The Aussies (Cricket team) invented the term sledging in cricket. For them its part of the game. The others do it and it becomes an unwanted mind game and aggression. They take it to the media and blow it.
They have been racially abusing those whom they couldn’t beat in the game. Others do it and it suddenly becomes a complaint.
They over-appeal, shout and stare at the umpires. Well, they are after all the world champions! They are allowed to do it! They have got the license!
Well, I cant totally blame them . The umpires! The men in white usually think twice before giving a decision against them.
World champions are supposed to be the ambassadors of the game. They are supposed to be loved by all. And when talked about their arrogance, Ricky Ponting (Or was it Steve Waugh?) told the media that there is a tendency among people to hate champions. Well, who didnt like Schumi when he drove his Ferrari to victory every sunday? Or who hates Roger Federer. Tiger Woods is a known and respected figure all around the world.
You may be great or even invinsible in cricket. That’s great! I appreciate it! Infact I am a great fan of Australian Cricket!
But please try to shed that arrogance tag!.
