Playing for Selfish Records is one thing - Like Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli etc etc ...
Winning for the Team by Outstanding performances like Glenn Maxwell, Steven Smith & George Bailey is completely different.
The Aussies might not be having Big Records and Great Statistics to show off, but they are Definitely not Gas filled Balloons & Over Hyped cricketers like how the Indians are.
Western Countries play Cricket as a Team & to Win, not for personal milestones & glorification.

Please ask MSD to score a single century outside subcontinent. The players you have mentioned above have played their part by scoring runs. Now it is up to our clueless captain ti marshal his troops well

Nobody is interested in records if you continue to get defeated all the time.These records do not matter if your efforts are not supporting team.
