Why respected Indian media like rediff waste their web page by writing what ex-Australian cricketer says. He has lost credibility by bullying other team on the field. I don't understand whay rediff is bothering to write his comments. Please take ex-Indian crickters interview and write what they says.

Mr.Steve Wagh a great cricketer.He is trying to protect guilty Aussies team.It is the way this team playing for winning and later issues faul statement through media.
To Steve, I am left with fewer and fewer australian cricketers and comentators to respect and admire; the likes of Richie Benaud,Peter Reobuck and most of the australian public.
Tired of hearing "Tough and Uncomromising' and "Tough and Hard" ? virtues of australian cricketers. This a cover for winning at any cost approach. Mental disintegration is another word for bullying into submission as a means to win at any costs. This is that ugly color and character that Steve cannot acknowledge. Emphasising only on celebrations as a sore point, Steve Waugh like Ponting and Co; continue to dodge the question of their disgraceful tactics ( Hard and unfair, Hard and Compromised approach).
Being graceful in winning does not come naturally to people who practice these tools and may I say, will not permit the people at the recieving end of it to be graceful either. Tendulkar,Dravid,Laxman,Kumble,and most others in the present team make feel proud to be an Indian. More later if disgusted enough to write..
Steve has not said anything new. Is Rediff running out of bloggers? This referral system has been discussed at length by many a cricketing brain. Among TV personalities and former players, the most vociferous proponent of them is Sherry Siddhu. Further Steve is justifying Aussie sledging but does not want to justify the sledging indulged by other teams. He wants them to know where to draw the line! From Chappel to Lillee, Border to Ponting, we have had Aussie captains who are specially chosen for their qualities of encouraging and fostering such boorish behavior against the opponents and since not much was being reported and neither were there as many TV channels as now, these were being swept under the carpet. Now the opposition teams as well as the media have woken up and are giving them back buck for buck and the Aussies do not like it. Cry babies!
Steve waugh is a respected person in India. But his writings are giving a diplomatic mask and even approval of deprecable ausie cricketer's conduct. My dear sir please call a spade a spade. Ausie cricket should also respect sesibilities of other countries if they want the same.
Mr.Waugh we understand ur feelings, its an australian view, but what we need is a third person views on the issue, well everything is fine do you think only austrlians have drawn a line to cross, dont u think other teams could have drawn there lines, dont just act as diplomat be sportive

Deer steave. Is it not possible that match was fixed? How it is possible that all seven wrong umpiring decision gone against Indian hence not a single against Australia? Why not ICC is seing this matter in respect of match fixing? Bangalore. Dr. S.K.Tiwari

Sir, I have always maintained that the Australians want competition/sledging but at their own terms and conditions which is not fair. Australian must learn to respect the international behaviour otherwise these so called cricketing professionals will become laughing stock.
