graphic23 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hahaha ... well you can always Yahoo search, or MSN Live search, or A1 search, or Cuil search, or use any of the other non-Google search engines. I dont actually recall an Indian player complaining about a pitch, unlike Australian players in the past. After that NZ tour 2002, Sachin himself complained about the quality of pitches in NZ saying that he had never seen such poor pitches before anywhere. Link to comment
zochja Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 As an Australian it is very hard to read comments in this forum. It is full of negativity and always a lot of sour grapes directed towards Australians. I understand that we Australians are disliked by Indians as mentioned in a previous thread, actually the word hated was mentioned, but I never see this attitude when I am talking to Indians here in Australia. Indians are always very nice to talk to hear in Australia and I get along with them very well, so why is it always when an Indian is talking to another Indian that we only here how you really feel? We would love to hear how you really feel more often, rather than hiding it etc. Link to comment
bharat297 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 ^ Being an Indian-Australia I can say that I have no problem with Australians in general. I just dont like their cricket team (mainly the way they go about their cricket) and the majority of the people in the media. But the average Australians I encounter on a day-to-day basis are genuinely nice honest people. Link to comment

zochja Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Fair enough then, so it is the Australians sportsmanhip that perhaps Indians feel is lacking a little? Link to comment
gs Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Who cares what they give as an excuse, its not for us to see, they are simply not good enough, period !!! World Chimps !!! :winky: Are you referring to them as Monkeys?!? :cantstop: Link to comment
graphic23 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Can I please have a link? Okay, I've been reading various interviews and articles about Sachin for a long time now. I don't know where exactly I read it but he did mention it. I have no doubts about that. Sorry I couldn't find a link. Link to comment
bharat297 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Did he make an official complaint or was this just something he said in an interview? Because Ponting made an official complaint to the match review committee about the Mumbai pitch. Link to comment

In my personal opinion I dont think the Australian cricket team have conducted themselves in a dignified manner when they have been winning. Im just comparing this team to the West Indies team of the 1970s and 1980s, and I just feel the way they have carried on and complained when things have gone against them is not something they should be proud of. Having said that the behaviour of some Indian players has been far from perfect aswell. Link to comment
