Cricket is like the 7th most popular sport in England (and like 10000000 times less than #1), meanwhile it's the 2nd here
Surprisingly, this is true. Although, cricket is not the second most participated sport in Australia, not even close. It is well attended and well watched (same goes for England) although relatively few actually play.

Also, considering your participation rates you guys really suck balls at swimming. :P

good bowling that

looks like Smiddy got a little edge on it though, bad decision from the Kettle?

Nige

Both Shami and Ashwin have bowled really well..

we need videos of the 15 year dominance or whatever it was by the Aussies for Jukesy :P

not in my liftime so irrelevant ;)

haha ya can't pick and choose Jukesy! Australia clearly the better cricketing nation. that's not opinion, that's just fact :P

last 10 years it's England 4 Australia 2 and that's what counts, despite nobody in England caring about it

You don't get many 80k++ crowds for cricket in England that's for sure

That's because we don't have any swimming culture, here people swim pretty much all year round, while there's like a 1 week window where people swim in the UK, and even then it rains most of the time.

Ah, Joe Burns makes the 50 that we wanted to see in the first innings.

Bill Manspeaker

The_Captain

Kudos to you Burnsy!!! Great Innings! Cant believe that the umpires called stumps with 1 over left for day!
