Why? Because Australia did not win?

And you Aussies can't even play the 4-0 card anymore. Australia's glory period is over mate. Too bad they didn't get to host a WC under Waugh or Punter

Because the overall games were awful, that's why.

Hey, at least Australia had a glory period, a 20+ year period I might add. It was nice being leagues better than everyone in a time where cricket was at it's peak, so many good players across so many great nations. Now that the sport is dying India manages to snatch a little success due to every other nation being piss poor. Congratulations on being the least worse cricketing nation for a brief period.

That is true. 90's and 2000's was a glorious time in the sport and Australia ripped the competition clean then but for such a great team, they were a team of the least sporting players in the world. Bar Glichrist, I don't think there was a single fair player in Australia. Bunch of sledging wankers

Could say that about a lot of Chelsea players under Mourinho, are they wankers?

You have a stat to prove that?

You really don't want me to bring up all the ZDF love movies that are being broadcasted on Sundays

Just because they are love movies, it doesnt mean they are bad. They are simply a genre you dont like!

German movies are better than American, Britsh, Spanish, French, Indian, Brazilian, etc...

Football is different. All 22 players vying for the same thing, of course there will antics to take advantage.

But in cricket there is no need to hurl insults at the batsman in order to take a wicket. Australia can justify it any way they want but some of the things they resorted to was very extreme.

Nah, they all have great movies individually. No need to lump them into nationalities.

Have I said otherwise?

German movies in general are better, not that the best ones are German!

Shame you guys suck at it.

Suck? Come on @, you are just being unreasonable. Accept the fact that you guys could never play spin and hence couldn't fair well in India ever.

You are Bitter. Other nation being piss poor? Dafuq? South Africa are playing some of their best cricket ever. So are England.West Indies are current T20 champions. We have some very good youngsters coming up, Only Australia have declined, doesn't mean the whole sport is dying. Everything that goes up , comes down! Australia had their up for so many years, time for some lows now!! Hope they pick up by the time next world cup come down under!

No.

Now don't tell me "How does Brian Lara's dick taste" is harmless banter there!

I wouldn't say that. I'd say the ratio is about even.

Maybe towards strangers it's an insult but I've said several similar things to my friends today. Personally I wouldn't get my knickers in a know if some dick said that to me on the cricket pitch, hell I'd probably say it to start with.

Stop trying to make your victories seem greater than they are. It's not a good look.

It is nice to hear it is affordable, movie prices on. The US cinema prices are very high and raise every year. It makes it hard to take a family to see a movie, unless it is at a theater that runs movies that are not first run theaters. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Really? I thought movie prices would be kind of similar across the world. Although i gotta say a small bucket of popcorn and a large pepsi costs just marginally less than the ticket itself! Don't know if the ticket price is less or the snack prices are incredibly high!

Mate, I've come to terms with it. No need to live in denial, it's healthier to accept it for what it is.

Never got this mentality. Anyway that team is over. Gilchrist, the last remaining one retired from the IPL this week. Fairytale ending as well.

I really hope England thrash Australia this summer. Especially in the Oval

You are making it sound like we are the worst ever side to play cricket! And if that is what you think, you are just being bitter. Accept that. Yes, our team is not a patch on the great Australian side of PAST and no team might be able to reach that height but that doesn't be little what other teams today have achieved.
