The 10 Commandments of Aussie Cricket

1. Play the Game hard but never fair.
   
   This can best be illustrated in the incident involving New Zealand and Australia where Greg Chapell asked Trevor Chapell to bowl underarm to prevent New Zealand from tying the match.

2. Intimidate the opposition by sledging and other means
   
   The Aussie way of playing cricket needs no further elaboration
   
   


3. Bowl at the batsman's body and keep bowling bouncers until the batsman nicks one or gets injured severely

4. Ask the umpire to intervene when an opposition players gives a taste of your own medicine (Sledging and stuff)

5. Take advantage of catching agreements between captains and claim one-pitched catches as though they were perfectly legal
   
   The cricketing world has not forgotten the pitched catch taken by Michael Clarke in the Second Test of India's tour of Australia in 2007-08 and claiming it without remorse
   
   


6. Question the umpire's decision, even when you know that the umpire got it right

7. Speak about opposition cricketers in a disregarding manner in the media, when you yourself are not worthy of making such a comment

8. If an opposition player is tearing your bowlers apart, get under his skin and disturb his concentration or intimidate him so that a case is booked by the match referee. (usually resulting in the player being fined some percentage of his match fee or banned for a match)

9. Speak as though you are the best team in the world who is never capable of losing even though you have just lost a match in the most dismal fashion ever
   


10. Last but not least - Win at any cost, playing in the spirit of the game is absolute bullshit
