The Big internal squeeze

8220;It8217;s not war. Their desire to win at all costs is beginning to blur their moral compass. We will be seeking a meeting with Cricket Australia to seek to get the Australian team to readjust their behaviour so that they do show respect for their opponents.8221;

8220;We don8217;t like what we are seeing and hearing at the moment.8221;

8220;It concerns me that the Australians are regularly being referred to as being arrogant and because it is mentioned so often, you begin to wonder.8221;

8220;There8217;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 don8217;t agree with dragging Ricky Ponting8217;s captaincy, I just think a bit of counselling needs to be done with how these players perceive themselves.

8220;As an ex-Australian player I was pretty disappointed. Perception is everything and the outside world thinks that this Australian team is arrogant and not well behaved.

8220;Whether the team themselves think that is another issue, but I can guarantee you the rest of the cricket world certainly feel that about this cricket team.8221;
