Talk about leading with your chin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Let's talk globally: OLYMPIC GAMESAtlanta 1996 Aust. 7th 41 medals. India ????????? 1 medal (bronze)Sydney 2000 Aust. 4th 58 medals. India ????????? 1 medal "Athens 2004 Aust. 4th 49 medals. India ?????????? 1 medal "THE BAHAMAS ARE MORE SUCCESSFULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Australia has hosted the Olympic Games TWICE. And India??????????Your female weightlifters are probably your best chance to win a medal. Good looking girls? there!!!!!!!!!!COMMONWEALTH GAMESAustralia has led the medal tally by a long way for a long time. India comes in a poor 4th or 5th at absolute best.2010 the games are held in India. Woooo Wooooo.Do you think you could possibly hold the Olympic games this CENTURY??A point for you to consider, an AFL footballer named Brad Green was Aust. under 19 captain. Craig Bradley toured as V/C to Pakistan. Brett Deledio was a state junior cricketer. There are hundreds of others who choose AFL over cricket in the Afl states. We have so many sports from which to choose. Yet we are still no1.FOR MEN;CRICKET, HOCKEY(olympic champs), swimming, cycling,basketball, water polo, surfing,rugby union, rugby league, volleyball, baseball the list could go on.FOR WOMEN;No 1 in the world in basketball, netball. Top 3 in swimming, surfing,hockey,cricket. Softball, cycling, waterpolo. The list could go on.I oh forgot, WOMEN ARE NOT ENCOURAGED/ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE AS WOMEN ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!I forgot, too much of the old cultured spiritual thing.I could mention sports like tennis where we have a rich tradition, soccer, where both men and women are climbing up the rankings.We have had the greatest biliards player ever Walter Lindrum.How many Indians in the Tour De France?????How many boxing world champions has India ever had????Do you really think that you could beat us at volleyball???We have had plenty of shooting champions at the Olympics. Usually in skeet and trap - you lot are not strong enough physically to hold and shoot a shotgun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I could talk sailing - who where the first to win the America's Cup? Plenty of olympic sailing champions as well. I understand if you're not interested in that. CAN'T SWIM CAN WE? All this stuff is right off the top of my head (except for the Olympic stats').Go to Fiji and see what happens to you there. They love bashing Indians!!Your problem is, I know far more about your country than you do mine. It shows in the stupidity of your question regarding Australia and sporting prowess across a broad spectrum.
YOU FORGOT TO MENTION BURNING OTHER COUNTRIES FLAGS. YOU LOT ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS AT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about the lack of paragraphs - I don't know what happened. I set it out so nicely as well.
A couple of more sports; GOLF, don't recall many if any Indians either male or female winning Majors. TENNIS, How many Davis Cups has India won? Players winning any of the big 4? WHere is one of the big four tennis tournements held - certainly not India!!!!!!!!!!!!
MOTOR SPORTS, EVER HAD A FORMULA ONE DRIVER. Ever had someone actually win that. MOTORCYCLE RACING - same again.SQUASH, same again. What about horse racing? No decent trainers or jockeys? What about skateboarding, snowboarding, kite surfing, anyone involved in that? Probably not, ruin the makeup. There are a heap of more olympic sports I could mention.
Face the facts, you will never be as good at sports because you are not team orientated, lack the AGRESSION and courage. Don't eat enough protein either.
Ok, so what? I agree Australia is better than India in most sports. I also agreed earlier that Australia is much more developed economically... Now what? How does it help you with eliminating social evils like racism and gender bias on one hand, and toadying up to the US on the other.
What is your identity besides the great Aussie sporting tradition? How are you as an individual different from the collective Aussie identity? Your complete lack of perspective or manner towards other races or ethnic communities is a fine example of the cultural black hole that your society is...

