn't that much chop - -we'll show you next year - after we win the ICC champions trophy (I hope).

We can afford to let you win the rugby world cup because we are the only nation to have won it twice! It would be selfish after all! Come on AUSSIE! Considering you're not going to win any of the internationals on the current tour. 3 spankings by NZ and Oz!

Can't remember Hewitt being whooped by Henman at all. How does the Queens championships sound? Henman lost the final to Hewitt how many years in a row? Head to head I don't think Henman has ever beaten Hewitt - has he? I am prepared to be corrected on this. Hewitt was world number 1 for over a year - 18 mths I think ... Henman's highest ranking is 5th ... he's an also-ran!!!

Rugby is the sport! I love it, love playing it, love watching it. Although, despite the current Ferrari domination I still like watching the F1 .... although I would watch all 5 days of a test match if given the opportunity (and a beer fridge).

Just so I bite hard enough for you JB ....

Oh gawd looks like another burgeoning whinging Aussie

We're always accused of being whinging poms but the worst culprit with a BA Hons in whinging had to be Nick Farr-Jones. In fact some Aussie mates of mine were embarressed by his inane protestations. At least Campese had the (bad) grace to eat humble pie.

BTW - I wouldn't give the Aus cricket team a farts chance in a bush fire at the moment :P:P:P

You think that's bad David, you should hear him when he's had a few drinks

Antonye.........is that TP or NFJ ?



BTW .......bout time us lot up west got together with you lot out east again soon...............ought to organise another meet at London Central.

[antonye]

Definitely - we've got the Popham mega meet to look forward to anyway.

It's turning into a busy year so far with all the trackdays, trips and meetings!

Gotta love the DSC

[Mark]

and maybe factory trip at end of year?

[antonye]

SSSShhhhush! Don't get everyone excited...


































....but yes, I will organise something...

[TP]

I'm up for the factory trip ...

NFJ is a bit of a carry on ... but hey, I wasn't whingeing - merely defending my nationality!! Every country has their whingers ... it was good to see Campo eating humble pie though. I still try and emulate his goosestep when I'm playing ... got a try earlier in the year through that one!

Why don't you rate the Aussie cricket team? We are having a few fast bowling issue's at the moment but the fielding is second to none, the batting is second to none ... after you get Hayden, Ponting etc out .. Gilchrist walks in!!! Must be demoralising!

..........ah but we've got Steve Harmison.........rated probably best fast bowler in the world today.

And some great newbies...........some old........e.g. Saggers.........and some young........e.g. Strauss.

Gotta say I'm very happy with England's cricket team at the mo..........
