South Australia for many years have STUNK at cricket so i'm happy at any victory and hopefully we can do well in the 20/20 surely 40 overs of cricket over 3 hours isn't too much to ask especially with our imports Shahid Afridi and Kieran Pollard. I wouldn't say its unimportant now its clearly is important for cricket future and attracting new generations of fans.

Australia has (naturally) beaten the West Indies, and has now defeated the Pakistanis in the iconic Boxing Day test...

We will have our revenge, when we march against England! :lay:

Can Australia pull off an unlikely win? Pakistan is 8/133 needing 43 more...

Set up nicely by an unbeaten 134 from Hussey earlier in the piece, then excellent bowling and catching by the lads...

A marathon rearguard action going on in Cape Town!

Bell and Collingwood have batted since before lunch, hanging on for a draw. Two Boycott's couldn't have done a better job so far! Into the last session now and 28 overs remaining. England 239/5.

One wicket and it could all fall apart but the impetus is with England at the moment.

(Where's the nail-biting smiley?)
