MELBOURNE: Spin legend Shane Warne has suggested the current Australian cricket team to stop "whingeing" and get on with the game.
Warne, who was a part of the remark team in South Africa when the ball-tampering scandal took place, said he sensed an issue within the Australia camp when they began complaining in regards to the opposition after issues didn't go their way.
"I'm not sure there were team culture problems but I have noticed there is a lot of whingeing coming out of the Australian camp in recent times, about the opposition and things like that," Warne was quoted as pronouncing via News Corporation.
"I think that's un-Australian, I have never really heard any Australian sides do that," added the leg-spin great, who took 708 wickets in 145 Tests.
The ball-tampering scandal cost heavily for three Australian players, including now banned captain Steve Smith, his deputy David Warner and Cameron Bancroft.
While Smith and Warner had been banned for three hundred and sixty five days via Cricket Australia for his or her involvement within the scandal, Bancroft, who was tasked to execute the motive at the ground, has been suspended for 9 months.
Warne also said that Australia must by no means emulate the taking part in style in their Trans-Tasman competitors New Zealand as many has urged.
"But I think it's a great opportunity for everyone in world cricket to draw a line in the sand and say 'how do we want to play the game?' 'What do we stand for?' 'What's the style of play we want?' I don't think we want to play like the Kiwis, which I heard someone say. I mean, c'mon. The Kiwis, no thank you," he said.
"But we probably want something in between the Kiwis and Australia at the moment. I want us to play hard but fair, tough, uncompromising cricket, but shake hands and play in the spirit of the game and show good sportsmanship."
