So being from NW is more offensive than being from England? The way uses play cricket it wouldn't seem that way. Well I say play cricket. Your team isn't that good any more.

We "love" both countries. To be honest when an Aussie gives you stick (or tries to shine you, put the wind up you etc) it's a sign of comradary. It's all part of the "tall poppy syndrome". The Aussie culture promotes equality by pulling down those who think big of themselves and lifting up those who think little. The idea being it makes all stronger, if we didn't "care" we wouldn't try for the bite.

The Aussie cricket team has been over rated for years. To be quite honest I'm a little like my old man and actually barrack for who ever they're playing at the time. Just to knock them of that perch and pull their head out of the proverbial. Tall poppy again.

Agreed. I'm like that with some of my mates. I bring them down when they're high and bring the people up who think they are low. I'm always bring down my room mate because he gets big headed syndrome fast. For instance, going past Go on Monopoly, he's like "YES!!!!!". Type of thing. So I insult his intelligence quite often because I know he hates it, and he can't say anything about mine, because much smarter than him.
