Hmmm...


Australia trailed England by just 59 runs with eight first innings wickets in hand at the close of the first day of the third Ashes cricket Test at close of play on the first day. Replying to England's total of 185, Australia reached the close of play at 126 for two with Ricky Ponting not out 43 and Damien Martyn unbeaten on 20.
...
Australia won the first two Tests and only need to win one of the remaining three to win the Ashes for a record eighth time in succession. - Reuters

That's right, divert attention, won't save you though as the Aussies set the records in your own back yard.

crush - probably true, esp. if they think most of what you say must be good because they can't understand it.
CT - you also got a speech defect?

Doesn't stop me not giving a flying (insert naughty F word in here ) about cricket.

I used to play it before anyone goes on about me knowing nothing about it

Scrap the cricket team and get more people into football and rugby

Little Johnny was in his Kindergarten class
when the teacher asked the children what their
fathers did for a living. All the typical answers
came up - fireman, policeman, salesman.

Johnny was being uncharacteristically
quiet, and so the teacher asked him about his father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men."

The teacher hurriedly set the other children to work on some colouring in and took little Johnny aside to ask him "Is that really
true about your father working in a gay strip club?"
"No," said Johnny, "he really plays test cricket for England but I was too embarrassed to say."
