However, I have toned down over the last couple of years...when I was back in India, I would not miss a single game played by Australia and I'm even guilty of missing school/uni due to wanting to watch a particularly exciting day's cricket.

Men here act that way about football. I have 3 televisions in the house so I can retreat to my bedroom and watch whatever I want when football is on the big t.v. in the living room.

New Englanders take their baseball seriously, much more seriously than Californians (where I'm orginally from) or even most of the rest of the country.

I am going to put up some unknown facts about Australia.<BR/><BR/>@ Rhonda - well we play hockey here too and some ice hockey although with this warm weather you can see why its not such a big sport here. When are we going to see a video of you playing soccer?<BR/><BR/>@ Banoffi - yes and aerial ping pong otherwise known as Aurtralian Rules I dont understand either. And why do the players wear such short tight shorts?<BR/><BR/>@ Carmensincity - thanks for dropping by Carmen and for your comment. Is poker a sport?<BR/><BR/>@ June - Maybe a link to Paternity might be good.<BR/><BR/>@ Mmmmm - woo hoo a person who understands cricket! You should get an award of some kind. Yes, my grandfather was a prisoner of war to the Japanese for five years in Singapore. Changi Prison. I went there a couple of years ago to see.
