Mate!  An Oz National Tiddly-Winks Team?  It's got a lot of potential and if
I could only convince the National Institute of Sport that there's a trophy
in it, (it doesn't matter what sort of trophy - an egg cup will do - as long
as we get to keep it if we ever won the tournament) then there's a good
chance we could free up some money for a series of test matches.  :-)

Needless to say, as you're the challenger, we get to choose the venue.  I'm
all for holding it on a liveaboard off of, say, Cairns?  :-)))
