We all hate cheats..i am sure none of us like this australian cricket team except themselves!!! what a bad advertisement for cricket and the country Australia. their nation might be hanging their heads in shame even in this 'victory'.
the perfect example of australian way of cheating the rest of the world is when they appealed when the ball went past dravid's pad and got him 'out'. they think the rest of the world in not watching or they are stupid!!!
however ponting & co. are not ashamed. they have no dignity. they sledge on perfect gentlemen like dravid, kumble, sachin etc...i wonder what are they going to teach their children??? what a bad example are they for not only their children , for the next generation of cricketrers in australia...tomorrow when ponting's son win something by cheating, and when ponting is embarressed and tries to correct his son, hios son would simply say, dad this was exactly how you used to play....how sad!!!
what a pity, for australia and for the world of cricket...

Well Australian cricketers are not ashamed and even guilty with all these things. Somewhere I read that it is the culture difference said by one of the player. They were saying it is okay to call a player lucky bas___d in their matches and other countries thing it is bad word. Ricky Pointing was saying that they play hard cricket. I think sledging and abuses might be hard cricket. One thing I do not understand why Pointing complaint to the match referee when he was playing hard cricket.
