Australians vs. Off Spinners  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 73/100. elsoft12 (1039)   ranked 1,843 out of 1,869 in cricket 5 years ago

Why do Australians have all kind of problems with the Off spinners whether its Harbajan Singh or Muralitharan...And Their crowd behaviour seems to be as bad as the teams'.

Can anybody suggest steps to civilize the Australians?

Well the Aussies are afraid of Spinners so is the fact known by their crowds so they behave in such a way so as to keep off-spinners out of the feild by any possible ways.

Australians are only human. they can't be the best at everything so their downside is the off spinner.

Compared to some behaviour on the sub continents the Australian crowds of late has been incredibly civilized.

Are you sure you are not just a sore loser?


myLot reputation of 73/100. elsoft12 (1039)   ranked 1,843 out of 1,869 in cricket  5 years ago

Hello,
Thanks for your comments.Its was nice to hear your opinion.
Its been never been any second thought about the Australian cricket team performance.They are definetely the best team now in both forms of cricket.There is no doubt about that...And teams playing them really need to pick their game up to compete with the team.And losing to Australia ..is a part of the learning curve,of course.
However the behaviour of certain sections of the crowd and some of the players in the current Australian team is really worse..I mean how can they (the crowd) physically charge at a visiting team player(Muttiah Muralitharan,who I should say is a thorough Gentleman) This shows the Aussie people in a very poor light I must say.
And the crowd in sub continent ..I can say are just reacting to these episodes...How can you expect a Aussie team to be treated properly if they can treat the visitors properly?


myLot reputation of 98/100. LouRhi (832)   ranked 186 out of 1,869 in cricket  5 years ago

We could go on forever about who started the bad behavior and never get anywhere.

The point I was trying to make is that Australian sport fans are no more uncivilized than any other nations.

Some will always make the wrong choices and bring everyone else down, this is not just limited to Australians. I think you were being very unfairly harsh.

It is not just Australians that need to change their attitude and pointing the finger is never going to help anyone.


myLot reputation of 73/100. elsoft12 (1039)   ranked 1,843 out of 1,869 in cricket  5 years ago

Hi...Yea your right that the argument can never really end.

Let me share with you that I have tremendous respect for Australia...They play really high grade sport stuff almost in every sport they play.And I should say the way they treat Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman is awesome.

But you know some of these incidents ..that too consistently against the same people are really upsetting...May be its some group of people doing it..however unfortunately these things are going on forever.There must be some ending to these of course..Iam really sorry for Harbhajan and Murali.

Never mind..its good that we are able to meet with nice discussion.


myLot reputation of 98/100. LouRhi (832)   ranked 186 out of 1,869 in cricket  5 years ago

Yes I too feel for those who are continually getting attacked in one way or another. There is no need for it and it is not what sport is about. Some people are just so narrow minded, maybe it stems from some underlying fear.

Please be assured though that not all Australians are like that!

I am also glad that we were able to met and discuss this. Fingers crossed that Friday gives us a good game to watch!


myLot reputation of 73/100. elsoft12 (1039)   ranked 1,843 out of 1,869 in cricket  5 years ago

Thats right..I understand the way you communicate..They are good people in Australia as well...hahahha..

Lets enjoy the discussion and the cricket as well...


myLot reputation of 98/100. LouRhi (832)   ranked 186 out of 1,869 in cricket  5 years ago

Great idea, it is such a shame that today was a washout as well. Not really turning out to be a great series really is it?

The worst part is that most of Australia is in a drought so everyone keeps carrying on about how great the rain is (which it is I must admit) but does it have to keep raining at the cricket???


myLot reputation of 73/100. elsoft12 (1039)   ranked 1,843 out of 1,869 in cricket  5 years ago

Yea..the series started with the blessing of the rain god ..so hopefully it will go on well..I guess the other matches are out of Brisbane..Hopefully we can have some great stuff coming up in the Huge..and colorful Aussie grounds....

You know ..Melbornue is one of my Fav. stadiums..I would like to six hit on this ground...hahaha


myLot reputation of 98/100. LouRhi (832)   ranked 186 out of 1,869 in cricket  5 years ago

The MCG is a great ground. I have seen a few games there in person and the atmosphere is just amazing. Especially since I am from a small country town. The crowd at the MCG is nearly half the size of where I live!


myLot reputation of 73/100. elsoft12 (1039)   ranked 1,843 out of 1,869 in cricket  5 years ago

Hahaha..Thats interesting...Can I hope to see u on Television this series...


myLot reputation of 98/100. LouRhi (832)   ranked 186 out of 1,869 in cricket  5 years ago

Uhmmm no, sorry. It is about 4000km away at the moment. It was so long ago now that I was there I don't think I can even remember who Aust played! It was so exciting though!


myLot reputation of 73/100. elsoft12 (1039)   ranked 1,843 out of 1,869 in cricket  5 years ago

Dont worry ..I hope you have the Television You can just enjoy the game with a coke and popcorn and comfort of home...It may not really simulate the atmosphere of the stadium..However you have the leisure and of course colourful ads..in between.
