Actually, I never watched the first Test. I'm not really that great a cricket fan.Still, I do like watching it every once in a while as I soon get into it. Normally, though,it's  usually a thing to have on as background , haha.

Yeah, a week is a long time in cricket, maybe. Let's hope their bubble gets burst....but, then again, the one or two sports they excel in constitute the basis of their whole national identity so I tend to give them some slack.It's not as if they are over abundant with achievements in Arts, science, literature, philosophy etc etc etc ( hehehhe, that'll get their backs up).Every nation has to contribute something to the human good, I guess. So the odd swimmer or cricketer or, at times, a rugby player adds something to the mix.Not a lot but something hehehe.

 You know, the OZ's being so young, uncertain and insecure and all.... you sort of forgive them their loud-mouthed bragging....most of the time anyway

All in jest, all in jest....
