Tassie counts?
Of course! How could anyone dismiss the island that produced David Boon - batsman and silly mid-on fielder extraordinaire?
Ha! [evil grin-e] Caught you out, Max! Was that just a smidge of admiration for an Aussie? Yee hah. We're movin' ahead in heaps and bounds ever since that ol' ANZAC thingy!
Doc_C as far as Tassie counting? I'm guessing paulb thinks so!

so that's one less cricket record in Ocker hands.
Sadly, for your Rawalpindi Express, it doesn't look certain yet.
"But coming almost as fast as Akhtar's delivery are suspicions over the accuracy of the speed-recording device. The ICC is yet to endorse the record." from www.smh.com.au
I sincerely hope he gets it. It'll give Brett Lee something to aim for!

I can't wait to see him dismiss Warne, preferably on 99.
Knowing us, we whitefellas'll come up with some other record, just to take the shine off Akhtar's record... You know, something like "Shane Warne: the only cricketer in history to take XXX number of wickets and be out twice on 99" ... [rolleyes]

well well - this wordmap site is fascinating! I have never heard of "taco", nor "nitch", but then I live on the other side of the continent. Regional linguistic differences are always interesting are they not. Glad to see the little apple isle (Tassie) getting recognised too. BTW Consuela: it is perfectly OK to regard Victora as the southernmost part of oz too! Max is geographically correct of course but we mainlanders would not take offence at Vic being called southern.

Have you confirmed that taswegians share your POV on this?
I think we just confimed that Taswegians' points of view are irrelevent.

Aaah, the insatiable Aussie arrogance now turns on its own.
And for an encore, it will turn on itself.
Whatever the hell that means!!
