But according to your media we're in form because we scored loads against some chicken farmers from the ACT.

Funny how more was made of "The Big Show" scoring a 130odd in a losing team that Bell smashing 180odd. I'm sure that even his ego would admit he would rather have won.

Poor old Hawkesy.
I'm not playing anymore and I'm taking my ball and going home.

I heard we won, even though we didnt try that much? Good for the WC warm ups I suppose. GIAE, any issues with our team, captain, commentators this week?

Morgan not getting MOM - whinge, didn't do enough to win

Warner in trouble AGAIN - if he did something wrong, he'll get fined (minor matter) or suspended (more than minor matter)

So now my opinion on who should have won the MOM is a whinge.

He has been fined.

No

So the best player has to be from the winning team?

Personally I don't think the best player has to be on the winning team, but over the years have heard commentators say things like "if they'd have won he'd have got man of the match" and thought it really shouldn't matter who won.

I actually agree, but its rare. I don't usually even care who gets man of the match award - its a team game. Just a matter of accepting the "umpire's" decision.

Seeing as you accuse me of bias and whingeing, how is it racist to tell someone to speak English. The irony though is that the Indian probably speak it better than the convicts.

It was decided to not give it an official language as it was so obvious.

I am English in an English speaking country. If you're going to insult me in any other language then you should have the balls to say it so I can understand it

I must say I was grateful when in South Europe last year, almost everyone spoke/responded in English to me, as I only knew swear words or words like "beer" or "money" or "where's the toilet."

Have found the same, so many people speak English in other countries. Thats their prerogative.
