:> I was feeling left out by my total lack of knowledge in the Indian/TN
region,
:> so I've decided to start my own thread as a South Australian.
:>
:> Why are there never any South Australian in the Australian team?
Eh? The
:> obvious answer, ris that the South Australians play like crap, is
obviously
:> null and void given the Titan Cup and the fact that the rest of the
:> Australian team (always excepting Paul Reiffel) played like ***
too. A few
:> South Aussies would have fitted right in there.
:> And a stronger mystery is Why is it on the rare occassions that South
Aussies
:> make it to the Australian team, they suddenly loose all ability?
Look at
:> Lehmann. He was pretty good once. No, sorry, his failing was
selling his
:> soul to those bastard Victorians. I remember. Look, instead, at
May. He
:> went really ***at an amazing rate once he hit the Australian team.
Probably
:> felt discouraged by another bastard Victorian - Warne.
:> Has it anything to do with the fact that the Cricket Academy is in
South Australia,
:> and it discourages local talent?
:> Anything to do with the fact that Adelaide has far and away the
nicest oval in
:> Australia, and therefore has about the least amount of matches played
there (though,
:> since I moved to Sydney I have changed my mind. More Sydney
matches. ***
:> Adelaide!!)
:> Under normal circumstances, I forgive the Australian selectors for
ignoring the
more likelihood
:> of *** the other states, especially Victoria. However, since we
just got
:> thrashed ourselves by WA, even that consolation is now no more.
:> It is all too sad. I look forward to your letters of consolation and
explanation.

I heard in a movie/TV serial something like "Nobody is perfect :)"
