General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

At your age that can be a dangerous practice. Anyway I think that more to the point is will the standard of the opposition be improved,you can't keep blaming the umpire/referee for your failure to be competitive.Remember that essentially I'm an Englishman and that I cheer for England but I need something to cheer about.It strikes me as odd that a country with three times the population of Australia,yet they struggle to field a competent team of home grown players and it's the same in football,I watch the English Premier League on TV and at times I find it difficult to spot an English player.Don't they play the traditional sports in schools anymore or are the youth of today not interested?
