    Australia is now responsible for posting the two highest totals in international limited overs cricket to still lose the match. Added to that, they're the only Test team to lose a match after enforcing the follow-on, and they've done that three times.

    We Aussies like to think we're a proud sporting nation, but is it possible that, in cricket at least, we actually suck?

    Serious answers please. I am honestly depressed at our recent ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    At least you're not from New Zealand. Or India. When was the last time India won at anything?

    The United States has Chuck Norris, beat that you damn Kiwi. I have no idea where you're actually from XerxesX, but I have a hunch it's extraterrestrial.

    Possibly, but I doubt it, his doesn't speak English well enough for me to think he's from Denmark.

    And here I thought this was going to be an interesting topic about one of our diverse insect friends...

    Did you know that for every human being on the earth, there are 2 million insects? They will inherit the Earth, I tell ya...

    I think the name of the worlds largest insect is a Katydid.
