Australians are savage when national teams fail. One only has to look at how the nation has turned on the Australian cricket team this week to see this in action. The comments across the counter are blunt, everyone has an opinion it seems. Fair enough given that many of us define ourselves as a nation by the success of those representing us on the field.
I was looking forward to the Boxing Day test to move our stock of Australian cricket calendars. Sadly, we look set to be left with this stock. If I had the room, I’d set the calendar up as a dart board and run an in store competition to take out those who have let their country down … and at least have some fun with the calendars I have left.
It’s pathetic really, talking like this about a national team. I ought to be ashamed.
