to lose the unloseable test



Surprisees,

Rang me mate on Tuesday night and said "not much point going to the cricket to see us being subjected to a gigantic tusk up the runter by ten Muzzies and a Hindu?".
He agreed.
Major mistake, but cricket is a funny game.
Undoubtedly the most remarkable win on home soil since the NEVER IN DOUBT test match against the Poms at the Adelaide Oval in December 2006.
Like now, just as then, Pakistan somehow, miraculously, contrived to lose the unloseable test.
Obviously the previous post was written in a fit of pique, before the final dénouement in Sydney, but the fundamentals are the same, regardless of the result.
Ponting takes another of the cat's lives on board, Pup graceously stays in the dressing room until the rendition of Beneath The Southern Cross is done and dusted, while the members trash the Members Bar while slapping each other on the back saying "test cricket is the winner".
