Does one need to like to enjoy? Discuss

our nations first 11, lets be honest, how many of them do we actually like. The decent Clark (Stuart), Hussey and maybe Gilchrist (not for much longer)...Ponting because of his class (is he a traitor to it?) and his suburb? But what do we think about Haydos, Clark the tool (Michael)....and what do we think about Lee, does he fall into the area he aims for most often, the corridor of uncertainty?

For years I adored the team regardless of behaviour or demeanour for they wore the baggy green but age and perspective have changed that...loved the larrikins Lillee and Marsh, but Greg Chapple and the other Greg...Mathews???? The term wanker comes to mind.

I no longer barrack for the team...I enjoy the game and therin lies my dilema. I detest Shane Warne...but the way he bowled....and then we have the poms, nothing there at all....

Hollywood - welcome to the rink!

Cant disagree with anything you said actually.

I'd like to pick a new 11 - a team we could support.

Are you up for it?

One further comment - apparently Greg Matthew's is the leading wicket taker in the NSW first grade comp to date this season at the (let me assure you) young age of 48!!!!!!

A troubling post Hollywood. Why dive into uncertain waters and revisit things we don't understand and should feel no guilt over? The summer will be over shortly. Let's move on from the past and look to the future. If you ignore things long enough they are bound to resolve themselves.
