AUSTRALIAN sport isn't that good.

Just because they beat us into a pulp at cricket, swimming and now football is no reason to feel sorry for ourselves. Their best rugby league team beat ours 38-0 at our place last week but so what?

We have plenty of reasons to hold our heads high in Aussie company. Air guitar, table tennis, and extreme ironing are just three off the top of my head. And, of course, our boy took on the Aussies in their own back yard at croquet and...Waltzing Matilda, Rolf Harris, Dame Edna, Kylie, Harold Bishop - your boys took one hell of a beating.

No, when it comes to sport, the Aussies have still got a lot of catching up to do.
