Austrailians are not as much in news for winning the coveted ICC champions trophy which eluded them so far as they are for the behaviour while the award presentation. Atleast the indian media has been very critical of the issue and this is dominating the news for the last 3-4 days. The austalian team has been always critisized for their in-field behaviour during the matches but now they are facing the heat for the awards also.
I have a view that their behaviour was not what you expect from the champions but was it such a big issue that required so much condemnation from accross the political parties and the cricket world. Are they trying to hide their failures by finding the mistakes in the behaviour and attitude of the mighty world champion rather than spending time on the measures to strenghten the basic structure and finding the talent. i was particularly disappointed from the comment by the two of the india's great batsmen from all time giving their view.
I think the unfortunate event, nudging by the Martyn was unintentional and happened at the heat of the moment even though person should take care that these should not happen. i am more critical of the Captain Ricky Ponting for signalling to give the award, he could have shown more patience and responsbility as the captain of the team.
Pawar has gone even bigger in his stature as underplaying the issue and not taking it seriously. the former players are right in demanding the apology for the behaviour but i think they are going far ahead. One political party has sent the legal notice to the austalian embassy for the action. they are just trying to come into lime light and have some moment of the fame.
In my point of view the team Australia should apologies instead of the statements like they are ready to apologies which is fuelling thte issues and CA(cricket australia) and the indian media should try to close the issues quickly. this is a perfect example of the issue blown out of proportion.
