The undiluted truth is that the Aussies call a spade a spade. They have no qualms about speaking about other players and teams, and if they feel they think that someone has potential, we say it.
That's the difference about an out-spoken team; albeit, the ranting on the field; our blokes are honest fellos.
Remember Shane Warne saying that he was getting nightmares, with Sachin's bAtting!!!!!!!!! If any Indian would say that - his house would be burnt down!
Well, the only problem with India/ians is that they are very timid, conservative, reserved, and not out-spoken, like the Australians, Englishmen, the Americans.
I don't know if it is long colonial rule that has made the Indians the way they are, but looking at history of the world, the shape of things are based on the PAST!
IT'S GREAT THAT LEE HAS REGARDED ZAHEER HIGHLY, AND HE HAS SPOKEN FOR THE TEAM. A GOOD INDICATION ON WHOM THEY SEE AS A POTENTIAL THREAT IN THE FORTHCOMING SERIES!
WHEN THE INDIANS SPEAK OUT, A LA DRAVID, THE INDIANS TEAR HIM TO PIECES. HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL SPEAK OUT FRANKLY, AND WITH NO DISTINCTION TO COLOUR, RACE, OR WHATEVER THAT PLAGUES THE INDIAN PSYCHE. TENDULKAR WAS AN OUTSPOKEN PERSON TOO, THOUGH HE WAS VERY DOCILE AND MILD. GANGULY COULD NOT SPEAK AT ALL.
GAVASKAR SPEAKS TODAY, BUT, IN HIS DAYS - HE SPOKE WITH HIS BAT, WITH GREAT ACHIEVEMENT! PEOPLE REMIND THE 36 RUNS IN 60 OVERS. HEY, WHEN WERE INDIA CONSIDERED A TEAM TO RECKON, with in those days?
RE:AMAZING THAT OUR GUYS SPEAK SO HIGHLY ABOUT INDIANS...
