Pointless rivalry you say?
Probably the English and the Welsh, or the English and the Scots, or the English and other English people. Damn English! *shakes fist at reflection*

temporarily.
I think they are about to beat us at playschool cricket, for a start. Unless this Woakes chap is some secret weapon.

He's got two first-class centuries
although I realise this means nowt in this "format". Ordinarily I wouldn't give a shit, with the Ashes and three innings victories in the bag, but as the T20 World Champions you know the Aussies will crow if they manage to beat us

EDIT: Woakes has just clattered Shaun Tait - Shaun Tait, mind you - off his second ball, and Bres is batting well. There's hope

Still, 13 off 10 is possible as long as no more stumps clatter.

I could probably care less about cricket
i'm just not sure how

Being fair
the first two are grudges the Welsh and Scottish hold with the English, not the other way round. The English don't, in general, care either way.

It's as if England is their much taller brother, holding them at arm's length and chuckling
as they try to swing their fists at it, getting more and more frustrated all the time.
