I hate how unsportsmanlike our cricket team is. We are the English football team of the cricketing world.
We're not really that bad tbh. We copped an unfair wrap during the Waugh/Punter era's. For the most part we were more arrogant than unsportsmanlike, and we backed up that arrogance pretty well. Generally we were so good on the field they had to look for something else to criticise. Certainly their were times we crossed the line but f**k every country has incidents like that.
Not to mention Punter blowing his top in 05 when he got run out by the sub fielder, which was sour grapes given he got run out when he shouldnt have but that overshadowed largely the fact that Englands tactics re sub fielders were completely against the spirit of the game.
Again, have a look at some of the Indian players, some of the flogs who've played for various nations and you'll see incidents of poor sportsmanship are fairly universal in cricket, in this country though we obviously see it more from our side only.
Although we were bad tonight, and Maxwell's a flog. Arrogance and lip when you've done f**k all in your international career is a horrible look.
