"the lengths their sportsman go to, to achieve success" resonate in my mind for some reason

^^ well, you don't get to be the fifth umpire without getting your hands dirty, I guess

You know...at the end of the Sydney test...when Ishant was dismissed and Oz won the match and they were jumping around like a bunch of Bonobos on heat...I was so disgusted I just laughed and smiled a wry smile...strange reaction you might think. But it occured to me that if they wanted to play cricket in such a farcical manner, then all one could do was laugh...it was high farce and the celebrations displayed for all who could see, the pyrrhic nature of the win at all costs mentality.

^^ yea, I was so proud of our team after the sydney test, can't say I felt the same way before the start of the CB series when the verdict was handed You got close to a dozen important decisions and the best you can do is win by the skin of your teeth? ..... panies, have your freaking god - forsaken win. No wonder Perth was so satisfying, dragging these cheats back to planet earth by comprehensively beating them in four days when they expected to beat us in three
