I think you are all of those things you say you are and rightly take pride in. The U.S. would be glad, and lucky, to have someone like you emigrate. But I think you need to accept his explanation that he was joking, just as he must accept yours. By the way. I think Cricket is bollocks ;P

Honestly though, I wasn't able to figure out that it was a humorous statement. Now, obviously I accept it, as he clearly says it is.

I agree with Oakman. There is so much mud slinging in the SB that you have to be very clear if you are joking. When I first read what you said, I figured you were joking, but you have to be clear to the recipient. I'm sure if English isn't a first language that makes it even harder. I've seen people use the joke icon and people still take it the wrong way. I think we need to start using joke or sarcasm tags. Those we all seem to get! :) And if you read through Rajesh's post you will see that he too is very accomplished and I'm glad he's part of our CP community.
Seriously, I wouldn't have even replied to him if I even had remotely felt that it could be a joke. It took it way too seriously for reasons obvious. BTW, what do you think about cricket? :)

I have only watched cricket when I spent time in Australia. Since I did not grow up with it, it's kind of a novelty and I find it kind of fun to watch for awhile. I get bored with most sports though after an hour or so. I have an Australia cricket shirt from the late 1990's and got my hubby a small bat and wicket (sp?)

Calling someone a shame to his nation doesn't look like the best humor to me. I usually have a good sense of humor, but that didn't sound like a deadpan. However, with all due respect, that joke sucked.

I have never been under the delusion that my sense of humour is universally shared. That *was* the point here - what I said was too outrageous to be true. Having said that, I offer an unconditional apology.
Cheers, Vıkram.

Yes, that's what disturbed me - but it's all very clear now.

Surely, I'll accept it.
