But thats where it end. They in fact dont even qualify as "sportspersons" according to me.<BR/><BR/>Want examples? Ricky Ponting, Glenn McGrath, Darrell Hair, what the heck..even their PM (Mr. Howard) AND their general cricket-watching public. Read more about it here http://kiransfinallyblogging.blogspot.com/2006/03/run-riot-at-wanderers.html if you are interested.<BR/><BR/><B>@I:</B>, whoever that is, what has been written above is the general opinion of Indians as a whole. you are effectively calling Indians as "racist". <BR/><BR/>Perhaps you have forgotten (or are blissfully unaware) of all the racist treatment meted out to all the Asian teams in Aus..as well as the Virender Shewag "over-appealing" debacle, when Shaun pollock was given a clean chit in SA about 7-8 yrs back.<BR/><BR/>You have probably also chosen to conveniently ignore the innumerable cases where Aussies or English players have walked scot-free even after showing dissent to umpires or resorting to sledgeing to the point where its unacceptable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33518081.post-1163910497719121252006-11-19T15:28:00.000+11:002006-11-19T15:28:00.000+11:00@ Nish: Absolutely. It is held, thus, that this phenomenon of complaining after losing a series does not only afflict non-Australian teams in world cricket.<BR/><BR/>@ I: I make no secret of the fact that I think the behaviour of the Australian team has been appalling in many situations over the last decade and a half. This has cast an unfortunate pall over their excellent skills and performances. <BR/><BR/>They are, undoubtedly, the most superior team in world cricket at present. I have never begrudged them this. The fact that I criticise them and openly support other teams does not make me "racist". <BR/><BR/>Your resentment of everything third world and your apparent lack of appreciation and prejudice against the region's dynamics (even though you have been born and brought up there) is more akin to one who's comments could be deemed racist and a little whiny. <BR/><BR/>As far as resentment for the "white man race". Thats a new one. You'll just have to get to know me a little better. <BR/><BR/>Just as an aside, I support the Kiwis in every game (where India is not competing) and I'm supporting the Poms during The Ashes. "Racist", did you call me?The Enigmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09172484355139580612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33518081.post-1163733040211794622006-11-17T14:10:00.000+11:002006-11-17T14:10:00.000+11:00And u call urself the match referee? Your racism, prejudice and resentment against the Aussies - and indeed the white man race - is kinda cute.Ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13955090910112709732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33518081.post-1163660802076882472006-11-16T18:06:00.000+11:002006-11-16T18:06:00.000+11:00what can you possibly say in their defence? no matter how the score goes- the losing side would always point fongers- their opponents, coaches, referee... it's always been like that sadly enough- what do you say about this?NiShhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06040848789636391786noreply@blogger.com
