Aussies love guys who dont give it back to them...I bet they are not going to like the Delhi boyz GG & Virat. They will give them enough MC' date=' BC..[/quote'] The problem with some Indian players is that they don't know how to sledge within boundaries, they take it personally and then do something stupid and end up getting punished. I'm not saying that Aussies are saints, just that Indians cross the line too often. As for Aussies respect srt & co cuz they dont say much, if VK ever does what vvs has, then I'm sure he'll be respected. West Indians of 70-80s are still loved here and they were ruthless Just to let you know a lot of people don't like symonds here ... Pup is also not popular and people do worry that the Aussies haven't earned mush respect because of their behavior on the field.

Little master will be a ton of trouble Chloe Saltau December 9, 2011 DELAYED Sachification is what The Guardian called it - the long wait for Sachin Tendulkar's 100th international hundred - and the Sachification of Australia began last night when Tendulkar and six of his teammates landed in Melbourne to get an early start at plotting their nation's first series win on Australian soil. In the two decades since Tendulkar first displayed his serene genius in Australia, India has won just two Tests here - one in Adelaide eight years ago and one in Perth during the tempestuous tour of 2007-08. The anticipation of Tendulkar's century of centuries, nine months in the making, has become a mania in a country of more than 1 billion, which is eager for distractions from unsettled times. 'It has become an obsession,'' said Harsha Bhogle, the Indian cricket commentator and writer whose voice will be heard on ABC Radio from Boxing Day. ''Actually, we were hoping he would play the one-dayers [at home against the West Indies], get a hundred, get it out of the way and we could go back to thinking about something else. ''The driver who dropped me to the airport today asked me: 'When is he going to get a hundred? My father's blood pressure is rising fast.' ''Tendulkar's hundred will allow people to forget that inflation is at a record high, that there there is a new corruption scandal every day.'' The Mumbai Cricket Association was poised to shower its hero with 100 gold coins if he reached the milestone in the recent Test against the West Indies but Tendulkar fell six runs short. He was rested from the one-day series to prepare for his last tour of Australia, which he has excited with six of his 51 Test centuries. A seventh would carve for Tendulkar yet another special place in the history of Australia-India combat. ''I think he would love to get it anywhere but he would really love to get it in Australia on Boxing Day,'' Bhogle said. Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, V. V. S. Laxman, Pragyan Ojha, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Wriddhiman Saha will spend the next several days in Melbourne before the first of two tour matches against a Cricket Australia chairman's XI in Canberra from December 15. Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman, the three ageing champions, represent the biggest threat to Australia's developing bowling attack and they are determined not to let a rushed preparation compromise their last attempt at beating Australia at home. Dravid's remarkable renaissance has produced five centuries in the time Tendulkar has been chasing his 100th. Dravid looked shot when he left Australia after a torrid series four years ago but he is back, age 38, seeking the ultimate farewell. Before leaving India, Dravid said he still regarded Ricky Ponting - who is fighting for his career as Dravid was on his previous visit - as a great player. ''He is still one of the most feared [batsmen],'' he told ESPNcricinfo.com. Not as feared, though, as Tendulkar on the scent of his 100th hundred. Total Sachification awaits. Sydney Morning Herald

They don't count. Hater!!
It's not like that. Nobody hates VVS or RD. But the problem is, why so many of anti-fantics remember their love for VVS, RD, VS, Ponting, Kallis, only when any Sachin fan shows his love for their hero. I don't think this is because of any love for VVS or RD. It is plain jealousy with Sachin-fan boys. It It's difficult to understand exact reason for this envy but psychologically a closer phenomena would be jealousy that many guys in college would have with the one who has got involved in a love affiar. Similarly anti-fanatics feel jealous that how fan-boys can celebrate so much, because Sachinists as they are, while they are left with twiddling their thumbs. This thread is perfect example - one Sachin devotee opens a thread on how Australians love and respect Sachin. But then it was found very necessary to drag VVS /RD into that, just because Sachin is mentioned. Guys RD and VVS have done enough by themselves in life and they don't need a Sachin to get some attention. It has become a trend now. You open a thread on Sachin, set of people start bringing in others, comparisons, RPT etc etc. I say if you love any other player so much, why don't you open a thread on him and eulogize. Why wait for a Sachin fan boy to start a thread?

Seriously and even if he doesn't we will get his son Arjun into the team :--D :yay:
Father-son should play together and create a record. Padosis will see it, get jealous, and in order to try and match up, get Kamral Akmal and his son to play together, and both of them would eventually get banned for match fixing. And a film will be made on that. :yay:
