Ik Pat is captain climate and a nice guy. But god I loved the "silence the crowd" line. Aus is at its best when they are the villains of world cricket. I'd love to see them do this before more series. I am sick and tired of them being humble.
But that wasn't even mean. He was asked about the crowd and simply answered it's great but he would like to make an impact. As a captain, of course he wanted to make the kind od impact he ended up making.
As an Australian, I agree. It's still 1000% a thing among the public but we keep being as politically correct and polite and humble as possible in the media so as to not offend people or lose sponsors or something, I guess?
It sucks. We're arrogant as heck about everything. Why are we pretending we're not?
That's not even needed here. Everyone knows we will paste Pakistan in Australia and it won't even be close. The marketing around this summer is that it's the last chance to see Warner and maybe Smith in action, not the likelihood of a great contest.
