Symonds suffers from persecution complex. He allowed himself to be used in Ponting's game plan. Ultimately truth has prevailed and there is no one on his side. He has good reasons to feel shattered. Moral: Follow your conscience and be truthful. Don't allow yourself to be used. Ultimately truth truimphs.
India : True winners Sri Lanka : Potential winners Pakistan : Ruins of a great cricketing nation England : Stupid Poms New Zealand : They have more sheep than people!
Australia : A bunch of loser who cheated to win matches, players claim to have integrity and don't walk back despite knowing that they clearly knicked the ball to the keeper.
Aussies are losing their popularity in the cricketing world because here's what they think of all other teams:
Pakistan: cheaters Sri Lanka : chuckers India: Racist West Indies: Abusers of McGrath's wife. England: who cares. They're pommies South africa: Lets get into their skins. they don't reply anyway.
If this is your logic then the only form of cricket you are goning to enjoy is pura cup "mates".

Close but not quite:
Pakistan: Might get blown up Sri Lanka : Competition India: Competition West Indies: Once were very, very good. Now are very, very bad. England: who cares. They're pommies. As long as we can beat them every couple of year we're happy. South africa: they sound like the English, close enough.
As long as the BCCI keep throwing your money at us, we'll keep playng you.

not only will you keep playing these Indians, you will dance for them, clean up after them and lick their brown feet as long as BCCI throws enough money at the Australians
No one remembers that Aussies had cheated in the first test against the Indians also, athough the no of deceisions which went against the Indians was lesser than in the Sydney test, almost all were at a cruicial juncture in the match and has contributed to the end result in no less manner. But the matter didn't gain much publicity, bcos it is always taken for granted by teams visiting australia & is a well known fact that Aussies will cheat. Such matter never gets reported until it is very drastic.
It seems from past analysis of every touring side to Australia that the Cricket Australia management alongwith with the their media and selected umpires for the tour meet and work out the theme for the sledging and targeting. All the crooks gettogether and work out a gameplan and execute to suport and make their team win. The umpires are bought over and the media ofcourse supports the board and the local sponsors. White face but black hearts and dirty souls.
