The Ashes 2009 thread

you have highly achieving sportsmen/women (i refuse to use the word 'great' as that suggests some humility and lack of conceit) because australia has little else to be proud of. no culture and little of achievement outside sport. what culture it does have is not supported as the indigenous people and their culture has been suppressed, most of the cultural and literal intelligentsia have the foresight to leave to achieve recognition and success, i'm still trying to figure out what talents the resident forum antipodeans are trying to export to the mother country?

without wanting to get involved in the hippy baiting, i believe we have been called poor winners, too.
