I'm not usually one to defend Giles, but on the last tour to Pakistan he took 17 wickets at 24.11...... hardly ineffective.....

That questionable potential gave India a run for its money earlier in the year.

Really looking forward to this series after the squads announcement.

I seem to remember in a thread on another forum a Australian member calling English 'Pommies', i can't remember the whole thing now, but even a Scotsman (!!!!) didn't like the term, now that says something.
It's a word that was used to describe Englishmen when Europeans started to settle in Australia iirc. (Details a bit hazy though)

I just think why not call us 'English' or 'Englishmen'?

Where did "Pommie" come from anyway? I never heard that term before I joined PC.

EDIT: oops, should've read the whole post.

Like i said, i think it started around the time when Europeans settled in Australia, might originate from Aborigines. :historylesson:
