That's how they get all of their decent sporting athletes.

[perthstormer]

to tell you the truth they are a bit like the aussies they dont mind poaching a few of there champ from overseas just like kosta zu. They have Lenox Lewis (canadian). But then again when your as bad as them at sport you need all the hekp you can get lol. Byr saying that they are starting to turn the table on a few things Union, cricket, I dont think they will ever turn it around in Football(soccer).

Some interesting cricket in the pyjamas... now for the real stuff to begin!

[perthstormer]

what a start to the ashes I hope it stays like this

[thinga87]

Same old England then?

Only Pietersen, Flintoff and Harmison are any good. Even then Pietersen has some massive technical flaws in his battling...

Fancy dropping all those catches! The keeper is a deadset Neville!

McGrath aiming for fourth Test return after freak fall
Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath hopes to be fit in time for the fourth Test against England after a bizarre injury ruled him out of the second match of the series at Edgbaston.

The spearhead of Australia's attack trod on a cricket ball laid out on the outfield for one of the team's pre-match fielding drills an hour-and-a-quarter before the start, as he turned to pick up a rugby league ball.

He tore ligaments in his right ankle and was left lying on the turf receiving treatment for several minutes before his team-mates helped him into a buggy
