text: what's your opinion about australian cricket players using abuse words against oponents in the field?   locktheglock...i dont think the game of cricket has anything to do with speaking/writing english. if you think so you are a hell of a racist, i know where you are coming from.   anyways, getting back to the question, i think over the years austrailan cricket team is getting a little better over verbal abuse. if we are talking about the time before 2004, austrial cricketers did use foul language on the ground despite the fact that icc doesn't allow it. anyways, from what i have seen in last year, they are calming down. the verbal abuse has gotten lesser.
