The Aussie gamesmanship by some of the players were was darn right distgusting Cook has been the player of the tournament and deserved maximum respect. Fooking bunch of w**kers those who didn't clap for his ton
Okay, so i love good sportsmanship. It's awesome, and i love how it is in cricket. But seriously, getting this worked up over it? FFS, emotions run high sometimes. To be honest, if i was out there im not sure what i would have done if i had been spanked all series. I'd be downright pissed off, and the last thing id wanna see is another English player knock a ton off. I'd like to say id applaud anyways, but whos to say if i was angry at the time i would? Ive seen bad sportsmanship at times from every cricket team around the world at some stage, its just life. Not everyone is gonna be happy to acknowledge the other team straight away 100% of the time. To call them wankers and get so angry is jsut stupid. Does every player clap every ton every time in every game? F**k off they do.
I remember when Australia were trying to build up back to a good team in the 80's, i believe Border actually told the Aussie players to not be so matey with the English, he wanted the team to hate them and build some hostility as he felt the team had grown soft due to all the good natured play of recent times. Maybe thats what the Aussies need to do again.
I don't give a F**k if you don't agree with me, but thats how i feel. Cricket at the end of the day is just another sport, and not everyone is gonna like it when another team is smashing you. You won't see manc players applauding if say Gerrard knocked a hattrick past them.
