Why so much dislike for Australia ?

Don't hold back. Interested in reading the responses.

I thin its the images of the Sydney test coming into our minds. :((

I don't really dislike Australia as much as some of the others and on the whole, generally support the (new) Australian team. But things that I hate about australian cricket are: - Twatson - Australian Media (greats like Malcom Conn etc) - Getting away with shite when it comes to the match referee - Saying just about everything under the sun and then saying "Aww, Look! I never meant it personally mate" - Brad Haddin - Twatson - Twatson's batting - Twatson's bowling - Twatson's attitude - Twatson's hair etc...

1)they are not good winners 2)they talk about mental disintegration but cant take what they dish out 3)they are cheaters,on par with the pakis.

Dislike is a strong word for me. I don't dislike them. I get pissed off with Punter and co. Despite their antics i really loved the unit led by Waugh. Most it can be attributed to Punter's whinging after he took over captaincy.

1.) They can dish it out but can't take it .... Who has ever reported the Aussies for sledging, but the as soon as Bhajji says anything, it time to tell the teacher. 2.) Not just cheating but blatant cheating. Not even coming clean when caught on TV [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bwn-uAWdoQ]YouTube- Ponting's integrity and now Haddin too joins cheaters club[/ame]

baahh.... someone shud start a thread why so much sudden love for Australia

[Sooda]

Alot of it is down to their prolonged era of success so its 'good' to see them lose- theres a parallel in football of teams like Manchester Utd, so people are part of the Anyone But Man U brigade -always wanting em to lose.

On/Off field behavior is one thing and sporting genius & ability another. It must hurt God's fans that Ponting, for all the flaws he has, will overtake Sachin as the highest runs scorer in tests :winky:

There is a difference between talking and twating.

Sorry, but I am at a loss to understand how this racist's non sensical ramblings are a reflection of the nation's population ? Unless you are implying the whole country is racist and the example you cited is just a drop in the ocean

I dont know. Came across this randomly. And tbh, I agree with it. It says "some" at every point, to give some credit

I like this part actually- I know there are very few people like me in Australia and that even our fellow Australians hate us. But we will not cease to exist, we will not correct ourselves and we will continue fighting for our people, even though they think we are idiots and a shame to Australia ! Apart from this - They provided people like me unparalleled support and coverage in the fight against “the Indian” Harbhajan Singh during the infamous Sydney test saga in early 2008 when our boy Andrew Symonds justificably ran his mouth against the Indian because he was looking good at the middle. But it was unacceptable to see Harbhajan respond to our “good humor” with some of his own brand of humor and Ricky and the guys rightly accused the innocent Hindu, eventhough we proudly preach to the world that “what’s said on the field stays on the field”. That law is however, only applicable when we sledge, but the moment we are sledged, our skippy boy Punter runs like a dog with his ass on fire to the Match referee’s room to complain (like a ‘lil bully whose beaten at his own game) about the players from the opposition. Talking about the Harbhajan-Symonds incident, people like me immediately contacted our friends in the media and they were more than happy to cook-up stories for us to get back to the Indians. “Baiting Harbhajan the headstrong” was a great article with a tinge of “good humor”. The ‘Blunt Instrument’ John Birmigham also wrote a wonderful article about how people of different colors behave differently in different circumstances. Click HERE. Our friend in the media Andrew Stevenson wrote perhaps the most “honest” article to date about how CASTE plays an important role in determining who plays for the Indian team. Click HERE. Amazing article, worth a read ! Unfortunately, our claims fell in the face although people like me still believe that it was BCCI’s financial power that caused the evidence to disappear and allowed Harbhajan to get away scot-free. The Indians told us long ago that Symonds is a nut-case but people like me chose not to believe him, not to punish him after he falsely blamed an innocent bloke of being racist and we brushed all his crap under the mat. But ofcourse the Indians were right as was proven with respect to his behavior which, all thanks to our chosen negligence deteriorated day-by-day and finally culminated into him being sent to a psychiatrist for treatment. But despite that, people like me choose to believe that India has a hand in that incident too coz we are too smart to make mistakes. People like me believe we are the best sledgers in world cricket and are very creative with them. But if someone responds to our sledges like Harbhajan did, we lose it. How dare he insults Symonds’ mom although people like me believe our players are justified in asking people how their captain’s d*cks are, in passing judgements regarding countries like Sri Lanka and rightly referring to them as “black****s”. It is ridiculous to see the Indian crowds ranting our players although we believe we can say whatever we wanna on our grounds, racially abuse the Indians, Sri Lankans and South Africans at will. But it is completely unacceptable to see them doing the same with us because we are Australians and we are always right.

Sorry' date=' but I am at a loss to understand how this racist's non sensical ramblings are a reflection of the nation's population ? Unless you are implying the whole country is racist and the example you cited is just a drop in the ocean[/quote'] Agree, the real reflection would be the official racist policies and their proud leaders who defend them and thus get elected time after time. And yes, the whole nation is more racist than most other developed countries. Their on-field behavior is a direct result of that mentality.

i just dislike the fact that they get away with provoking other teams. otherwise, they are a team of hardworkers who sweat it out and play with a will to win. honestly i wish we as a cricket world had atleast 30 nations playing cricket and atleast 3-4 teams who play as well as these aussies.
