不用谢。
You're obviously made of sterner stuff and not put off by the various hazards to be dealt with down under,so you've piqued my curiosity: Will you face the dreaded giant cricket,or will you be wearing the prescribed necessary attire ?

If you can survive those cricket's then you can relax and enjoy this cricket.The Aussie is batting,and the foreigner who's survived the giant cricket's of the insect variety is bowling.It's not too dissimilar to baseball.Proper explanation here.

Huge mate as shown here.Bite your head off man [after doing other unpleasant things to you just like it's relative the female praying mantis] and a particular appetite for foreigners but only a danger to males,so as long as you come dressed in drag she'll be apples mate :)

Yeah,I saw all of Zheng Jie's amazing achievements including the ones you mentioned.There were just too many to enumerate.I looked out for her today but didn't see her.I'll have to try and work out when she's playing as I'm very interested now.I had a great day thanks and I hope you did too.Cheers mate :)

。。better late than never I hope :)
Thanks heaps RJ. Matt has pretty much summed it up what Aussies get up to on Australia Day.I'd add that we just generally celebrate our outdoors lifestyle.Watching the cricket or the Australian open in the heat of the day,and then hitting the beach for a spot of beach cricket and/or a surf ,followed by a barbie are pretty typical.
wchan,
thanks for working those years out.I thought it must have something around that periodicity.

January 25, 2009 at 11:45 AMOk,up to speed now via google.I was getting my wires crossed.It appears there is a male Taiwanese player in the open;Lu Yen-Hsun.Zheng4 Jie2 is from Chengdu and is ranked world number 24.She reached the semi's at Wimbledon last year,beating the world no.1 Ana Ivanovic on the way [and she donated her winnings to the victims of the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake..must be a wonderful person].Also got a bronze medal in doubles at the olympics last year.Wow,she has the talent then.It would be great to see her do well here then.Looks like she's seeded 22 in the Australian Open and has made it through to the fourth round where she will be up against 8th seed Svetlana Kuznetsova.Jiayou Zheng4Jie2.Oh yeah,and she was born in 1983,the year of the pig [water,- yin to be precise]

January 25, 2009 at 11:07 AMG'day wchan,
xie xie pengyou.Yeah,green and gold are the Aussie colours.You guessed right;I am following the Australian open.Mostly I like to play tennis but I have found a renewed interest in watching the tennis lately since they opened a new tennis centre here in Brisbane earlier this month and I went and checked it out.It's great watching how the pros do it first hand.It helps visualise what you should be doing.I saw briefly on tellie there was a Zheng jie entered in the open and I was naturally interested.Someone mentioned she may be from Taiwan but they weren't too sure.Can you confirm where she's from? I'll have to find out more about her.Should be interesting. I'll definitely have to see if I can catch her play.I didn't hear John Lloyd say that.The open is on down in Melbourne and I don't move in those circles,but in that unlikely event that I do rub shoulders I will be sure to point it out.hehe.
