Funny how the ones who are the first to remind Aussies that they come from English stock also say any alleged sookiness is in the genes...

C'mon Robi, tell us all again how the only reason we (aussies) don't rate Twenty20 is because you (Robi) like it.

Could do with a larf.

Yep ...hilarious.
Wasn't me that alleged that about descendancy though; I know different!

OK merlin, the pressure's on. Come up with a real gem for your 7K...

No pressure, Zat ... I'm cool (rigid after 7 hours cricket yesterday though!)
I try to limit my posts to those necessitating a reply, or as part of a wind up.
Yours fell into both categories!

That is a distortion of what I actually said about Australians and T20, which was already fully explored by Lee and me.

How so? You said you wondered how much of 'Aussie' attitudes towards Twenty20 have been formed by the ‘English’ embrace of the format.

You basically said the only reason we don't like it is cos you won the Ashes.

Which ever way you look at it, that’s a pathetic view to hold.

ROFL@the zatty memory

Maybe Mister R is somehow related to Waboy ...posts are =ly stoopid (btw sheikh i have finally come to the conclusion that you are not waboy)

Zat,

If you examine those two statements you will see that "good old-fashioned Pom-bashing" does not have the same meaning as "because you (Robi) like it".

I am a single person whereas 'Poms' number about 40 million people.

That is the essence of the distortion.

The set {Robi} does not equal the set {Poms}.

Aye.

But most Aussies dislike t20 because it's crap. not because the English, or more specifically one Englishman, invented it.

But you raised the point in the first place, so perhaps your guilt is showing.

This is the conclusion reached by tailender and I last week.

It's the conclusion reached by most Aussies ages before that, yet you raised the 'english invention' spectre...

Well, so what? I'm not right 100% of the time.

Indeed.

Thanks, but I've already eaten.

For the record, it's isn't just Aussies (plural) who dislike the t20 crap!
Us Middlesex supporters have a 100 pct record in the t20 competition this season.
Played 7 Lost 7. What fun ....not!

A stupid pyjama game with loud music, pseudo-excited commentators, hamburger stalls selling ecoli cheaply, beer tents willing to take £50 notes for a pint and a general apathy from a disinterested audience whose only previous interest in cricket was when disecting them during their A level entomology lessons!
