so, I got a few photos...what a great atmosphere down here, bar the cries of "inger-land"...everything else is great!

Lay-off, Jerusalem is the one the best songs ever written, or adapted at least. It makes even by Scottish heart stir

These plaintives that any international sporting animosity is purely Scottish-based was put to bed yesterday when I flicked over to here a huge chant of 'are you Scotland in disguise'.

Cricket is just a sport for the public schoolboys who were too thin to play rugger, what what.

aye, because india, the west indies, australia etc all have their own little toffs playing the game, eh.

yes, remind me the link between the nations you mention...

*cough*British Imperialism*cough*

and it was said in jest, but don't let that get in the way

does this mean i can have my tv back? sick to the back teeth of sunday morning hangover programming being replaced with the fucking cricket. i don't trust any sport where it takes 4 days to play a match.

that chant did kind annoy me but if you think about it it's fair enough. i mean scotland are absolutely dire as a cricket team so to chant that at england was meant as a wee joke about them losing. considering scottish players can be called up to play for england i think it's a bit silly to have a go at english cricket for being anti scottish.

cricket isn't just a middle class sport although it is a quintessentially english sport and more gentle than the likes of football etc and so i think that creates it's image of being for toffs. lets face it, it's just an excuse to hang around in the sun for a whole day drinking and chucking balls at each other and what's wrong with that?
