Still supporting against your own. Tut tut!

But I agree, Would be nice for the Aussies to win 3/1 odds... The Test starts on My Birthday
hopefully betfair will be able to allow me to deposit by then, they cost me a lot of money on results yesterday, because I couldnt bet.

How much more luck do they need? They've probably used up all their luck for the series.

Bad empire decision

It was a close game. Im sure the press will be calling for MBEs and Knighthoods though

Yes close game. A huge slice of luck for Australia (Agar's stumping) gave them 140 extra runs.

But class showed through in the end. English class!

Iv heard the British & Irish Lions might be changing the name to the Welsh Dragons

Obviously you will still support them if that happens? They will still represent you after all

I'm English, and I'm British. If the Lions picked 23 Welshman, or 23 Scotsman, or 23 Irishman, I would still support them. By the same token, I support Murray at tennis, and Cleverly at boxing.

Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves...

If Scotland went independant (which I doubt they will) would you still support Murray?

Yes we all know you are Welsh matey:Wales:

 off course I would..

I even support wales in Rugby..(unless playing england)

Personally I am neutral towards Murray anyway and it's not because he's Scottish, it's because Tennis isn't a team sport and he isn't representing Scotland or GB in Slams. The team is England and Wales though, Steffan, that is officially the team name
