Sort of a similar situation with me, except I was in my local watching the football on the big screen, cricket was on another, and the rugby was on the others! I still have a sore neck from twisting and turning.

I know that non-sports lovers would be quite disgusted with this thread, but I am just a tad jealous- no Pay TV for me... Even so, we see Aussie Rules, Rugby League, soccer, and motor racing on 'normal' TV here quite regularly. It was quite a spooky feeling watching cricket (Tests V Bangladesh) on one channel, and football on the other, knowing that they were both being played in Australia!

Just Have to reply - England beat South Africa to tie the series (rephrase that "THRASHED South Africa by 9 wickets") despite being nearly 400 for 2 behind after the first day!
THRASHED France with the nearly 1st 15!
and beat Macedonia 2 -1 perhaps someone else might like to comment on that one!
Angie, I don't like to get personal on team sports , England outplayed South Africa in that game (the next time could be the exact oppoisite!). I'd like to congratulate both teams on a very sporting contest - there were verbal exchanges in the middle of the pitch but no more than I would have expected in a local cricket match "You lucky B**, How did you miss that? etcc" A good series and a draw was the right result.

Guess you're right. But I was desparately rooting for South Africa ? Now it's time to focus on the India and New Zealand series at home, here in India. Maybe I can go watch a Test at the stadium .
