AARRGH!  England lost to the West Indies AGAIN?   (When have we ever beat them?)

Since I subscribed to this group recently ( initially to see soccer postings! ),
this is the first time I have seen CRICKET referenced!!!!  So, along with
Mr. Armstrong above, I too would be GREATLY interested to see any cricket news.

Actually while I'm asking:  ANY British football (soccer) news/results and
ANY International Rugby Union news/results would also be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance, sports fans,

The last I heard, it was an Aussi/India final at the world cup in Aussi.
Australia didn't really deserve to be there. They had been absolutely
humiliated by New Zealand. Chasing 276, they were all out for 70......
By this stage they were already in the finals so it didn't really matter.
NZ then lost to India in the decider for the finals.

Manchester United is now no longer at the top of the First division.
Since losing Robson to injury a few months back, they've gone downhill
badly. He returned a couple of weeks ago but was sent off towards the
end of a game ( the report I saw implied his action which resulted
in his dismissal was accidental... ). The top of the table looks as
follows:

Everton   28  17  5  6  63  35  56
ManU      27  17  4  6  48  20  55
Chelsea   26  16  4  6  44  25  54
Liverpool 28  15  6  5  56  30  53
....
ManCity   28  10  8  10 34  34  38 ( about midway down )


Source: Manchester Guardian Weekly, Week ending February 9. I've
been a bit lax lately. A fuller listing will appear sometime in
the next couple of weeks.
