Sorry, we just swat crickets here... awfully noisy in the summer.
You what?
You poor bastards.
Australians are sportsters. They love all sports. That is why we have Aussie Rules, Rugby League, Union, Cricket, A League, Australian Open Tennis, Golf, Formula One Grand Prix, Supercars and Horse Racing.
Come to think of it, Aussies will race a pair of cockroaches and place their bets on the table.
It’s a smorgasbord.
You just have the Kafeneio and Pilota!
We have all of this except F1 and supercars.
Really?
You have Aussie Rules do you? Rugby Union and League as well as Cricket?
Oh come on Zenon. The sports on offer in Australia is mega business and international grade.
You might for example have horse racing, but it isn't like The Melbourne Cup and Cox Plate and what not where the Arab Royals come and play after they dismember a couple of Sydney Morning Herald journalists for being critical.
