Much more fun than watching England play cricket for sure!
I can't imagine a whole lot that isn't more fun than watching England play cricket.
Of course, we as a nation take pride in mocking those who sent us here on the convict ships. It's a perverse sort of pride that I understand oh so well.
Actually your team are enthusiastic, and fun to watch - and can now claim to be one of the best 16 of the 220+ nations with national teams - not bad eh?
We can say that about practically every sport there is, mainly because it's rare to have more than sixteen contenders for a sport. I do think that, purely from a statistical point of view, Australia is the greatest sporting nation in the world. Something to do with a twenty million population dominating an impressive number of popular sports. Of course, I'm hardly equipped to deal with this sort of discussion. My aversion to sport and beer make me a cultural outcast. Why, if I didn't drink bourbon I imagine I'd never get invited anywhere.
