Changing topic from cricket to soccer, in the last soccer world cup England was playing against Australia, as Australia soccer team began sledging and fowl play as they try in cricket, England retaliated and injured for of their players.I liked Ausies,, I was there two years back for a year for professional commitments, and the way we work together to achieve the specific target and the way they work like die hard spirit, and the way they behave in office environment is fantastic, I like their attitude, anything but to win at any cost, in what so ever way, but what I do not like Ponitng even after retiring from cricket he continues to offend great cricketers, what is the worth of it.Aussies were never known to be polite and humble in the field or off the field. All big names of OZ cricket did something very objectionable at times.
And that is why they were the unfavorite champions. At least I never loved them. I do have respect for other champs - the way Darren Sammy led West Indies to victory in the last T20 WC. That player is indeed respectable. But I don't feel the same respect for Ponting and neither will I feel ever, no matter how much he has achieved.
Having an attitude to 'Win at any cost' doesn't mean having unruly and a street fighter attitude. One can be polite and can achieve his desired goals. In this respect Ponting is a misfit in any game.
I think the Aussies can never be role models. Great players there used to sledge - and they did it everywhere in the world - when things looked like going out of their hands. They used words to disturb the opposition and score one over them. Is this a sign of sportsmanship?
What one can say in a nutshell is that the Aussies behave the same when it comes to international sports. I don't know about domestic sports and it doesn't matter to others as well. But if that is the identity of the people Down Under, all the sportiing authorities should take a serious note of this.
They cannot hide under "sports are getting competitive and such things are a part of the game". Cricket has always been a gentleman's game, and now...

In general Aussie cricketers are bullies. And the table topper is Ricky Ponting who was warned several times even by his own Board.

If that's the case, then why did he remain at the helm or even in the team for that matter? The board could have asked him to go. Or was that becuase he was in good form that he was allowed to stay ignoring his bad record?

With all said and done the fact is Ponting's cricketing prowess is well known to the world and Australian cricket board. This aspect could not be ignored by the board. Perhaps it might have thought Ponting will mend his ways in due course.

Perhaps that's the only way to deal with Aussies. Deal with them in their only language they know.

Die hard sportive spirit without sportsman spirit is an exercise in futility.

absolutely, sports is sports and one has to live without it at some point of time, just like Ponitng and would be Sachin soon after retirements.Die hard game spirit is ok nothing wrong with it but gamesmanships should be shown at the end of the match.Changing topic from cricket to soccer, in the last soccer world cup England was playing against Australia, as Australia soccer team began sledging and fowl play as they try in cricket, England retaliated and injured for of their players.I liked Ausies,, I was there two years back for a year for professional commitments, and the way we work together to achieve the specific target and the way they work like die hard spirit, and the way they behave in office environment is fantastic, I like their attitude, anything but to win at any cost, in what so ever way, but what I do not like Ponitng even after retiring from cricket he continues to offend great cricketers, what is the worth of it.Aussies were never known to be polite and humble in the field or off the field.

This is a game played by true gentlemen like Garfield Sobers and Don Bradman. And many such others made a place in history more by their exemplary behavior than by ther ability in the game.
