England team is a perfect example for why cricket is called a gentleman is game.
with due respect, imagine if australia was in the place of england in this ongoing series, l do not think they would have taken defeat in the right spirit ( maybe thats the reason why they r at the top).
but this england team is a group of perfect gentlemen.
U may have not won matches, but u have won hearts.
i am sorry, l did'nt mean to bash aussie team, l just wanted to tell that l liked the way the english behave on the field.
the aussies r agressive on field and there r many people in India who like that agression.
Its just my opinion.

Yes, l respect the English players. The poms are perfect gentleman.

But why are you bashing my team? They are just as good.

Yes, England do epitomise sportsmanship and uphold the spirit of the game. The fans and players realise that there are more important things in sport than winning.
But its unfair to point the finger to Australia, most Australian players are fine and are great sporting players, like Brett Lee.

Yes definitely l thought so. KP looked very composed as he said he'd give better competition to India in the rest of the three matches.......

Neither the Australians cricketers or fan or the Press have accepted defeat, handed over to the Australians both in the 1 day series (Last World Series) & in the test series, gracefully & that they lost to better team. They all were showering abuses.

This English team & fans r showing exemplary sportsman spirit & understood that they were beaten not only by a better team but also due to wrong strategies & approach by the Poms. The press, but for the Indore episode, is also doing a good job.

In the interest of the game, it is for the English to introspect & take actions so that they can move forward.

yes the English players are the perfect combination of best sports man spirit.

l do not know whether they have won hearts,yeah, they have been gentle- manly in this series. l do not approve anybody to act like saints although it is good of the game. l will always say its okay to be a little bit human than being robots.Nevertheless, good for England

Granted, the English and the Kiwis are both good losers, but India and the indian people need to learn how to win, now that they;re starting to do it more often.

well l agree with you and l hope we can also be like them when we lose

l agree

The Pommies are just soft mate - the Aussies have balls. That is the difference.

Australia would never find themselves in the position that England are in, so hypothetical is do not work in this situation.

If you think the English are complete gentlemen, try watching the Ashes. That is real cricket. Nice and tough, none of this pleasantry bullcr4ap.

Yes, England have been graceful in accepting their defeat though they r not used to be being thrashed so badly. KP deserves the respect from everyone.
Any other captain would have gone berserk with this result but he still showed signs of positivity.

Australia have not been challenged enough for the last 10-15 years, so they have had an easy run all over the world. Now that they r being tested & also beaten, they r not able to accept the fact that other teams have started competing against them well. Their no.1 ranking for so many years have made them highly egoistic & bad losers. Hopefully, a few more defeats will settle them down & make them a bit gracious in their defeats.

Yeh,it comes with practice.

:) l dont think so.. they will also behave like this..
