My second best international team

13th%20August%201976:%20%20Cricketer%20Viv%20Richards%20relaxes%20with%20a%20cold%20drink%20on%20the%20balcony%20at%20the%20Oval%20after%20his%20innings%20of%20291for%20the%20West%20Indies

Pretty much sums it up for me too. Although my second best team changes depending on who is playing Australia at the time.
 
I have a half Scottish and Half Sicilian heritage and upbringing so besides my homeland of England and since Sicily/Italy don't have a team as far as I am aware (correct me if I am wrong) my second team is Scotland.

I didn't even gain an affection with Australia when my family lived in Sydney however, it was hell for me come the ashes though, but we did win as as the series moved on their banter did disappear and my friends there even stated the England teams superiority tbf to them.

Wow, so you went from Italy/Australia to living in Scunthorpe. I bet that was a bit of a culture shock :eek:

No... Mums Italian dad a Scot, visited Italy a lot but never lived there...
Scunthorpe, Australia, Scunthorpe. We only moved back as my grandparents on both sides fell ill and live here. Pity, it was funny watching my ginger sister keep burning in a weird brother/sister way
Visited Scotland a lot too. Frasenburgh to be exact.

Actually tbh though it is not to bad, Man Botham has a house nearby from his Scunthorpe united days, and as mum used to babysit his kids while he was here, he stops to speak to her when he's up here.
A genuine bloke he seems, had some demons though I think.
