Each time I turn on the TV news, there is another Australian sportsman blubbing into the camera. Enough already, we know you let everyone down' Time to man up and face the music.

I feel really sorry for the Aussie fans! Two of the best players in the world stooped to this!

Money.
When the sponsors move in, sportsmanship moves out.
The individual is almost certainly on a bonus for every wicket he takes, and the team on a good bonus if they won.
They've got a living ton earn and not many years in which to do it.

Highly (over?) paid "celebs in the public eye are not known for their perspicacity!"

Call me cynical if you like but I have long believed that no activity can accurately be described as "sport" from the first moment anyone gets paid for doing it.

Sport is what takes place on ten thousand recreation parks Nd school playing fields every Saturday morning.

They should go into acting they could win an Oscar, and they are still cheating now by pretending to be heartbroken.
