Can we please avoid using racial terms when referring to teams -mods

Serious? Referring to a country by what they eat is now a sensitive issue in Oz?
Thank God we can still say Poms, Aussies, Yankees and Saffers.
Sorry to get off topic but is it something they don't like being called, or is it something Aussies believe they maybe offended by.
Genuine question from someone who's been offshore for the best part of 12 years.

Mods:
If you'd prefer not to discuss it on a football forum I'd understand, but if you're going to edit something I think you should make some effort at explaining yourselves. Makes you appear frivolous otherwise.
Anyway, no harm meant. I guess you can get away with some things in Japan that'd make people ropable back in Oz. I don't remember it being that way.

What the...? I do believe I'm being vilified by a fruchoc!

[Media Park]

Get it right, I'm a lamington.

[therisingblues]

Oh! One of them.
Mum warned me about lamingtons...

India rolled for 327, Panesar took 5 fa, Swann 4 fa
Poms 0/49 in reply

Cook another hundred, KP currently 140-odd not out.
Bairstow was "caught" on the stroke of lunch, but the ball hit Gambhir's (fielding at short leg) helmet first, technically not a catch, rather a dead ball.
Lunch was taken, and there was an opportunity to recall Bairstow, however the sooks failed to do so.
Twitter has definitely fired up!

[therisingblues]

MP.
If it was a dead ball why did the ump give it? Or did the batsman walk?
Must be a lot of discussion on it.

Was given out caught, replays showed it hit the helmet, umpire didn't call it.
In the heat of the moment it would normally be simply unlucky, but because it (the dismissal) caused a break, there was ample opportunity to recall him- was mentioned on the live scores site that the Indians had discussed it, but declined to do so.

poms lose their last four wickets for eff all, 413 all out, a lead of 86

[Jim05]

India 7/110 in 2nd dig
Lead by 23 runs
Panesar has 5fa and 10 for the match so far.
Will be over before lunch on Day 4

[stampy]

the sooks have folded like a deck of cards

Yes, how ironic they prepare a spinners deck and then get steamrolled by someone as bad as Panesar

[The Dark Knight]

England won by 10 wickets.

413 & 58/0 defeated India 327 & 142

Haha its shocking isnt it!

Broad dropped from Englands side. India batting first are 1/64

[daysofourlives]

Is it just me or do others actually find they are enjoying watching the poms give India a hiding on their own dust bowls?
