Finally, someone has told the public that their sporting culture is over the top. Unfortunately, their players do not show the leadership to change that culture
Very well said, ir-respective of country,region and nationality. It takes guts to come out and call a wrong thing wrong. Huge respect to you Sir 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼. I also want to add that such things should be criticized in all countries including India, as you rightly said it's not a comedy show where people come and pass comments .
I have played cricket against Indian teams here in Melbourne, they racially villify Australians all the time in hindi and laugh about it. I know this as one of our players married an Indian woman and speaks hindi fluently having spent 5 years in India. You guys are as bad as Australians, no difference tbh.
What’s funny was Tim paine came in as captain carrying all that “good guy” image and talking about changing the team culture and then turned out to be the worst there ever has been in Aus! Cos usually the others purely sledged which imo was okay but this guy showed how classless he is with his language!
agreed! we didn’t show fight when we needed too. at the gabba, we made 360 odd, india 170/6 and they end up making 330! our heads were in the wrong space. we focused on sledging more than the game itself.
I don't think Tim paine ever crossed that line. Indian legends also sledged. Whatever happened in the field between the players is totally acceptable but here these guys are talking about the racial slurs passed by the audience. I don't know why ppl hate Tim Paine.
@@TheDark-Knut Indians have never abused🤣🤣🤣. Our great Captain has abused on several occasions. And coming on to the issue of racial slurs. Indian crowd too passes racial slurs it's just the fact that foreign players don't understand hindi slurs. Although now they do, but players like Warner take it too well. Indians are behaving like softies here.
I am constantly in genuine disbelief that there are people out there who still rally behind Tim Paine after what he did at Sydney. To call out someone who has achieved 10 times more than you ever will in red ball and to have those expletives heard by all the young kids around the world, great precedent set indeed 'mate'.
The high point if Australia cricket was the presentation of the Frank Warrell trophy at the end of the 60/61 series. Speeches and good will to remember.
Very well stated Kerry. I have followed Aussie cricket closely since 1974 and the names from the teams were legends. I hope to go to Australia some day to a Boxing day or New year test and I will be looking forward to a great experience and hopefully it will be that way. On the side, I can't tell you how much I admire you commenting. Truly amazing and hilarious!
I'm an Indian & I need to remind all, that people who live in glass houses, need to be a a bit careful about flinging stones at others. Our captain, Virat Kohli, can do better. Amazing batsman that he is, he can always let his bat do all the talking.
@@ArchismanMozumder Correct and a very good point..many comments here are for those who watch their home cricket game from behind caged boundaries. Doesn't happen in the nations they critique. Look in their own back yards.
Played cricket in Australia all my life and you don’t realise how commonplace it is until you watch this. I never sledge anyone on the field, I just want to play a game of cricket. But there’s always a couple of shit blokes that ruin it for everyone...
Banter is fine and good for the game and bit of friendly sledging is also required,but vulgar words,being racist on player based on their skin colour,religion is not acceptable
Very rightly said and there's a lot to learn about respecting the game, the players and the system and the need to dump the myriad slurs veiled in the name of banter. And it's not only pertinent to the Aussies but also to spectators, players across the globe.
Not a single word from O'Keefe about the Aussie teams sledging, they've been spouting vile abuse at test teams for the past 50 years yet no one says enough!
Not every joke made about a foreign national is intended to be racist. It is easy to get offended and difficult to be rational about it. Don’t choose the easy.
@@jigarp999 it's much more sensitive than that my friend. The dude's sitting on national television teaching young kids to go to school and casually make fun of the other person's culture. Is that what you want the young impressionable minds to learn?
@@pradeepmavilla914 - 1. Sensitivity is very subjective. The funny thing is that even though the world is more mixed/globalized today than ever before, yet it has become overly sensitive about things. As long as there is no obvious intention to ridicule anyone, we should be okay with it rather than sitting with a microscope waiting to point fingers. 2. As Indians, most of us are more divisive and racist with our own people back home so shouldn’t we look into the mirror before lecturing anyone else? The untouchability, castism, religious hatred, etc are way more active in India than Australia my friend. Let’s be honest here. Kerry O Keefe may/may not be a “casual” racist, but our own people are “racist in denial”. So yes you are right, those who are racist/castist shouldn’t lecture others.
I salute Kerry for the unflinching statement on sledging and banter, they are just not part of the game. Imagine this is taken to other games specially Golf . It is time ICC takes note of this and put in place rules for sledging and banter.
Well said Skull ! This is the best of your cricketing & social sense. Oz society needs to be progressive and break the shell of sledging & racial comments. Shame on them
So nicely said from this experienced player. Sledging has always been part of Aussies cricket culture which I guess started from Merv Hughes time. It has tarnished image of Australia team and Australia fans as a whole over the long run!
The Australians are by far the most unsporting nation in the world. They pride themselves on playing good sports but it will be the years biggest lie if they can say that they are good sportspersons. It's not only the players who need to be sporting its also the fans who stand with them. Australia needs to learn to be better or to simply not compete.
I think we should be happy to have learnt that through them, they in my opinion are the most open about their real feelings frm countries with white majority, the rest of them act all friendly and nice but in reality are all the same, while we are a country full of fools chanting vasudhaiva kutumbam lmao,
It probably runs in the genes. It’s some of the teens and school kids, though in minority, indulge in racism. Wonder if schools don’t teach any values.
Kerry is great commentator has a great sense of respect for game and foreign players as well and sorry to say not as biased as some of other Austrian commentators. And his take on sledging is perfectly explained , once herald from warney that he wanna win any which way by hook or crook or sledge .. so if you have so much talent , why u gotta sledge .. same apply wth crowed gotta believe in their players ability n talent and gotta respect foreign players ....
Considering how current Australia as a nation came up, and also one of its official policy that continued till 1970s, and personal experience, there is no surprise that these things are common in Australia, at least under the breath one can easily sense it.
@@southpawlibranine3511 eastern states in India are Indians essentially, and come and remain part of the family. We all intermingle - there is no 'Lost Generation' in the Manipur, Mizoram etc of India; there is no deliberate teaching given that might take them away from their ancient knowledge of their tribal-hood; and they are not taken away from their parents. I can speak more if you raise more points.
@@tol-mol-ke-bol iam just talking about rascist attitudes towards them in india in every facet of life. So top with your mental gymnastics. You know damn well what iam yalking about
@@southpawlibranine3511 telling me your perception of things does not prove it to be true, but the reality in Australia (which is also the main context of the video here) is well documented and recorded.

