Sure, the Aussies love to win. Sure, they like sports, cricket included.
But sports like rugby, Aussie rules football, and even the peculiar passion for watching people chase cheese down a hill in the annual Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake event, are liable to set Australian nerves on edge more than putting their hearts and souls, never mind a crate of Victoria Bitter prayers, to ensure a cricket World Cup trophy.
