The kangaroos are hopping mad!

There are some people who think before they speak, some who think after they speak and then some who don’t think either before or after they speak. Read what Australian governor general Michael Jeffery, the British queen's representative in Australia, has to say about the recent outcome of the whole Harbhajan singh-Symonds issue:

"While we should be playing the game tough and hard and all of that sort of thing, I think there's also a need to really take care of the fundamental courtesies and good manners”.

And decide which category he belongs to.

As for me, I will give him benefit of doubt and assume that he isn’t referring to the Indians because if anyone lacks basic courtesies and manners it’s “Picky Ranting” and his thugs.

It’s funny the way the Australian media is ranting about India wielding power and “money talking”. They are making it sound as if it was Indian team’s fault that they decided not to put up with whatever “monkey” tricks the Aussies and the so-called umpires were upto. Or are they frustrated that their team couldn’t break the record of “16 straight wins”? That they won the series by a narrow 2-1 with the caveat that the result could have been easily different if it were not for the controversial decisions by Buckner?

I don’t know whether the Australian team is the best in the world. But I know that they are the worst losers. And that doesn’t put any sheen on their wins.

So though the kangaroos are hopping mad the Indian tigers shouldn’t care.
