I agree with at least one Aussie and that's saying a lot during this India-Aussie cricket crisis. But the Aussie in question is Peter Roebuck. And I agree when he says that the Indian team should pack bags and head home.
I agree that there are millions at stake but they don't matter when your honor is at stake too. It can be argued that this situation has to be dealt with professionally. Sadly, professionalism - like maturity - doesn't work when practised by one side alone. And the philosophy of "turning the other cheek" - though lofty in the long run - encourages the party at fault in the short run.
So guys, please come back home. Ricky Ponting and his band of ruffians are playing the version of cricket called "Galli Cricket" that is practiced in the bylanes (gallis) of India.
It's the only version of cricket that allows a kid who has brought the bat to keep batting till he is given out 4 times!
