Haven't seen it so I can hardly comment on it.

Such as what absolute garbage? DO you mean during Sri Lanka's tour here or do
you mean during the I blinked and missed it tour of Sri Lanka?

Obviously you've never read the English tabloids.

Well considering the results when Sri Lanka toured here you must be talking
about the tour of Sri Lanka, which was a pretty pointless tour even by ICC
standards.

Bull... balderdash! Complete rot.

Hats off to Colin Croft. I'm interested to see what people thought of
Croft's article "Flatter To Decieve" in this Sunday's "Age" newspaper in
Melbourne (was it in the SMH also?). I admire the man for speaking out
as he did, in parts I think he may have gone a bit over the top, but for
the most, he was spot on.

The absolute garbage I read in the newspapers and reports on TV last
year during the Sri Lankan tour was pathetic. The Australian media,
both electronic and print, are probably the worst in the world, when it
comes to accurate and unbiased reporting. They really don't take losing
well, do they? That's because more likely than not, they are going to
hide it.

regards.

Suren.