Otherwise, linking the immediate precursor of contemporary Australia to the British, and the colonial atrocities on racial lines by the British can fill volumes and volumes of thesis and the list might still not end.

From Dennis Lillee’s Aluminium Bat to Trevor Chappell Underarm bowling from steve smith ball- tampering scandal to foul mouthed Ricky ponting Australian cricket is just full of controversies
Very very good to see this kind of a discussion in Australian cricket. Just think of that Australian team between 2000 and 2007. If only they behaved well, they would have been demigods in every corner of the world. Sadly they are demigods only in Australia because of this sledging culture.
Ashwin in despair would have termed Sydney as the worst place but as per what I have known or seen Sydney and the people over there are the best you may get.
Best aussie interview heard. U put finger on our nose and u think we will let u go, how fool u ppl might be?? Improve ur game too and then sledge coz that's all u aussies know
What? Skull was being serious? That's hilarious lol perhaps Skull's best joke yet. I learnt to sledge from Kerry but he's changed so much that he now answers to the name "Toes".
Cricket is a gentlemans game for the rest of the world but not Aussies.visiting teams are first targeted by press then so called sledding from the stands and on the ground.Earlier teams have to endure bad umpiring as well.our players were denied the glorious moments.Despite of that Sandeep Patil rams in to Dennis Lilliee and Gavaskar hammered a fifty with 10 fours. List goes on Tendulakar,Dravid,Ganguly and Lakshman.

*Never seen a person put sledging at questioning better than him. Simply hats off👍*
Get a bag of cement !
That's one of the best comments I have ever heard ..........
skull the legend, keeping test cricket at a high quality and class. we need more people like him
Agree with you sir..... sledging is pathetic and needs to stop and so is racism👍🏽
Your own people are rascists against north easterners. So get off tour high horse.
Finally, someone has told the public that their sporting culture is over the top. Unfortunately, their players do not show the leadership to change that culture
And that "one test" is now HISTOREEEEEY
Not only that one test the whole test series is history now and this history will be remembered for years.
Give this man A nobel Prize for that Speech.
What do you think of indias treatment of its own people from the north east

Massive fan of his commentary (including comedy) and have huge respect for this piece. Good on you Kerry!!
Finally saying it as real as it gets...huge respect to Kerry for speaking it from the heart ♥️👍
This man really showed mirror to australian cricket about their anti social behaviour... good points put forth!
He is right about one thing Our own players have been doing it for years Clark McGrath were bad at it.

When your Test cricket captain himself sledges opponents,
Think about the level of Australia's fans.
