granted the are the unbeatable side...but they have grown unbeatable in a lots of other things than cricket...be it atrocious on field behavior, unfair play, un-sportsmanship, un-gentlemanliness, irritating and annoying attitude or to put it straight, simple snobbishness and an unnecessary 'attitude' the aussies score handsdown...
i do not understand why they are treated like the spoilt child of a despot who would execute anyone who dares to put the boy straight...it seems the whole cricketing world is scared of punter and his boys...they sledge, no problem, part of the game...we sledge, breach of conduct of players, they make wierd atrocious gestures, player's aggression, we celebrate the fall of a wicket or appeal, over-riding the limit given to players...they appeal, it's out, we appeal, not out...even celebrated umpires like bucknor have fallen prey to 'australiocitis' the fear of marking the aussies wrong.
They are almost like the holy cows of indian politics, who are never wrong...
oh please, gimme a break...
it is time the world gathered up some courage (take lessons from sree and bhajji) and played the game like the aussies want us to...they are now freaking rulers of the cricket world...and in times, when we can see decisions going glaringly in favor of the australians again and again, i doubt whether they are fairly, the world champions or not...
i am certain that the aussies are losing in a game that is constantly turning out to be one among equals...
