They are an easy target & usually do well considering their size.
Off the top of my head in answer to the question:
Port Adelaide (as per final last year)
USA (eg. America's Cup)

Humiliating Toots.
No, I meant something that doesn't happen every day.
Here's my time 5:
Beating NZ,
Beating Port Power,
Beating Sth Africa,
Beating England,
Beating Uruguay,
they are like rabbits in a head light, or as i prefer to call it they suffer David Gallagher Syndrome.
i love beating NZ nearly more than anything because they are a cocky sporting nation, they think they are world beaters everywhere but realistically they are good at one sport and one sport only.

My top 5.
Beating Port Power
Beating Australia (cricket)
Beating Australia (rugby)
Beating The French in anything
Beating The Yanks in anything.
but realistically they are good at one sport and one sport only.
That wouldn't involve a 4 legged animal with a woolly coat would it ??
I don't seem to have the NZ syndrome built into my persona but maybe it's because i was born in dear old mother England such a long long time ago.
Both my 2 sons are like yuse guys regarding NZ as they love nothing better than beating them at just bout anything.

For most of my existence I had the attitude of supporting the underdog where the Kiwi's were concerned except of course in Rugby where we were the underdogs. But it gradually seeped into my consciousness the extent of the antipathy over there towards us where sport is concerned. Now I love it when we crush them. Unfortunately the two things that matter most to them Rugby and netball they are dominating us at present and they also recently beat us in rugby league so to give them a belting in cricket is a bloody good thing IMO. Hopefully by the time the Rugby world cup comes around we will have a decent team again and beat them in a semi final. How sweet that last semi final win was when they were so confident of thrashing us.

Australia 4/124 after 27 overs. We should declare now so the Kiwis can make a game of it - ***I just know this comment is going to comeback and bite me on the ass***

Don't worry Toots, the only reason they say they don't like cricket is becuase they're sh*te at it. You can bet if they started to win a few, a multitude of loud mouthed kiwis ( is there any other ) would climb out of the woodwork.
I travelled with kiwis for an extended period of time a few years back and let me tell you they're complex of Aussies is unrivalled. They hate getting beaten by us in anything.
Couldnt give a fat rats tossbag about NZ. The SA v Vic rivalry is much greater in my mind than the Aus v NZ rivalry.
NZ = Eastern Tasmania:p

Birmingham 1983 Move to Oz 1986
I with you Noddy I could not give a flying ******** if we beat New Zealand or not. As long we make the football world cup (England) and hopefully win it this time is all that I care about. (Very happy for the Socceroos making it but)
Australia is home and I love to see (I am a proud Aussie at heart and very patriotic as well) Australia win at everything ,Bar the Ashes (coming home 2006) and Football (soccer) but I don’t care if we beat the kiwis.
(It’s not like playing France or Argentina :mad: is it)

I will hazard a guess the reason Nod couldn't give a flying if Aus beats NZ is becuase he's an Englishman. Stab in the dark maybe......:rolleyes: :p

Bit disappointed, I thought we should have scored 350:D . I just hope one day Symmonds can get his game together enough to remain in the test team. If he does, he could be our version of Freddy. Surely, he has more to offer, especially with the bat, than Watson.

Symonds last 50 came off around 16 balls. He hit 8 sixes in his innings (= Ponting's record I believe). If he could do that at Test level ... wow!

Of one cairns over he hit 3 sixes and a four...Poor old cairnsey, might be time to reconsider retirement.

That was one of the finest batting displays I have seen from an individual.
As much as i hate them and am glad we won, if you make 320 or even over 300 chasing you deserve to win, but in saying that lucky for Billy that they didnt win, his decision to call a no ball after the fact was wrong and shouldntve happened.
Brett Leee bowled absolute tripe last night:thumbsd:

Tripe is not quite the right word - you can eat tripe.
Shyte would be more appropriate!! ;)
