Disaster down under - 2

Cricket Australia's version of 'hard and fair' play is too absurd a quote with the onfield behaviour of their players.  Mr.Symond's suddenly seems to be virtue rebirth after all the onfield antics that he exhibited during visit to India.  I doubt whether he could watch this game with his kids and say that he played fair and hard.  Mr.Symond's has redefined the word fair.

We looked at players like Sir Don Bradman, Mark Taylor and recently Gilchrist with pride because of their integrity and sportsmanship even in the most demanding situations.  That hard earned reputation which is the true Australian spirit has been vandalised by its recent players with zero morality.  All these matches should be rated as parental guidance as kids would be wrongly led to believe that these are 'fair and hard' cricket.  Cricket Australia stop ragging the visiting teams to your country and mend your brand name and reputation.
