How can we make Cricket Australia Understand?

How do we make the Australian cricketers understand what we mean when we say 'The Aussies don't play the game in the right spirit?'

 

Undoubtedly, the win at all cost attitude has made Australia a dominant cricketing nation for the last decade and more. It has also spawned infuriated complaints from other cricketing nations that 'Australia doesn't play the game in the right spirit'.

 

The press conference at the end of the Sydney Test, was a classic example of their incomprehensibility. When asked a persistent question about a catch; Ponting in turn asked 'are you questioning my integrity?'

 

Actually, his question sums it up. Being an insular sporting nation, Australia is yet to learn and understand how other sporting nations perceive their sporting values.

 

Someone somewhere has to sit down with the Australian players and make them understand that the onus is on Australia to change its attitude to the game and not the other way around.
