Exactly correctIs it true that ';Racism is the 'ugly underbelly' of Australian sport';?
true but not in only their sport, its in their blood
sports is war by other means


the issue of wars used to be race or tribe or property acquisition


the same is true in sports


nothing new
Its only ugly if you don't understand it.


One of the reasons the nation team is strong is because of the mental tactics that are apart of the game in Australia.


The verbal game is played at all levels, not just high class.





This is not baseball, you don't get a few balls thrown at you and one big hit.


If you are good enough you can bat for hours. But it takes only 1 ball to end your day with the bat, that is huge for a bowling team.


To be attacked by the fielding team and bat through to make a fifty or a hundred is the best feeling.


You know what to expect when you walk out onto the field, and if you play well you earn respect.
My persnal opininion is 'yes'.
