Best of Enemies: Whinging Poms Versus Arrogant Aussies

By Will last year, mid-January, 6 Comments »

My old chum Patrick Kidd has written his first book, and it’s available to pre-order for the frankly disgustingly cheap £9.49. That’s under a tenner in today’s money – and less than 950 pence. Other currencies are available.

Don’t hesitate for one second: buy it immediately.

Product Description
One of the great rivalries in sport returns this summer, but what is it about a six-inch terracotta urn that en flames the passions of Poms and Aussies? Why do the English think that all Australians are alcoholic simpletons? Why do Australians think the English all have a stick up their backside? And why do they need (and needle) each other so much? In this humorous look at one of the truly great rivalries, written by “The Times’” cricket blogger and a professional Australian bar-room pontificator, the grudges, sledges, heroes and villains are laid bare.

About the Author

He now knows why. He writes a cricket blog.
