I'm sure the next few days, you'd be able to say the opposite of the indians.
You're right, it was ambiguous. Let me clarify by saying they (I'm talking the collective Indian Cricket System, but mostly referring to the BCCI) were the worst kinds of losers after the Sydney test. I'm hoping such a magnificant performance as they've just put in will help them put it behind them.
well I disagree -

Good to see the Indians go 2-1 up in the series!
The test proved that the Australian team at the moment are relying on 3 or 4 players at most. The rest are just passengers. It really was another DisaPonting effort.
Arguably Clarke's brain explosion ended up costing Australia the match. Real leadership material there, idiot. I wonder if he will be punished unnecessarily for years to come because of that, ala Martyn. I bet he would be if he was from WA...
And Symonds, you are a complete and total choad. If you want to go out in the media, talking about getting good decisions and getting bad ones, you've got to cop it sweet. Especially when you refuse to walk. After being gifted runs in this series, to dissent is totally unacceptable and he should be ashamed of himself.
But Laxman... I can't remember actually enjoying watching a batsman play as much as I enjoy watching him play. Pure genius. Martyn when he was in form for WA, and not being picked for Australia, is perhaps the only thing that rivals that.
abusing each other, so it was closed..I wanted to post my comment on the other thread about "sacking Ricky Ponting" but couldn't, because it was closed by Prawn. Too many of you bozos
Anyway... there were a couple of you punters really getting stuck into the Australian Cricket team. I guess you are happy now that you have cut them down to size. And of course now we have the G.G. doing it. Having said that, some of the criticism against the Australians did have some basis but some people just went too far and were not balanced in their criticism. If the Australian are really that bad, then the Indians are grovelling in the dirt. Their shameful behaviour of recent times http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23130211-601,00.html makes the aussie cricketers look like gentlemen. Interesting to see that even Peter Roebuck has tempered his criticism of the Australian cricket team, and almost suggests that Ponting has learnt something positive from all this. But the ICC should have called their bluff and let them bugger off like the petulant children they are. And what about the ICC - bunch of lame duck they are, obviously subservient to the BCCI, who, also in Peter Roebuck's words "..... liaison with the thieves and thugs running Zimbabwean cricket".
All I can say is - What is 11 bus drivers dressed in white? Why, the Indian cricket team of course.
I believe (hope) the Australian cricketers have learnt some important lessons from all this and will probably (hopefully) come out of this wiser and stronger. But I doubt the same of the Indian team, and particularly the BCCI.
I support :aus:
And that gives them the excuse to manipulate the rules, hold the game to randsom and make sure their players get special treatment?
I bet they did. They learned they're still the best cricket team in the world, despite losing 4 of their best players. They also learned that the Indian team are chokers and that some of them can't tell left from right. And they learnt that some of the players and the BCCI are immature sooks. Oh and the indian media contingent are arrogent tnucs.
Perhaps we can get rid of Ponting and all our other world class crickets that are clearly better than any of the billion odd people in india so they have a chance of winning next time? People bagging Ponting has nothing to do with their judgement of his political acumen, just that he's better AND he doesn't cowtow to the BCCI.
Time to update the meds...
