Pinched from the BBC website
I like this line about Michael Clarke
"He's captain of Australia, the second most important position behind the prime minister and as such, we need our captain playing well," Lehmann said.
Sad to say, but when we have a absolute clown like Tony Abbott running the country, the Australian cricket captain might even be the MOST important man in the country.
I come from the opposite side of politics and although I did not agree with their policies and agendas (especially the union bashing), previous Liberal party (Conservative) prime ministers in Malcolm Fraser and John Howard still had my respect. They were both statesman. This bloke Abbott comes across as a fool. The sooner he is gone, the better IMHO
Plus he is the federal member for Manly Warringah in Sydney. I was born in the Sutherland Shire and and have followed Cronulla Sutherland RLFC since their beginnings in 1967. Lets just say that Many & Cronulla supporters don't get along too well.
Plus Abbott married a Kiwi, is a practicing Tyke and was born in London.
Not much to like about him.
