Perhaps the RSS feeder picked it up knowing that cricket (and the Ashes series in particular) counts as a religious observance for a fair chunk of the Australian population. I'm no cricket fan myself, though I can quite understand the fervour of feeling in this country when the English get walloped!

On the ground that it is cruel to mock the afflicted, I would like to request a few moments of silence for the England cricket team! And, when that is over, an even longer one!

In Christ,

John
