You are clutching at straws now. I've got a list of Englishman a mile long playing conditions for their own sporting benefit. You could call it bad sportsmanship or competition. Your call but before you do ...... ......

Remember in 2005, Steve Harmison bowling fast bouncers at Justin Langer in the dark at the Oval. Not very sporting, given the sun had set. Or lets win the Ashes.???? Aussies are happy to settle with the later.

If not, you'll remember this. By the way, Stuart Broad should be your captain.

Stuart Broad - Absolute Champ or Deadset Chump - Round Eight

You can't tell me I'm clutching at straws only to do the same yourself. I'm well aware that bad sportsmanship isn't a wholly Australian thing, but you lot seem to get wound up by the accusations far more than anyone else. If it winds you up so much stop crying when you lose . I reckon smith might just be the bloke to make Australian cricket popular outside Australia, now there's a bloke made of the right stuff imo

Smith has over 1,100 runs in 2014 - i.e. not just performed well over the last few weeks against India.

Judging Clarke by his whole captainship - I thought he was absolutely exemplary when we lost 3-0 in the 1st Ashes. He never once complained, made excuses and praised his opposition and was very fair - even according to all the English media right down to Botham! No evidence of whingeing and bitching then.

I like someone to hurt when they lose; I don't like someone to just accept it with a stiff upper lip and 'play up, play up, play the game' and all that but each to their own.

You can't dangle a carrot, only to whinge about it when things don't go your way - boycott on Clark . He's a twat, like I said smith has the makings of a decent captain and more importantly a good sportsman. I say more importantly because I personally cannot stick bad losers , they have a massive character flaw.
