Brian Johnston, legendary BBC commentator, was on his way to cover the Ashes tour and was asked at the airport if he had a criminal record.
He replied: "I didn't know you still needed one to get into Australia."
I felt the need to share that because not only is it funny and witty, it is a nice antidote to the Australians I have encountered over the past year who are both bad winners and bad losers. We won an ODI on Friday, the first time against Australia in 9 attempts, and I still got abuse from Aussies. They are just bad losers.
