Even as a non-cricket follower it was boring to hear Australia kept winning the cricket, so I agree that a bit of competition is a good thing!

I hasten to add that Welsh rugby no longer subscribes to this theory, and I don't think that Punter would be too happy with it either.</a> The Stereophonics (bless them) penned this wonderful little song for Welsh rugby supporters called “As long as we beat the English (we don’t care).” I’m sure that no one would mind if Australian cricket were to adopt it.

Hope Duminy's secured his place. Somebody at the ICC should be scheduling the next India-SA series *right now*; I'm almost more excited about it than I am the Ashes. Fantastic match, and series.
