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. :D
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.
My guess is that they'll only just make it to the first drinks break.
(Sure glad I don't have fourth day tickets :oo: )
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.Quote:

From the Cricinfo Test commentary:
:DQuote:
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.:D
Maybe we can send out McGrath and Langer to open...fitting farewell. Ooh Aah could really enjoy opening!
Don't worry m8, I'll be your sponsor... :DQuote:
