What dissapoints me the most is that no one has taken to Australia, as they would any other underdog. Because thats what they are. Only 4 years ago, everyone took an instant liking to Korea and Senegal in the 2002 World Cup. Two years later, Greece, and Otto Rehagal, captured the hearts of many in Euro 2004. And yet, here we have a team, and a nation, only just beginning to make inroads on the world stage, only to be chastised for it.
I fear that it may have something to do with the same nations successes in other areas - or more specifically -
in Cricket.
