In fact, one of the nicest things to have happened to me this summer was the opportunity to meet a lot of simple, sports loving Australians who have been appalled by what has happened. They are bored and angry about all that has been happening and I am sure cricket lovers in India feel the same way. It is time we demanded our game back and the first step is for the ICC to ban all abuse and sledging. Now. And for good.
It is time to sit back and admire the progress that Ishant Sharma has made and applaud Adam Gilchrist’s contribution. That is why we watch sport and read about it. Not for all the other nonsense we have been subjected to these last couple of months.
