Zimbabwe beat Australia
I was in the middle of the Sicilian countryside eating linguine when this evening's cricket result came through, so, with apologies both for gloating and to the Norwegian football commentator, felt compelled to write this:
"John Howard, Kylie Minogue, Rolf Harris, Steve Irwin, Dame Edna, Shane Warne, Mrs Mangel, Nicole Kidman, Crocodile Dundee, Cathy Freeman, Banjo Patterson, Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, Toadfish Rebecchi, Bouncer the dog - are you listening, Bouncer the dog? Your boys took one HELL of a beating."
Not that England have ever lost to Zimbabwe, of course...
Will you English ever learn?Should have left the gloating until after the Eng-Aus game.

just dropped by to gloat, Patrick! England sure do like playing Australia, don't they! And what about KP's commnets!
To paraphrase old man McGrath - "fancy losing to the team that lost to Zimbabwe"!

Apology accepted. Schadenfreude is the sincerest form of tribute after all (and Zim thoroughly deserved this win). But who are 'Toadfish Rebecchi' and Bouncer the dog? I don't think they are in the Howard cabinet like the rest, unless these are alternate nicknames for Tony 'The Mad Monk' Abbot and Peter 'Dog' Costello.

...and that Patrick, says it all about Twenty20.
What a game.
