Australian Media coverage: No mention about loss

[arkay]

http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/ Typical of Aussie media: There is not even a single headline about aussie lost to India in twenty 20 headline. On the contrary, there is enough coverage about Hussey having hamstring injury. A true champion should know how to accept defeat more gracefully. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/index.html Hussey injured as India beat Australia Is this the reason why Aussie lost? No coverage from sports writer about the match. The only coverage is from AFP. At last, there is some coverage from news.com.au

On the contrary, it's good that their media does not start hounding the team and players after these losses.

did you not read the article above that "dhoni game for a laugh"? it is full of praise for sreesanth, yuvraj and dhoni. the only irksome sentence is "... as india prevailed over a weekened australia" which is fairly genuine considering their best batsman is sitting at home.

go home, pick up a decent book and read it instead rather than scourging the net at any signs of inadequate praise heaping on a team which just won a lottery. i am joyful that we won, but i dont read too much into a game meant for laugh and tickels.

oh yeah another thing... cricket is not the biggest sport in Australia. its australian rules football and rugby. cricket is at par with soccer in popularity (if not lower). when was the last time our headlines screamed that australia beat us 3-1 in hockey? or for that fact, when did our headlines scream that we just beat australi 2-1 in hockey (which we just did and lost only in the final to south korea).

not everybody is like us who put negative news at the front

not everybody is like us who put negative news at the front

or maybe cricket is not a driving force in their life.

and dada... putting your negative news on the front, be it for kicks or ratings or higher sales serves the purpose of reminding the people of what is going wrong and how it ought to be fixed. regretably, a disturbing majority of indian masses seem to have grown a apathetic disconnection with the rest of their country/world.
