Nothing new. This has been going on for years.
by BENEDICT BISWAS on Jan 06, 2008 03:03 PM

In the eighties it was Lillee & co.The onfield behaviour of the Aussies was so bad that one had forgotten that cricket is a game played by gentlemen.The great Sunil Gavaskar decided to walk off the field with his opening partner Chetan Chauhan after he was abused verbally and insulted.Thereafter came the pair of David Boon & Geoff Marsh.Caught behind & LBW decisions were a rarity. Thus they became very prolific scorers but only at home.Ricky ponting is a spoilt brat.One who could've been taught some manners by being spanked hard in an Indian Pathshala.His men are also no less.Steve Bucknor probably repents not being born a white which explains his unflinched loyalty towards the teams from England,Australia & SA. Anyway,with a biased Michael Speed & Gang at the helm of affairs in ICC nothing more in favour of India could be expected.Arjuna Ranatunga deserves the highest accolades for saying the right thing 'We all know where they (Australians)came from.' Their attitude On & off the field proves it all.
