This is why Ireland has collapsed, of course. No interest in Test cricket.

You'd think the very least they could do is cheer for the team of their noble benefactors.

You see? You see?
If you would only learn to take an interest in the noble game, you might stand a chance of one day becoming a civilised nation.

Poking out your tongue is no way to demonstrate your civilised credentials, Ani.
Nor is demanding someone's head on a stick.

When you have learned these things, you may perhaps be ready to embrace the noble game.

Noble?

Are we talking about the obtuse homosexuality or the terrible penchant for tripping over small gusts of wind?

Bad show, that. Should be aiming for 400 if you bat first at Brisbane. Didn't bat the day out either. First blood to the Aussies.

Bugger.
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.
