Frankly even if it had been the Aussies that had batted like a pub team and lost by about three innings some of us probably wouldn't have been able to fully enjoy it. Especially as the cricket was supposed to help us take our minds off the football. And as I said, a poor Windies side (are they officially called that now?) isn't good for cricket.
I hadn't noticed the skin colour of the Pakistan team being a reason for them not be disliked.
