...
We are.
We’re not fu©king @ssholes, mind you, but we are @ssholes.
Australia has one culture, winning, be it Grammys, Oscars or World Cups, we do it at an amazingly high level.
If we aren’t the best sporting nation on earth, we are pretty damn close.
There aren’t many sports we don’t have world class performers in.
Hell we even win winter Olympic medals.
Sport is not our religion, winning is.
And we are ruthless about it.
Friendships are lost.
Injuries are ignored.
Rules are bent.
The Opposition is intimidated.
Anything we can do to beat you.
It was the way I was brought up.
On the field we believe alls fair in love and war, sure we have moments where we are nice, even in sports, but we still want to win.
Afterwards have a beer with the guy you called a flaming @ss muncher, just trying to fire you up chance, want a cold one?
Now they are dobbing in cricketers, are they serious?
Either play like the @ssholes we were born to be, or straighten up and fly right, don’t put your feet on either side of the fence and ride it.
When the Australians first started trying to soften up their image I thought it was a joke.
A scientologist doesn’t covert to Judaism.
Why would they bother, it’s about winning, not being liked.
Lots of people like Sri Lanka and New Zealand, how does that work out for them.
Three or so years have passed and Australia’s new nice guy tag still doesn’t fit correctly.
How could it.
Ponting is a street fighter. The working class boy who loves a scrap, and would smack you over the head with a chair to defeat you.
Hayden is a Christian soldier. Like Dubya Bush before him, he is an evangelical fighter who doesn’t let knowledge or common sense affect his anger.
Roy is a black man from new texas (queensland), imagine the ©rap he has had to deal with his whole life. If that hasn’t made him harder than a teenager in a nudie club, I don’t know what would.
Hogg is 6 tests into a career, has no real talent, and is sledging guys with over 5000 test runs. Imagine what he did to the dogs on his old postmans route.
Before them were men like Justin Langer, who I personally saw threaten at least 3 Victorians with violence.
Steve Waugh, a man who believed in scarring the opposition for life and whose face broke Jason Gillespies leg.
And Allan Border, the man who told Dean Jones he was soft, as he threw up in India whilst making a double hundred.
No I wasn’t one of the guys Langer threatened, I’m not that silly.
In Aussie rules football I barrack for Collingwood, everyone hates Collingwood. That’s the way it should be. I couldn’t stand it if I barracked for a side that provoked no reaction.
I don’t know why this team decided to be liked, but I can only imagine it had something to do with making fat cash off sponsors.
Personally I think they make enough cash from cricket, they should concentrate on winning cricket matches.
If they really want to do something for their image, they can always do what Steve Waugh did, feed the starving limbless children.
Didn’t matter that Steve would have strangled an Indian to win a test on the pitch, because he did nice tings off the pitch.
India would love to be 2 zip right now, Bangladesh would love to win 2 tests.
Australia aren’t ever going to be completely nice, cause it aint in is.
So let’s drop the act gents, if nice guys finished first, we would have tried it already.www.cricketwithballs.com "the hooking & pulling specialists"
