Re Aussies

What Gavin has said in his article makes lot of sense. Everone in the Cricket fraternity knows that Aussies are bad losers and indulge in more sledging when they are losing. We have a young team who should do well at the International level if they keep thei cool and play to their potential instead of harping on othe opposition's behavious on the field. The focus should be on the game rather than individuals.
We have our weakness too as sport loving public we are not being fair to our players- we heap lots of prizes once they win a tournament and at the same time we have fanatics throwing stones at the platersresidence if they lose. It is these kinds of action which put pressure on our players.
The average Australan thinks highly of the talent our team has but keep saying we have not been able to exploit their full talent as a teamand according to them we are the only team atleast on paper who can pose a threat to their supremacy in the game. Let us hope in the next 3 games we show our true potential and win against them. Dont forget Sresanth is going to be atarget of the Aussie crowds when they come downunder and so he better make amends now and show his credentials in the game.

What is interesting is that, why did Gavin choose this time to talk about it?

What is hurting them, so much now?