Wow, you must have really met all the 1 billion plus Indians to come to these conclusions... Actually, I don't blame you... Your mindset is clearly the result of a little group of inbred descendents of convicts living on a remote island away from civilization for a couple of centuries...
By the way, you may not be aware that the great tennis power Australia was relegated to the Asia/Oceania group in the Davis Cup last year after losing to Belgium and Serbia in the World Group... Your Rugby team lost in the World cup quarterfinals... And your Socceroos couldn't even make it to the quarterfinals in the last world cup... Of course, the latest debacle of your mighty cricket team against a bunch of Indian youngsters needs no reminder...
So what happened to your team orientation, aggression, courage and of course, protein diet...
You obviously have never travelled, and, most likely still live at home like the mummys boy you are.
"...social evils like racism and gender bias". Give me a break!!!!!!!!! We have laws in this country against discriminating against race or gender. Can you say the same for India? Gender bias, what a joke. Our women are some of the best in the world regarding sport. No arranged marriages, no female circumcision, no funeral pyre, now or ever. After NZ we were the next to give women the vote. And India?
Toadying up the US? That shows you how smart we are - we spend the money on social programs instead of bombs. Too bad your country has nuclear weapons yet can't feed or educate all your citizens.
I speak, read and write three languages which are all part of the UN's 5 major languages. And you?
My fiancee is European, I grew up with Aborigines, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English Greeks, Italians, Croatians, Germans, Dutch, Swedish, Maltese, Ukranians,Vietnamese, Chinese and Russians, all in a town of 12,000 people. Lack of awareness about other cultures!!! You are not very worldly are you???
Australia per capita is the largest melting pot in the world. Cultural black hole!!!!!!!!!!!! Take a poll across the world and give the choice as to where to live. Give India and Australia. Watch the results.
You shirt lifters love the term convict don't you? That's all you have.
As for sport, tennis - where was India?
Rugby - where was India? Too tough that game for you? It's a shame you don't play it. Nothing like seeing a ladyboy getting smashed.
Soccer - where was India?
Cricket - you win two games and all of a sudden you are world champions. How sad you are. All of the big sports in the world - where are you?? 3 medals in 3 years at the Olympics - where are you?
You have no other sport that you can compete in at the world level. That is why you cannot fathom what is required to win and maintain a winning streak. Life would be good if it was one big Bollywood musical.
You talk about culture - we came about by a vote, no war, no death, no destruction. How was Partition???? How many millions were killed and displaced. Nice legacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You refuse to answer any of my questions regarding travel, language or marital status. That proves to me you are a little man. So typical of the average rabid Indian cricket fan.
If India was such a great nation, why have they never held the Olympic Games? Jamaica and Malaysia have held the Commonwealth Games, yet India has had to wait till 2010. Oh that's right, no infrastructure, no sanitation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many politicians have been murdered in this country? And India? Your talk of a cultural black hole is infantile; I would rather have 230 years like we have than 10,000 years of hatred.
veggi might your a wanker with little understanding of international sport. this is a sport/cricket forum so stop the social and economic crap. At the end of the day the world is so f**ked up that it has gone beyond the point of return.
so stick to the forum subject matter F***head [/quote][/list]

I am sorry what were your questions? I only read your boasts about yourself and your great country so far... Why should I share any of my personal details with a self-proclaimed racist like you?
I am sure any objective reader going through all our posts can easily figure out who's the more prejudiced, self-centred, maniacal egotist between the two of us... There's no need to drag our countries in this..
Little good all your education, travel, cross-cultural exposure and sexual conquests seem to have done to you... I wish you had a better upbringing and some manners taught to you instead...

Hmmm... I am sure you're an expert in international sports... How is it you missed the topic for this thread - "Navjot Singh Sidhu is a coward"... What has that got to do with sports, my learned friend?
I grew up with Aborigines, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English Greeks, Italians, Croatians, Germans, Dutch, Swedish, Maltese, Ukranians, Vietnamese, Chinese and Russians, all in a town of 12,000 people. Lack of awareness about other cultures!!! You are not very worldly are you???
Wow... such exposure to cultural diversity while growing up... and you still grow up to be a "racist" twerp (by your own admission a little earlier)... I wonder if you even spoke to any of these "others"... So what were the names you called each of these? That's probably the only extent of your knowledge about all these cultures...
I do agree with what you say Joey.
The problem is, every Indian has to resort to bringing up the "cultural thing". How many times have you heard the word convict? How our society is so racist... .
The problem is, they cannot argue cricket as a stand alone subject.
Played sport against/with them all. We do play more than cricket here. No caste system either but you wouldn't understand that would you?
I always find that countries that have had no mass immigration always struggle to adapt to other cultures. Look at how India react - they burn flags.
As I said previously, every Indian has to resort to other subjects when the talk on cricket is getting too hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In a country with 1.2 billion population, you are bound to found rich people and poor ones, educated and uneducated, racists, casteists, religious fanatics, criminals, rude people and polite ones... No one is saying India is a perfect heaven... You seem to suggest Australia is...
How can you assume everyone in India to be the same or share common traits? How can you use your cultural lenses to look and pass judgment at people with totally different socio-cultural environment? How can you even make fun of the unfortunate, poor, less educated people?
But then again, you proudly claimed earlier that you are a racist and like to needle "Indians" in particular... I just wonder why? Were you bullied by some darker skinned kids in childhood? Did you get Syphillis from those Asian whores you slept with in your days as a sailor?
I was respected by all colours due to my sporting abilities. As for STD's, I found the best way to avoid that was to hunt girls in libraries, supermarkets and goverment buildings. You would be amazed if you knew.
