Australia should be embarrassed

One of the first things you learn as a child playing sport in Australia is that the team is more important than the individual.

Today Australia did the opposite.

They gave away a test win, a test win that would draw the series, and keep the trophy, so that Ricky Ponting wouldn’t be suspended.

That is unacceptable.

Fuck Ricky Ponting.

The team needs to win.

I don’t care if he misses a test match because of slow over rate.

I want Australia to win the test.

Bowling Mike Hussey and Cameron White when India are imploding is stupid.

The wall was reversing, give Krejza someone at the other end that will help him.

Not a nervous looking White, or a docile looking Hussey.

Watson or Johnson should have been bowling.

They should have tried to win the game, and Ponting would have been a casualty along the way.

Like a player going out to bat with an injury to win the game, even though he knows he is making it worse.

That is supposed to be how we play the game.

But this chicken shit pouncing around is pathetic.

It is, to quote many a Redneck conservative idiotic Australian, Un-Australian.

Ricky Ponting deserves to be suspended.

Australia’s over rates are terrible.

But protecting him and losing a game is fucked up.

This isn’t even the first time this has happened, it happened in Perth, and Australia lost.

There it didn’t matter, here it does.

If the team got together and decided this, than they should be ashamed to be Australian cricketers.

The win is more important than the individual.

Ponting should have stood up as the Captain and said that winning this test was more important than him playing in the next test.

If he didn’t do that, then he should never play for Australia again.www.cricketwithballs.com... We constantly get sodomized down the legside
