It’s not only the Indians who feel that the current Australian cricket team is arrogant. Even a former Aussie player believes that the players don’t play in the spirit of the game and they need ‘counselling’.
According to Geoff Lawson, the Australians are considered to be “arrogant” by the rest of the cricket world and it’s time that the players behave properly on and off the cricket pitch.
Lawson, currently coaching the Pakistan team, has also claimed that the Australians did not play within the spirit of the game in their 122-run second Test win over India at the Sydney Cricket Ground last week.
“There’s certainly been a lot of feeling from ex-players who think the baggy green has been disrespected.
“Some of these (current) players need to be spoken to. I certainly don’t agree with dragging (Ricky) Ponting’s captaincy, I just think a bit of counselling needs to be done with how these players perceive themselves.”
