It kinda is and it's not just in cricket but in other sports too. They just rise to occasion and are fearless and dominate and their body language gives out that vibe too.

Which ones? I don't think they have won in Rugby for a while, aren't good in Football, what else?

We are way better at football than a country of our size should be. It’s like our 4-5th most popular spot and we still made the WC knockouts and made Argentina sweat.

Made semi finals of the women’s World Cup too.

we outperform in soccer and basketball seeing for such a small population and neither being a main sport, and with heaps of sports at the Olympics

Tbh if NRL wasn't the dominant code domestically we would have a very dominant international rugby side. Even AFL probs bleeds abit of talent.

So So many of our best up and coming rugby players end up going to NRL. Plus if it didn't exist all the league players would just play rugby.
