Cricket

England def. Australia,by 3 wickets limited overs match.
BANGLADESH def Australia, by 5 wickets limited overs match
SOMERSET def Australia, by 4 wickets limited overs
England def Australia, 100 runs in Twenty20 International

England have a damn fine team and losing to them is not so bad. I can understand losing at Twenty20 International because it's not played here yet, but to lose to Somerset? And Bangladesh? Australian captain Ricky Ponting told reporters he said "some words" to his team mates. I don't think many of them would be printable in nice journals.

My dad's over there right now, stalking following the team and offering to fill in. If they get any worse, they'll probably ask him!

But, by gum, they will be just the thing for stripping paint off the shed, blistering varnish and sanding rust off the water tank. :p

I have to say I was suprised and pleased at the England results, we've had little to celebrate in cricket until very recently and the team seems to be coming along nicely. But I was still suprised, I was hoping for a good show but I didn't actually expect to beat you!


And as for the Bangladesh result! O_O I don't know how that happened.

I mean, I was actualy at the second England v Bangladesh testmatch, they were abominable! Bangladesh are one of the worst teams I've ever seen.

I was wondering if we'd accidently sent the Townsville Under-12's instead of the Australian team, but the faces seem to be familiar.
