[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 718362, member: 12207"] I heard Haddin make those comments on Triple M this morning - he was clearly still drunk and also pretty clearly just having a laugh. The sledging that went on out there yesterday was pretty tame by most standards and there was very few heated moments between the players. Certainly a lot less ill-feeling than there was between India. At the end of the final there was no ill feeling between the teams - they all had a beer together in the sheds and were pretty friendly and jovial, so I wouldn't let the media outrage machine trick you into thinking there was some nasty stuff going on out there, because the Black Caps weren't buying into it. Also, I know Australia cops a bad wrap in Cricket because of how aggressive their style is and their sledging can be a bit much at times, but it's a pretty working class game here in a lot of ways (Haddin is a country boy from f##ing Cowra and Warner went to the same ****ty state school I went to and couldn't afford bats growing up for instance) and whilst they can be rough on the field they're not all bad blokes. In the India semi-final there was a moment when the ball went right up into the face of Yadav and half the Aussie team came in to check if he was alright, which to me says they're not actually dreadful human beings even if they can carry on a bit some times.
