Australian Cricket has gone to its farcical limits
2008-01-08 02:56:00 I am not sure why Indians have still not packed their bags. What stops them? Is series and cricket more important than national pride? Revered Australian cricket writer Peter Roebuck has echoed the sentiments I am having right now aptly in his column in Sydney Morning Herald Here are some snippets from his column: RICKY PONTING must be sacked as captain of the Australian cricket team. If Cricket Australia cares a fig for the tattered reputation of our national team in our national sport, it will not for a moment longer tolerate the sort of arrogant and abrasive conduct seen from the captain and his senior players over the past few days. Beyond comparison it was the ugliest performance put up by an Australian side for 20 years. The only surprising part of it is that the Indians have not packed their bags and gone home.

Or at least that?s the perception: in a land of dashers and crashers Langer is seen as a grafter, a battler, only ever a couple of failures away from oblivion.The reality is somewhat different.
