[b]At last a great post
Of course, enjoyment in sport. The banter, the facts, the opinions.
As for the betting, you can always make up 'victories' after the event on these forums!!

Hi there Aussies
Watching Australia's thrilling batting on this last morning.
The ground is empty! Without the Brit 'Barmy Army' would literally be a wilderness
Sad
Why don't Aussies turn up to watch cricket?
Stir

Luck, KA? The one time we have rain in this series is when England are pushing for a win!
No rain around on the last couple of days in any of the first 3 Tests
Still, only 2 results possible here, and neither of them are an Aussie win. 5-0 it isn't going to be.
Rain had little to do with it

Which records is he chasing? Surely Bradman holds all Aussie batting records, apart from MOST runs or centuries in entire career, as The Don only played 50 or so Tests.
Nice record for Cook. . . highest score ever, in all Tests, for an opener carrying his bat. You'd like that in your cv

Originally posted by @roma45No reason really.Just when I talk to football supporters of which I am not one they nearly all say Scottish football is boring.Don't know why.Perhaps there aren't as many overpaid pri madonna's playing up there pretending to be injured
At least it's only 90 minutes of boredom
Not four days including tea breaks
Why say Scottish football instead of football ?
