For example, I'm sure Mike Hussey would have a 100% approval rating. He was once a fierce competitor too.<br /><br />Esra, the feeling of comfort and safety knowing that team could pull you through anything was enjoyable while it lasted. Now we teeter on the edge as they do.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861185876518162341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216862327208974261.post-58809585856728062782009-05-24T23:31:45.826+10:002009-05-24T23:31:45.826+10:00Likeable or not this is the most unexcited this bo...Likeable or not this is the most unexcited this bogan has ever been about an ashes side. Yeah we should win and Midget Phil (who looks like he should be on Oxford street not on the banana farm) is exciting.

Now where could I have drawn that conclusion from? It's a wonder I picked it. Anyway, generally the people who do <I>love</I> the team are a bunch of bogans, or at least I classify them as that because I'm a big ol' bitch. It's not really a matter of liking the team as a whole, because one or two players are bound to be iffy.<br /><br />Ottayan, in essence that's absolutely right. You can be cutthroat and make it in most jobs, including as a sportsperson. You don't <I>have</I> to preserve a nice image.

To take the likeabilty percentage from 20 to 81? You could have hit on something there.<br /><br />I do feel for the Aussies though because it's a difficult blancing act. Trying to be mean to the opposition but still set an example to kids.<br /><br />Personally, I admire their talents but I don't like 'em. Had they had my favourite Australian in the side then I'd reconsider.Stani Armyhttp://staniarmy.comnoreply@blogger.com
