I believe that the team is the result of Indian corruption. They are sneaky offering bribes and lots of money to fix matches.

I would ban our team for going there.

Agree with you kfc, the team are the laughing stock of the cricket world.   Apparently team meetings were the norm with previous players which is a much more mature and productive way of handling things.  As a Pom even I am embarrased that Australia is being in seen in such a poor light.

Davey, I assume you had tongue in cheek with your comment. 

If they cannot complete a written assigment then they should be sent back to school and this time around learn to read and write.

Can our education be so poor ??? That they are able to pass by being good at cricket???

Time they re-introduced examinations for all subjects - get rid of these assigments and general evaluation.

Well mate the poms a peeing their pants laughing at Clarke and the team.

ABBY ..........I got a boat licence pushing buttons on a TV screen..........nobody tested my boating skills.

You are correct ........they can't write.

You're right Davey we are rubbing our hands with glee.  As one of the pommy cricketers said in response to a question as to where all the good Aussie cricketers were, his reply was "Retired".  I think unfortunately that is true.   

Regardless of my allegiance, I don't care if they can't write just so long as they are good cricketers.  I wouldn't pay to watch them right now, even if they were playing England.   like a good game. 

Oh Come on pommy..........like me you love seeing Aussie blood after all of the taunts etc we had to put up with at work about the Brits.

He he he when's the next ashes.

Sounds to me like this action is the result many small failures to do whats asked . Like the saying look after your pennies and the notes will look after themselves . India is always a tough gig , world beaters at home but struggle away .

LOL Davey, but I do enjoy a good game as long as the Poms win. 

Australia have never had it easy when playing in India - their record over there is dismal.

Pommy's mention of Michael Vaughan's tweet "What do you call a great  Australian cricketer? Retired." LOL, Vaughan said that a bit early as next day England had a horror start to their first innings against NZ. Luckily for him the match went on to be a draw.

I hope we here in Aussie do not become like the pommies that when their side is losing they want blood. The English media are very critical of any losing side.
I think us Aussies are a bit above that sort of behaviour.

You're right fwed, but you obviously don't read Aussie papers when the Aussies are losing. The Aussies just blame the umpires, the ground or anything else they can think of.  They are just bad losers.  They were number one (and deservedly so) for so long, they have forgotten how to lose gracefully.  As Michael Parkinson once said, Australians are great sportsmen, but bad sports".  When Adam Gilchrist walked when he knew he was out from a nicked ball, he was reprimanded by his captain for doing so, and was told it was the umpires decision.  Win at all costs is not sportsmanship.  The problem i.m.o, is there is too much money in all professional sports now, and "win at all costs" seems to be the mantra for them all.
