I said it was a generalization but thanks for proving my point by the wheels coming off your posting as you cant handle the situation and reacting as you did. Social experiment #2354 - a success supporting the hypothesis.
This whole Aussies sledged their way to cricket dominance in those days BS is actually worse than calling all of SA's failures a choke, All remotely decent teams (sometimes not even that) sledged, yes even back then. And those with limited English abilities got that job done with dirty looks and smug behavior when it came to Anglophone players. Aussies though actually had the skills to back it up with results which left the other countries bitter, especially Indians and to a lesser extent the English who were the main ones to advertise their sledging stuff and made it seem like something worse than it actually was, just simple on-field mind games. Professional athletes should be expected to handle that. Of course there were occasions where got out of hand like the Mcgrath-Sarwan incident. Don't recall Aussies trash talking their opponents to the media much though. They liked to keep it on the field usually.
I'm the king of scorecard scanning.
WW in 3,2,1....
Hate to say it but have to agree, when all but maybe two or three of your team sees T20 as the pinnacle of the game you've got problems. Honestly think a hiatus from international cricket to sort out the domestic system is in order.
They used to be sort of likeable a few years ago, but they don't even have that going for them now.
Sammy though. Forever.
