19.01.2022 So what should we make of the Australian cricket team's progress since the cheating scandal? What should we be looking for from Cricket Australia's entire organisation? Well, I feel that we still don't understand what is wrong with our culture. The 'Barassi style' winning isn't everything, it's the only thing mentality that has evolved since the 'chappell' era has led us to being the most despised cricket nation. Is that what we want? In the late 1970's the great Pakistani al...l rounder Asif Iqbal described us as 'ugly, rude, swearing Australians! Sir Richard Hadlee also stated that if his children carried on like the Australian cricket team he would 'smack their backsides'! More recently, England's Moeen Ali believed the Australian team under Steve Smith consistently went too far with the on field chatter. Maybe every cricketer that is selected to represent us should listen to Bradman's speech. The 'Don' states that competitive spirit and drive for success is compatible with the highest level of sportsmanship. International diplomacy has never been more important and perhaps cricket can be a tool to make a better world! In my mind, current results are secondary to how we are being perceived by our opponents. We will always be competitive so I feel we need to change our mindset as to what is more important in the bigger picture. OK, so how has Tim Paine gone so far? I think he has managed the tricky situation pretty well. His altercation with Risbah Pant and subsequent photos of Pant holding his kids was amusing and harmless. I didn't notice any send offs or other chatter from the team during the summer so let's hope this will continue. How will the team go when Warner and Smith return? Jury still out!
