Saintsfan Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 It's pretty safe to say that no one outside of England (or wherever else they follow cricket) cares about that winning streakmaybe, saintsfan, what's the talk aroudn in England about the cricket side winning? there isn't really anything about it in Australia. Just a few news pieces here and there.... a bit more recently since they have got the 8 game record (don't celebrate till you win 17 in a row!) and now it is Cricket season over here.... Its kind of strange but I think cricket has been losing popularity steadily for maybe 20 yrears, so its not created the kind of excitement it could have. Also 7 of the victories this year have been against one of the worst west indies teams ever, so you have to be realistic as to what it means.Doesn't look like the streak will go beyond 8 anyway! England havd a bad day in day 1 of the next test against South Africa today. And the Aussies are still a street ahead of England IMO. If McGrath and Warne got injured for the Ashes nexyt year we might stand a chance, but other than that I wouldn't back againsyt Australia just yet. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I like the fact England and Australia play a test for a small urn containing actual ashes of a bail, although, now they just play for a trophy. It's still quite interesting. For a while I thought they were playing for the ashes of a dead person.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashes_series I saw, I came, I left.

winters in buffalo Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Janet Jackson's boobs.Kidding. It was the Red Sox. In fact, I'd say that it was the biggest sports story in a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampman Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Overall the Red Sox win was the biggest story...But was it the biggest to me? No...But I still voted for it as that was the question... Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."
