Dirty Game

Any management guru will tell you that there is a difference between winning and winning. Australia seems to be doing the former. And the mere fact that they cannot take defeat, shows how "good" this team is. The team may be proud, it has all reasons to be so, but they are plain dirty. They play to win, only to win; just to win. And they will do anything for it. That is not winning, is it?

This series, they tried to change some of these bad images. Like they started "walking". Mark of true sportsman spirit? Then why did they appeal for Sehwag's dismissal? They didnt hear that nick? Come on, the guy in the last row in the stands would have heard it, at least seen it. McGrath is lying, so is Gilchrist.

I remember this one interview that Ponting gave a few months ago. Lara had just broken Hayden's world record of 380. And what does Ponting have to say about it? That Lara is selfish. And he went on bad mouthing about Lara. He had not a single word in apreciation about the innings. That showed his character, and this exactly is Australia's character.

They just play it dirty. I liked what Harbhajan meant while talking to the press about Ponting's dirty pitch play in media, "Shut up!"

but sadly you can look at the indian cricket team also in two angles: losers and losers. and there isnt much of a difference between the two.
