Rather than talk about the dread-inspiring cricket I thought I'd focus on our one day of football (or soccer as I fear it is called in Oz). Having seen what Terry Butcher did to Coventry it is only fair we investigate his stewardship of the Sky Blues of Sydney FC. And who could argue with playing the best named player in the world in central midfield. Ufuk Talay. How very Austin Powers.
Sadly Sydney's opponents on our last night are bottom of the league New Zealand Knights - I suspect by 7th January we will be empathising a lot with the team that have been thrashed by the Aussies all season.
