What a weekend for english sport
Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2005 12:30 pmIt was a busy weekend for our international sportsmen,and didnt they do well.
First up were our cricketers.The first Test against Pakistan started on Friday.After a steady start by the home team, our bowlers got to work and Pakistan capitulated.Afine innings by our stand in captain has left us in a strong position,to go 1 up in the series.
Saturday we had an international double bill.Bring on the Aussies.At last the rugby players found some form to steamroller the Aussies.There forwards couldnt live with ours in the scrum,and a deserved victory was ours.
Then it was the BIG ONE England v Argentina.Billed as a friendly,how can you have a friendly against the Argies? One of the best games of football Ihave seen in recent years.It had everything.Even an England win.
On this big sporting weekend,Nigel,Mansell,yes Nigel Mansell came out of retirement and won a race.
We live in a society now were its not fashionable to be patriotic.But Iwas made up to see so many England flags at the weekends events.Thank God we are still allowed to celebrate sporting victories,without some crank calling us racists.

never knew about Mansell though.Its been a cracking sporting weekend and i,m looking forward to this weekend too.Obviously i hope we can climb further up the table with a win against Pompey and although i think we wont win England put up a fight against the All blacks.Our forwards and the scrum in particular were immense.
