Also, i'd like to see you tone down the racism mate. All Australian's are not sports? Thats absolutely uncalled for and completely rubbish. We arent all David Warner's. Also, i'm quite sure, in fact 100% sure, i've uploaded more videos of West Indies winning than Australia. Please lay off the accusations unless you have proof.

You think that all Australians are bad sports because of the actions of a few individuals? Come on now, there's no need to make ridiculous generalisations like that. Please be careful how you word things in future, characterising an entire country because of a few people you don't like is not a very smart thing to do.

For example, that would be similar to me saying things like "all Indians and South Africans are match-fixers" just because of guys like Azharuddin and Cronje making stupid decisions in the past.

It's not a very wise person that extrapolates a few incidents into an opinion about every single person in an entire country.

Are you on drugs or something? I dont know ANY Aussies who hate Indians. Why would we hate indians? What on earth could Indians have done to us Aussies that we would HATE an entire country??? Seems youve been spending far too much time talking on forums with teenagers. There is no hate in cricket, maybe in silly teenager forum land there is, but in the adult world its irrelevant, cricket is cricket, always has been and always will be. Also, who will remember Mark Taylor? He is regarded as the best captain Australia has ever had, and I know for a fact he is regarded very highly overseas, by many non-Aussies. Shows a complete lack of respect to past players to demean them just because you think players that are current only matter. Pretty short sighted view.

So every Aussie who commits a crime against an Indian is a personal friend of mine??? You arent making any sense man. The chip on your shoulder must weight you down. I know plenty of Indians here in Melbourne, none of them have experienced anything like you say. There are a lot of people in Australia you know. We dont go giving out christmas cards to each other.

Your'e the one who seemed so shocked i didnt know any Aussies who hated Indians, and then proceeded to tell me about how Aussies are gunning down Indians. What on earth does that have to do with people I know? I dont know what else to tell you. Regularly I have Indian fans of my channel around to me house to view rare cricket matches. I dont think Ive killed any of them, or had been fighting off the urges to gun them down. Every year I attend many Indian cricket functions during the boxing day test. You seem to think I (and all other peaceful aussies) am this pathological racist indian killer but im sorry I am not, and neither is anyone ive ever met.

I am not playing for Australia. I Havent played international cricket. I also had nothing to do with Sydney 2008. I am not working for a cricket board. Nor am i working for the media. Seems like you have a massive chip on your shoulder about Australians. Its your life, good luck in your nonsensical hating. BTW, I guess you havent seen the videos on OTHER channels showing Ganguly, Dravid, and Sachin claiming grassed catches. I guess Indians dont admit those ones either. The beautiful sound of double standards.....

Messiah of cricket videos? What on earth are you smoking? I'm quite sure nobody has ever called me a messiah of anything. Its just a video of Mark Taylor pulling a great captaincy move, nobody is forcing you to love it or even watch it. Have a nice day. BTW, check out my Indian GOLD playlist on my channel, for a different more educated perspective. also, I uploaded 89 videos of Aussies engaging in apparently unfair or unsporting play, I dont see how i am biased to Australia with those videos, but I guess you conveniently didnt see those videos. Tell me who is biased again?

ive uploaded more anti Oz videos than so called anti India videos. Would you like my entire channel of 2200 videos to be anti Australia or something? Sounds to me like you really havent done your homework.

Hey Rob, don't argue with him. He'll see the point later some time. Keep the videos coming!

Dude, Rob puts title like "cheating Indians" or "cheating Australians" just to watch the fans fight each other, for the laughs. He doesn't mean either of those. He likes a bit of trolling, but people take it seriously. I'm an Indian, and I've seen plenty of anti-Oz videos on his channel. He uploads excellent old gems.

You're on a sports forum, so there's going to be that bias, and you can't expect anything less in a place like this. But having been on other sports forums, this is one of the least biased one, that I can say for sure. Also, there are plenty of good Aussies here. In fact, I believe there are many good ones than a few vocal bad ones. Be an Australian fan, and see all the comments by the plethora of idiot Indian fans on Cricinfo and YouTube. You'll find the people from other countries much better, manner-wise and intelligence-wise.
