    Just for the record, Kerry Packer, an Australian mogul in his life...changed the rules of cricket because it was a veeerrrrryyyyy slow game.

    Don't let him watch the upcoming test match with Australia, Andre, otherwise he will be psychologically scarred for life when Australia hammers South Africa in a manner similar to the humiliating defeat we just dished out to England

    Thanks David.

    Over here you get charged with child neglect if you do not allow them to watch a National team playing.

    Yes, it was a great shame to see the hammering to which the former colonies subjected our English cousins. A great pity, wrote the Scotsman!
