It seems like everything seems fair to Australians if in the end they get to win a contest.

Human errors during umpiring is not something new, but
if out of 10 umpiring blunders, 9 are against one side, and the opponents are Australia, then the possibility of foul play cannot be ruled out from the host side.

This is specially true in wake of the humiliation suffered by so-called World Champs, at the hands of India, in 20-20 World Cup. I am sure that they are still licking their wounds from the same.

Also, it seems like the copyright for riling and provoking opposition players, cheating, and lying unashamedly have been bouhgt by Australian cricket team. And also, for them, aggression is a great thing if they are giving it to someone, but difficult to stomach, when they are at the receiving end.

What a bunch of hypocrites this Australian team is!!
The saying, "As the Captain so the Team" rings 100% true here.

20/20 is backyard cricket. Come back when you harden up enough to play with the bigboys in the test arena.

And the so-called world champions lost to teams like Zimbabwe in what is suppose to be abckyard cricket.

And why don't you counter argument with argument, and reason with reason, instead of making irrational and irrelevant comments like the one above?

Because Australian don't care about 20/20. Its a cheap gimmick of a game that is a cross between baseball and a rock concert. The test arena is where is matters and if you don't know that then you are not much of a REAL cricket fan.

You self-patronizing a*hole, how do I know I don't know what's REAL cricket and what's not? And we know what Australia did when they saw there was no other way to recover from 134-6.

And if 20-20 is a gimmick, then just don't partake of it? Don't come back to say "we don't care" after having lost to teams like Zimbabwe.

australian team doesnt know the meaning of respect.look wat they did when they won the champions trophy in INDIA.they didnt show the respect to BCCI PRESIDENT MR SHARAD PAWAR.
ur so called champions team has lost to zimbabwe in 20-20 n still if u call 20-20 a backyard cricket,then ur champion team doesnt know to win 20-20.n next time i wont be surprised if u write tat 20-20 is a great game(if austaralia wins the next edition) coz u ppl respect the game only which ur country has won.

lols, jason. case of sour grapes perhaps, cos aussie folks lost when they were supposed to be the best. haha! well, sorry, mate yuve gotta respect it for 2 years until yu get your time to win that cup. indians were not supposed to win that cup, indians werent even on the same page as regards the way the game is played. however, by a combination of individual brilliance we won. the aussie team is always great team work. this time they lost. they are still the one day and test side to beat. however, if yu dont credit that victory to indians, im sorry its a case of being sore losers!
