Its over guys.. Indians should move on!
by Parthesh Shanbhag on Jan 10, 2008 05:30 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I think after all that has happened AUS players have definitely learnt their lesson!

AUS have shown very bad a attitude during the game which is not a AUS attitude for Sure! AUS have always been known for their sportsmanship
spirit!

But there is no point in making whole of this such a big issue that Cricket as a game Looses out!

Our Board has made demands which is goin to be met for sure!

So we need to move on with sporting sprit!

In the end its simple: AUS have learnt their Lesson and IND got their revenge!

What lesson have they learnt. It is said somewhere that CA chief and player union say they stand firmly behind Ponting, this means that they support his cheating and his abrasive behavior and all that transpired in the match, the result of the match and series would have been different. Sporting spirit and all the rules and being gentlemen etc is good, but it is really fruitful only when both the concerned parties follow the principles. Initially Bucknor made some glaring mistakes, Indians overlooked them, and accepted them, the same Bucknor made more errors against Indian team. This only indicates that things do not change just like that. Even now if the charges against Harbhajan cannot be proved, symmonds, ponting, and CA all should be sued and made to apologize.

Hi Parthesh:

It's kind of funny how you say "Our Board has made demands which is going to be met for sure! So we need to move on with sporting spirit!"

The sporting spirit? Which would have had the board scrap the series if the demands were not met? That's no sporting spirit mate.

In fact sporting spirit itself means that even if things go against you, you take it with a pinch of salt and move on.. Not hold ICC to ransom.

Cheers.
