You guys don't need another boring sport, you have a perfectly good brain dead one of your own. We like ours, thank you. It is perfectly pitched for beer drinking, low key chatting and slacking off work (sorry, mate, can't come into today. Got the dreaded lurgie.) and then taking off for cricket. Meanwhile, cricket is the national language of some expats in the United States. Whenever we stay at an Indian run hotel or restaurant, or meet someone from the West Indies, they'll tentatively ask whether we are Aussies. That is an ice breaker, creating friendships wherever we go. Their grimaces turn into smiles ... By the way, like your mix of links to eclectic blogs. Good stuff.

The two players involved are legends. David Boon - fondly known as the "short backward square from Tasmania" is probably not cool per se, although his stoic ruggedness has given him cult status in many cricket circles. I have met Ian "Beefy" Botham and would have to say he has a laddish coolness.
