Andrew, I was being a tad ironic - about Australians being afraid of
'greatness' in certain areas but happy to lay it on in others. Indeed, I
thought my comments were *dripping* with irony. So, no, I was not trying to
compare apples with breadfruit. Or be rude about cricket, which I love. I
guess I'll have to play with a straight bat in future. But me - play
straight - oooh, that's asking a bit much, darl.
Cheers,
Jill (drip dry and irony-free)
