Actually I was listening to that bit in the car and they were talking about maybe the team does deserve something for winning and so on. Well someone should tell them that the winner usually gets a trophy. Players get to have their name in the record as being on the winning team, and of course they get paid a motza.
However at the end of your career for various outstanding players they do sometimes deserve a mention in the New Years Honours.

bye bye Poms, Collingwood is gone
still 4 runs short of making us bat again.
maybe we won't have to.
If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

My feeling is that the MBE's were a bit over the top. You can devalue awards by handing them out too easily. A sportsperson should use their profile to help the community for a few years after they retire before they start getting awards like that.

How long will they last?
My guess is that they'll only just make it to the first drinks break.
(Sure glad I don't have fourth day tickets )

Just as well they haven't given the Australian team a gong every time they win a series, they'd take as many pages as a small novel just to write all the letters after their names. Originally Posted by Rossluck

From the Cricinfo Test commentary:
9.40am A lovely sunny day at the SCG, the crowd beginning to come in for the 10.10am start ... Shane Warne on the edge of the field being presented with some trophy-cabinet material by a local official. He'll be getting a mass of that in the coming hours ... keep an eye on ebay next week.
Pieterson lasted 2 balls. Oh dear.

Sorry, can someone please tell me how often do they play the ashes? Every 18.236 month??
I need to know it for my citizenship exam. They will probably kick me out anyway.
