I think srilanka is making a mountain out of nothing. why dont we accept the fact that australians are far more professional and deserving to win the world cup.

At least Gilchrist was truthful--- like Hansie Cronje was. I'm sure any cricketer from India, Pak, WI, UK, SL, Zim,BD would never have said this openly. At least Gilly openly admitted this. He broke no rules, and is an honest guy who himself walks off the crease when he feels he's nicked a faint edge which was caught, even if the umpires are not so sure. Bravo, a great man and a gentleman player.

Australians and ICC dont follow the same rules that other teams follow If the samething had been done by a Sri Lankan ICC would have fined that fellow and Mr Hair would have raised a hue and cry. Aussies always get away with these things. Gilchrist was truthful after the match and not before it. Although I am not saying that he is not a great player but he is a great player but no Aussies are not gentleman players as a matter of fact
