I believe Julie Andrews is now a dame. So there is hope.
Posted: Fri Jan 05, 2007 9:34 amI loved Warnie's sledge to Collingwood yesterday, something along the lines of:
"Paul, you got an MBE for making 7 runs at the Oval, top stuff"

Posted: Sat Jan 06, 2007 11:03 pmI think the title of this thread should be:
Will Australia's cricketers get an OAM?
And to be honest, I hope not.
Those honours should be reserverd for outstanding service over a period of time and not just a knee jerk reaction to a moment of success (although, who knows if the nation's leading backslapper J Ho will want to get in on the act and present something?).
If we followed England's lead - the sub-fielders who helped out in the first test would be getting OAMs (just as the sub fielder who ran Ricky Ponting out in England received). Again I hope not.

Thats a given Punky !!!
Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2007 1:50 pmDon Bradman will remain our only cricketing knight. Australians can no longer win knighthoods, as we moved away from English awards in the 70s.
So, no chance on Sir Shane.
