Perhaps now at least you'll come out of our collective "Sydney 2008" syndrome and acknowledge how the wider sporting world views the Aussie performance..... :)
BTW, can you let me know what have you seen amiss in Australian team's behaviour that is "non-spirit" orientated?.... (and kindly keep "Sydney 2008" anomaly out of the equation while making your impartial judgment).... :)

Dear Against Pseudos,
You are right in saying that Aussie cricketers do not openly violate the spirit of cricket. But you will agree that most of the time their gimmicks of sledging are such that they don't get caught on camera. If you have doubts, listen to some of the opposing batsmen complain about Aussie slip cordon's constant chatter, that sometimes goes downright abusive.
But yes, I don't see Australians complaining about umpiring decisions as Indians do, many times umpire has given wrong decisions against Australia too.
