Ta, you proved my point. hippy is always right.
It's the same for us. I was brought up such that anyone other than Britain winning is good. Except maybe NZ :P I can't really explain it, it's not seriously malicious or anything it's just like Melbourne is better than Sydney. It's just one of those things.

Its all about the Bantz, I always look at it like sibling rivalry. Occasionally it gets a little shouty, like around the 2003 Egg-Chasing Cup or any Ashes ever, but mostly its good natured, lets-share-a-beer after and laugh about it.
But its very important to beat the Aussies, anything to shut them up for even briefest second.

I always look for their results first. In the Olympics Australia are the one county I get the most pleasure when GB finish above them. I don't even like cricket but love it when we win the Ashes as it annoys the Aussies so much.
